Easter is one of the holidays that it seems most people participate in. In our family, we always had an egg hunt for the kids, a big meal, and Easter baskets for everyone in the family. Yep, no matter your age, you had a basket full of goodies waiting for you.
As I got older, the goodies got better. The candy started getting upgraded, and so did the gifts. Of course, as an adult, and no longer really living close to my family, this tradition has sort of fallen by the wayside. Other people I know don’t seem to do the Easter Baskets for everyone thing.

I’ve decided I’m bringing it back. Easter Baskets for adults are awesome, and really pretty easy to put together. In this one, I purchased a sort of rustic, yet totally industrial chic basket, filled it with basket filler, and started adding some great goodies.
Fabulous Finds for Your Easter Basket for Adults
Tubby Todd Lemon Crème
Citrus, and particularly lemon, always evoke the fresh scent of clean, and sunny days where the weather is turning warmer. Tubby Todd’s Easter release of its Lemon Crème line checks all of the boxes. From their Hair and Body Wash to the smooth as silk Body Lotion, these products just evoke the feel of Spring. Tubby Todd is perfect for the new mom’s Easter basket, as Tubby Todd is made for babies and kids.
Demeter Fragrances
Tuck a few Demeter fragrances into her Easter Basket. Demeter is a library of over 300 scents that are designed to elicit a feeling or memory by the wearer. By combining the different scents, they can develop their own signature scent. Demeter also offers Foolproof Blending Sets, designed to create no-fail blends of your favorites scents. All of Demeter’s scents are one note, meaning they have not been blended like other commercial perfumes and colognes, and are designed to be worn singly or combined. From florals and fruits to Kitten Fur to Marshmallow, there’s truly a scent for everyone.
Ekster Wallets
Looking for a gift-worthy item for your favorite guy’s Easter Basket? Look no further as Ekster has you covered. Their sleek wallets are a complete redesign of the old-fashioned bi-fold style we all grew up seeing. My favorite is the Senate, which holds 12 cards or bills conveniently and comes in a variety of body materials and colors. This is a great way to upgrade his style without him even knowing.
See’s Candies
What’s an Easter basket without candy? Even an Easter basket for adults? Although See’s Candies is good anytime, their large chocolate covered Easter Eggs are the perfect adult sweet treat. See’s has been around for more than 100 years making chocolates and other candies. Their motto of Quality without Compromise shows in everything they make. From fudge to dipped chocolates to their special butterscotch lollypops, there’s something to delight anyone. See’s Candies is great for celebrating any holiday, or simply an indulgence for any day.
Gallison Puzzles
Of course any adult Easter basket needs a couple toys or games. Gallison Puzzles make a great family gift. The Springtime Petals 500 piece jigsaw puzzle is a big bouquet of fresh as Spring flowers will be a perfect activity for the entire family from kids to grandparents. Gallison Puzzles has a wide variety of designs including licensed images from Andy Warhol to Frank Lloyd Wright; their Easter and Spring puzzles are suitable for a wide range of family settings and ages. Their puzzles also come in easy to hard difficulty, allowing you to tailor the puzzle to the age and skill group easily.
Franzese Hot Chocolate
There’s no better way to upgrade your Easter Brunch menu than a fabulous decadent beverage. Enter Franzese. Franzese has taken your favorite coffee beverages that were previously only available at the local gourmet coffee shop and made them available for the home. They have rich hot chocolate, chai, and icy frappe mixes that taste as good as any barista made beverages. There’s even a gelato (I’m definitely planning a summer party now) you can make in your ice cream maker. Originally only carried in Nordstrom stores, Franzese is now available online. Their European inspired Hot Chocolate has been named one of the best online, and we agree.
Whats Up Beauty Dragon Eye Palette
What would any self-proclaimed makeup lover (like me) want to find in their basket on Easter morning? I might venture to guess something colorful, pretty, and cool. What’s Up Beauty’s Dragon Eye Eyeshadow Palette is all those things and more. It contains 12 colors of eyeshadow – 5 matte and 7 foil, with the matte colors loosely based on skin tones and the foils based on iridescent fantasy. The palette is boxed and embossed with a huge metallic dragon. Also, the Dragon Eye palette has a magnetic base so the pans can be removed or rearranged. It’s made in Italy and is talc-free, cruelty free, and free of all known carcinogens, toxins or hormone disruptors which are harmful to the body.
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
Although Touchland Hand Sanitizer would be an unexpected inclusion in a grownup Easter basket, the recipient will be delighted to receive it. They come in several springtime colors, and in a variety of scents from berry, to florals to vanilla, so you can tailor the scent to the recipient. Touchland Hand Sanitizer is a whole new formulation of sanitizer, as it looks more like cologne and is a spray, instead of a gloppy gel. Touchland is non-greasy yet has emollients to soften skin, and is TSA approved for travel. Hand sanitizer has become part of our daily routine over the past few years; why not kick it up a notch?
