Are you planning fun Easter baskets this year but don’t have the dough to do big, elaborate baskets? If you want something fun and unique unlike the ordinary store-bought, pre-filled baskets, why not consider making and stuffing your own baskets with whatever items you choose? Easter can be fun without spending a lot of money. Here are some cheap Easter basket ideas that you may consider for making your Easter baskets this year:

• Kids coloring basket- take a regular basket (you can pick them up cheaply) and add boxes of crayons, a coloring book and maybe pens and pencils.
• Handmade chocolate basket- Make up some homemade chocolates and add them to a small decorative basket to give to someone special this Easter.
• $1 Basket Items- Go to your local dollar store and pick up some small items that make great basket stuffers. You can choose items according to who you will be giving the basket to.
• Sports fan basket- Try filling a basket with small sports memorabilia items such as collectible cards and other inexpensive items.
• Cheese basket- Try putting different types and flavors of cheeses in a unique Easter gift basket for someone on your list.
• Homemade candle basket- You can create a collection of handmade candles for your Easter basket.
• Baby basket- If someone on your list is having a baby or has recently had a baby, consider an Easter basket full of small baby items such as soaps and shampoos, wipes and more.
