Who says Easter baskets are only for kids? Okay, probably everyone says that but there's nothing wrong with making a few fun baskets for friends. The monochromatic gift vibe is in but it doesn't need to be expensive to curate. Almost all of these items are from Dollar Tree!

Monochromatic Easter Baskets

Before I continue, let me just say this: GIFTS DO NOT NEED TO BE EXPENSIVE. Gifts should be thoughtful. Gifts should be given within your means. In fact, gifts do not need to be given at all. This is something I preach to my children as well. Gifts are very nice but they are not to be expected. People's presence can be a gift. A card can be a gift. The list goes on and on. I don't know if it's all the extravagant gifts I've been seeing on Tiktok or what but - phew, okay. Got this off my chest. Carrying on.

What's in the baskets?

  • Baskets / Target ($1) We re-use these for the Easter Egg Hunt we have every year!
  • SpaScentials Face Masks / Dollar Tree ($1.25)
  • Hair Claws / Dollar Tree ($1.25)
  • Peeps / Dollar Tree ($1.25)
  • Seed Pops / Target ($5.99) / The splurge of the basket and honestly, they weren't a must-have.
  • Olipops / Target ($2.99) / SO many flavors to choose from.
  • Stuffy keychains / Target ($6.99) / Another splurge and another item that you could go without.
  • E.L.F. Lipgloss / Target ($4.99) / My daughter LOVES these!
  • Hand Sanitizers / Dollar Tree ($1.25)

Let me know if you make one of these!
