Homemade Easter basket gifts?

Do you make homemade gifts? If so, what type of things do you make?

Homemade chocolates are easy and so rewarding to make! You can do some really fun flavors and dip nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, etc. Yummy!

I love those "truffles" that people make with cookie crumbs, cream cheese, rolled into balls and dipped in chocolate! Pretty easy and delicious!

For grown ups, you can't beat homemade bread and some gourmet jelly.

Ok, my mouth is watering just thinking about these truffles.

Do you have a recipe that's tried and true?


My daughter's class is making the cutest milk jug Easter Bunny baskets. I can tell you how cute they are up close because I have a burnt finger from hot gluing ears onto the plastic jugs. lol!! I'm thinking of having my kids make one for my Mom and sending it to her filled with some stuff.

Filling plastic Eggs with homemade Playdough. Hair ties/ribbons. Small finger puppets. Rings/necklaces, key chains beaded or laynards. Just a few ideas. Also could crochet stuffed animals. Sew a quick apron. Mixes in jars for cakes or cookies.

There is 6 of us , we pull names and make Easter Baskets for the person we pulled. It is fun and a nice way to share the old tradition

That's a great idea! We've done that for Christmas in the past but I never thought of doing that for Easter.
