Easter is time to get creative. When it comes to the pastel-themed holiday, it doesn’t only have to mean fun for the kids.
There are Easter gifts perfect for every person in your life, no matter what the age, and the gifts can all be homemade and from the heart. Not that candy and Peeps aren’t deliciously fun, but when your gift is well thought out, it means that much more to the person you’re giving it to.

Consider the people in your life and the things they enjoy most. If you want to go a traditional route, bake a carrot cake or decorate a homemade card to deliver some Easter cheer.
If you want to go the extra step in your gift giving, you can start with personalized Easter baskets and then focus on a few themes that are relevant to the recipient.
Easter Gifts for the Whole Family
For the beauty lover:
Mix and match samples of pastel-colored eye shadows, lip colors, or nail polishes to put into an Easter basket. Add in a couple of makeup brushes, single-use beauty masks, and other bath and beauty products and you have the perfect Easter present that any beauty enthusiast will love and be excited to put to use.
Pastel colors are perfect for a spring time look that can be worn all season long. Also consider perfume in a floral or lilac scent that is reminiscent of spring.
For the dog lover:
Add a dog bone, small toys, and different doggie treats that the recipient can share with their furry friend. A new dog collar or leash makes for a good gift as well. For fun, you can buy your dog-loving friend or family member a rabbit ears headband to put on their pup and take pictures in the park. There’s no reason why canine friends can’t enjoy Easter, too!
For the food lover:
Make cookies in a jar! Simply pour the dry ingredients into the jar and attach the recipe. Mason jar gift ideas are endless, so there’s sure to be one to delight any friend or family member that you may choose.
For the new mom:
Roll up some adorable onesies for her new little bundle, or pamper her with a Kate Spade Journal to record all her favorite moments. Another great gift is a keepsake to honor her new role as a mother. Gifts for mom, especially the new mom, are a great way to wish Mom a happy Easter.
For the movie lover:
For the person who loves all things relating to film, pick out a popular new release DVD or opt for a classic and add in a bucket of microwaveable popcorn and movie-sized candy. This will be a hit for a movie night at home, or swap out the DVD for a pair of movie tickets for a night at the movie theater. Whatever the case may be, all the movie essentials will be in one goodie basket.
Personalized Easter baskets add that extra special touch for the person receiving them. Creating them doesn’t have to be expensive and can be individualized to match the personality of each person on your Easter list.
Of course, it’s always a great idea to sneak in a few chocolate eggs or jelly beans to whatever gift baskets you put together, but the thoughtfulness of the personalized gifts is a fun twist for the holiday.
