Easter Basket Additions

Hi Ya'll! I am so SUPER excited to be a guest of Amy's!!

My name is Tiffany and Amy and I have know each other for YEARS...I mean like middle school YEARS! I have a handful of blogs...literally...looking for a STEAL or a DEAL then click HERE....got a bun in the oven then click HERE....wanna see a real life miracle baby then click HERE!! Enough tooting my horn let's get to the really good stuff...

Easter is just around the corner so why not do a post about Easter baskets?

Do you do them at your house? I do! I can taste those PEEPS now!! I prefer the rabbit ones and I like my PEEPS about a week stale...I know...I am weird like that!! For as long as I can recall I always got a new bathing suit in my basket. This was something I looked forward to every year and a little tradition I am passing on to my daughter too!

Another tradition I started is buying a piece from the Longaberger Basket Collection. I bought the Easter Basket from Tessa's 1st Easter (2009) and figured until she is 18 I'd buy her something so that she'd have a whole slue of valuable pieces to take along with her when she gets a family of her own.

Here is what I have in mind for this year....

I'm LOVING that Gator basket from Longaberger!

Here are some neat things to consider adding to your kiddo's basket this year....

Sidewalk Stencils

(you may need to invest in a BIG basket for this stencil set to fit in!)

Bubble ooodles

(these are THE BEST bubbles EVER made...SERIOUS!)

Hero Cape

Easter Egg Lil Scribblers

(also perfect for goodie bag favors for parties....kids LOVE them!)

I made a trip today to Michael's and saw their bins (the ones jammed with stuff $2 or less) are on sale and have super great things for baskets...like erasers, note pads, lollipops, Easter fizzle soaps...LOTS of stuff! Keep that in mind too!

Thanks for having me Amy and Amy's peeps.....yummm....peeps!
