Easter Bunny's Shopping List: 10 American Made Easter Basket Essentials

This year the Easter Bunny will be filling the Easter baskets in my house with only American made treats, and not because I have declared so. My kiddos have. “Mommy, I hope the Easter Bunny knows to get us ‘Made in the USA' things for our Easter basket,” said my daughter when we were running errands yesterday. “Yeah, he needs to get all the kids ‘Made in the USA' stuff!!!” added her brother.

Chanel Craft had the best toys — jacks, dominos, tiddlywinks — and the cutest tins!

Thank you Thank you Thank you! No crappy plastic stuff made in the Far East in our baskets this year!

These are great resources for quality Easter things, I love the herbal animals!

Laura Fukushima on April 2, 2014 at 4:33 pm

Thanks for the suggestions! I’d like to add a couple more. Last year we used the buckets from greentoys.com in lieu of baskets. They’re probably too small for older kids, but great for the toddler set. Also, we filled our eggs with Annie’s cheddar bunny and bunny graham crackers.

Great ideas Laura! Thanks for sharing!

Great article, some of the products (like SurfSweets organic jellybeans) can be found in The Sweet Kit Easter Kits that are offered at http://www.TheSweetKit.com! All the sweets are GMO-free, gluten-free, and free of chemical dyes. It’s super tasty, exactly what is needed for an Easter basket, all with just one-click.

Tracey Hanson on April 6, 2014 at 9:58 pm

Thanks for the tip Sas! Is all of the candy in the Easter Kits made in the USA?
