Ah spring – the sounds of birds chirping, the beginning of longer days, the sight of flowers popping up through the ground and blossoms on the trees, and, let’s not forget EASTER, which happens to be my personal favourite holiday.
I love that it’s a fun holiday, time for families to get together, without too many expectations. I also happen to enjoy the part where a giant friendly bunny hops around my yard and leaves me, oops, I meant leaves my kids, chocolates to chow down on until our tummies hurt.
But Easter gifts aren’t all about the chocolate. The best part for me was always the Easter basket; the big, colourful, sparkly wicker basket, hidden in the best place, filled with all sorts of fun Easter-y goodies.
Are you looking for some fun Easter basket gift ideas? Why buy a bunch of low quality items from the big box stores when you can instead support a local Vancouver Island maker? You can even do it without leaving your home, as these makers will all deliver through the magic of our Canadian mail system.
I’ve created two ‘Island Crafted’ Vancouver Island Easter Gift Guides. The first one is all things Easter, the second one includes other great Island made Easter gift ideas.
