I know I know you’re probably saying, who gives Easter baskets to adults? I thought people only made Easter baskets for toddlers or maybe even Easter baskets for teens – but adults? Is that a thing?

Well yes, yes it is. It’s actually a big thing – Easter is a really good excuse to give something to the adults in your life you care about, all in the form of an Easter basket!

And while many of these Easter basket ideas for adults could actually just be given as gift baskets all year round, they also make great Easter baskets – especially if you add in some Easter candy and Easter eggs.

I know I for one am hoping that my husband reads this post and thinks this is the year I finally get my very own Easter basket. Probably not going to happen but a girl can dream right?

After all the spring break travel we did (hello Disney Cruise), I’d much rather open an Easter basket from the Easter bunny on Easter morning than play Easter games or bake an Easter glazed ham this year! I’d even be willing to go on an Easter scavenger hunt to find it!