Soap & Glory
Add some pampering me time to her Easter basket with Soap & Glory. She’ll be thrilled when she sees those signature bright pink containers. From Clean on Me Body Wash to Scrub of Your Life and The Righteous Body Butter, there’s a complete system that will leave her skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed, just in time for warmer weather. It’s a good quality line with a budget friendly pricepoint that’s great for all ages. Plus that signature Soap & Glory scent of Rose & Bergamot just adds to the luxe feeling.
Maniglovz
Every woman is concerned about her hands aging, because they are a telltale sign. ManiGlovz are a great way to protect her hands from harmful UV light whether she’s driving, getting a manicure or just enjoying time outdoors. ManiGlovz come is a wide variety od prints to suit her mood or style. They are made from UPF 50+ fabrics to continuously protect her hands from harmful UV rays. No need to continuously apply sunscreen when using ManiGlovz; and their four-way stretch is designed to fit everyone. If you’re lounging on the beach or sitting at the salon, protect those hands from UV damage. Pop a pair or two of these into any Easter basket for women and she’s sure to love them!
Nyrelle Half Hoop Beaded Earrings
Impress her with this pair of earrings tucked away in her Easter basket. Classic Half Hoop Beaded Earrings from Nyrelle are perfect no matter her personal style. They are a classic open hoop with small round bumps along the edge, making them the perfect classically modern style. These hoops are great for casual, work and even a night on the town. The earrings are a nice weight – not flimsy at all, and they are made of vermeil over sterling. The Nyrelle Half Hoop Beaded Earrings are sure to become a favorite.
Tocca Colette Body Oil
Tocca Colette Body Oil is sort of a surprise. She’s sure to love finding a bottle of Olio Sublime Profumato in her Easter basket for adults. It’s one of Tocca’s moisturizing scented body oils, and Colette is a gorgeous floral scent. It’s one of those products, that until you try it, you don’t realize it has been missing from your bathing routine. All of Tocca’s products would be a welcome addition to an Easter basket, but their Body Oil is such a nice surprise. It’s designed to be applied after bathing to soften, moisturize, and lightly scent your skin, but honestly, you can use it anytime you need a little softening or scent boost. The Colette Body Oil is designed to absorb into your skin, leaving the scent of florals and spice, musk and vanilla to enjoy throughout the day.
Writing Journals and Pens
Writing is becoming a lost art, and we still enjoy the thoughtfulness of putting a pen to paper. Whether you’re writing a note, keeping a daily journal or planning a project, Pen Heaven has a selection of writing materials that will please everyone, from kids to stationery enthusiasts. A couple of our favorite journal style books would be great for Easter. First, the Leuchtturm 1917 Hard Cover Medium Notebook which is fresh as Spring in the Rising Colors collection. The Leuchtturn1917 is a half sheet size hardcover notebook with 249 pages plus a Table of Contents page. It also has lined paper, two ribbon placeholders and self-adhesive archiving stickers. This beautiful journal is sewn, so it lies flat when open.
Our second choice is the Moleskin Large Hard Cover Notebook with lined or plain pages, perfect for keeping their writing in one place. This half size notebook has an expandable pocket inside to hold those extra pages, plus a ribbon bookmark to use as a placemarker. 196 pages that are great for any use from journaling, ideas, drawings or whatever the mood strikes. Pair either of the notebooks with the Pilot Frixion erasable pens, available in both ballpoint and rollerball models and in many colors. They erase by using friction and have a built-in tip for this purpose. Colors range from traditional blue and black to yellow, orange, and the rest of the rainbow.
Scout Bags
When is an Easter basket not a basket? When you deliver your goodies in either of these Scout Bags. We like the really bright and Springtime fresh prints Scout uses, and their designs are sized well – not too big or too small for the job. The Scout Ferris Cooler Lunch Box is insulated to help keep your food cold, and is the perfect size for a 5 pack of 12 oz cans. With its shoulder strap and top handle, you can carry it hands free until it is time to eat. Easy to clean inside and out for optimum usability. Scout’s prints are clean and brightly designed so you won’t lose your lunch box in a crowd.
Second up from Scout is their Sally Go Lightly Crossbody Bag. It’s the perfect size to take with you when you want to travel light – like to a concert, festival or hike. You can keep all your necessary stuff in here, and then toss your Sally Go Lightly bag into your larger bag when you need to carry more. The size is a roomy 6 x 8 inches. Sally Go Lightly Bag comes in the same great prints that Scout is known for.
Anne Klein Glamorous Oval Sunglasses
Every woman wants a pair of sunglasses that not only protect her eyes from the sun, but look absolutely fabulous while doing so. The Glamorous sunglasses from Anne Klein are the statement sunnies she needs for 2024. From the oversized pearly frames -complete with the Anne Klein logo – to the large oval dark brown lenses, this pair will have her decked out in comfort and style. No matter where she goes, this pair of ultra chic shades will keep her comfortable in style. The Glamorous Sunglasses are classically retro but thoroughly modern in design.
WHEW! With these items, there’s something for everyone, and they’re sure to love their fantastic Easter basket for adults.
