Let’s face it, everyone loves to wake up to a special basket filled with fun Easter surprises. Of course, it’s just as fun for us to watch them discovery all the adorable Easter items we found for their baskets.

Experiences
An Easter Basket is the perfect thing to add some experiences too. Be creative here and try to find an item to use as a basket that will go along with the theme of your experience gift. If you get stuck, something like a large repurposed mason jar will work perfectly. Just fill with Easter Grass and tie some Easter Ribbons around the neck of the jar.

Really any special interest that you know your child would love would make a wonderful Clutter-Free Easter gift.
Treats
We can’t forget about adding a few treats to the baskets, it’s Easter after all! But that doesn’t mean you have to fill their baskets with candy. I’m not saying you shouldn’t add some favorite candy and chocolate, in fact, I think you should! However, you can balance the sweets out with some healthier snacks that your kids will still love.
RX Bars – these are a bit pricey but they are perfect for a special healthier treat.
Grass-Fed Beef Sticks – I personally don’t eat meat, but my son loves these.
Dried Fruit – It still gives that desire for a sweet treat without having all the processed sugar
I hope these ideas were helpful to you! You really can have fun enjoying all your favorite things without having to add clutter to your home, even when you have kids. Now it’s time to get started on your clutter-free Easter baskets and have a wonderful Easter!
