Easter is around the corner, but is the (real) Easter bunny ready? I don't create baskets for holidays like St. Patrick's Day, but my husband and son are both on the receiving end of Easter baskets. There's the standard stuffers like a chocolate bunny, bright and colorful eggs filled with Reese's, jellybeans and Cadbury eggs and marshmallow Peeps. But, I always add in a "big ticket item" like a small Lego set for my son, or a new Stanley for my husband.

So, step away from the generic baskets at your nearby grocery store. Grab this adorable, soft bunny-themed basket, because I've got the perfect fillers.
