While Easter baskets are usually reserved for kids, we think adults deserve something festive for Easter, too. “Easter baskets are traditionally filled with chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Peeps, and painted eggs, and almost exclusively enjoyed by kids,” says Elisabeth Noel Jones, founder and CEO of GiftMeChic, which offers gift curation services for individuals, organizations, retailers, and private events. “I love the idea of thinking about Easter baskets for adults, however.”

Whether you want something small to give friends and family, something to show your Easter host how much you appreciate them, or to put together an excellent Easter basket, we’ve compiled a list of Easter gifts for adults, from kitchen gadgets and home decor to jewelry and accessories.

　　 Questions and Answers

What do you put in an adult Easter basket? Jones suggests sticking to a theme. This could mean a spa Easter basket, kitchen gadget basket, brunch basket, or even an artsy basket with fun crafts. If you don’t want to do a themed basket though, consider what types of things the recipient enjoys: skincare, candles, lotion, coffee, a sweet treat, or even a new book to read. It’s all about what will put a smile on their face.

What is a traditional Easter gift? Traditional Easter gifts include chocolate bunnies, candy, jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps, and small toys and such, usually in a pastel color. Traditional gifts can also take a deeper meaning and represent the religious aspect of Easter and include things like cross jewelry.

How do you make Easter special for adults? Elevate and personalize the gifting experience to make Easter special for an adult. Ditch the chocolate bunny and instead get them something they can actually use or would enjoy, like the Yeti Rambler Wine Chiller or the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker. If you want to keep the chocolate bunny though, that’s fine, just add something personal to the gift as well.

What can you give for Easter instead of candy? “If creating a theme-specific basket is too much, you simply cannot go wrong with offering a brightly colored bouquet of tulips on Easter or an easy-to-take-care-of plant and putting them inside a basket for effect,” says Jones. “Easter marks the beginning of spring so anything blooming is thoughtful and appropriate!” You can also take a look through this guide for numerous non-candy ideas.
