The Girls Easter Baskets

Easter is this upcoming Sunday. I know I have posted a bunch of Easter related posts, but here is another. I talked about Easter basket shopping and I finally got all of my items. Well, I may find something else small that I can put in the eggs that is not candy that I have below. 

So here is the girls Easter baskets. One has a blue basket and the other has a pink one. While they were at school one day, I grabbed their baskets and filled them up to make sure everything fit and that I had what I wanted.

Girls Easter baskets

And here is a breakdown of what is inside.
Harper Canyon Sandals

My girls are obsessed with sandals and they love Rory's Birkenstocks, so I thought this was a happy medium. Plus I got them on sale at Nordstrom Rack.

Makeup Eyeshadow Brushes

I talked about these in my Amazon Prime purchases. I got these because the girls are really into makeup right now. They got a bunch of makeup for their birthday and always want to try new colors. Since some of the colors are bold, I needed more of these, so why not put them in their baskets?

Ello Glass Tumbler

The girls love using water bottles. I was a little hesitant on getting them glass ones, but these have a silicone sleeve and the glass is really thick. I got the purple and blue one.

Bunny Ring Pop

My girls love Ring Pops and when I saw these at Target, I had to grab them.

Peeps Sally Hansen Nail Polish

When I was at Ulta using my gift card (I will let you know what I got in another post), I grabbed these for the girls. I love the brightness of the colors and they are really into painting their nails. Even by themselves with some supervision.

Universal Thread Hair Clip

The girls always see me where one of these when I blow dry my hair. They love doing their own hair and I thought these would be cute for them. We got one in blue and one in purple.

Osh Kosh Cloud Dye Sweatshirt

My girls want crop tops after seeing other kids wear them. I am not about that, so this is as close as they are going to get. It says it sits at the hip. It is still cooler here, and these will also be perfect for Summer nights in Graeagle.

And then I got these items below to stuff in their Easter eggs for the Easter egg hunt on Easter morning. As I said above, I want to get something else for them that is non-candy. Suggestions?
Cadberry Creme Eggs

Fun fact, I can't stand these, but Rory and the girls love them.

Andes Mints

We all love these in my house. They are even better when you put them in the fridge.

Starburst Jelly Beans

The girls and I love Starburst, so these are a natural candy filler for us.

Easter Basket Ideas for Kids 5 - 9 Years Old

Another fun Easter post. This time Easter basket ideas for kids 5 to 9 years old. Some of these items the girls are getting, some I bought for them recently (ie for Mexico), and some are just ideas I have for the girls/kids birthday parties.

Easter Basket Ideas for Kids 5 - 9 Years Old
Big Truck Hats - This is a local company to me and we have several of their hats. I have some, Rory has some and the girls have some. They are amazing and perfect for beach and Summer days.

Imagine Ink Books - My girls love these and will be getting this set and another princess one. Since this one comes in a pack of three, I need one extra to split them up. They have them in pretty much any character you want.

VTech Kids Karaoke - My girls would love this thing, and I would get it for them if we didn't get them handheld microphones last year for Easter.

Frozen Dive Toys - I got the girls these dive toys and some Trolls ones. They love diving for toys in the kiddie pool in Graeagle.

Glow in the Dark Slime Kit- What kid is not obsessed with slime? I know my girls are and this is a fun glow in the dark kit for it.

Disney Waterproof Stickers for Water Bottles, Skateboards, Luggage - My girls are getting these for their luggage and their water bottles that they bring to school daily. This will set their water bottles apart from others.

Apples to Apples Disney Edition - I think my girls might still be a bit too young for this, but I am hoping to get it for them next year. Unless any of you have it and it would be ok for 6 year olds. I love the game Apples to Apples and this is a fun family version.

Stomp Rocket - I have purchased this stomp rocket 3 times already. My girls have it, my nephew has it and one of the girls friends has it now. It is a huge hit.

Dock and Bay Quick Dry Towel - This towel is pretty awesome. It is perfect for the beach, gym, sitting in the grass or for travel. I got the girls one for Mexico and they dry soooo fast, pack small and dry people off quickly.

Punching Bag for Kids - My nephew has this and loves it. 

Other items for the Easter baskets:
Candy
Coins/Money inside of hidden eggs
Chapstick
Bandaids
Books
Sandals
Bathing Suits
Goggles
