I have a few little ones in my life and being the great aunt that I am I wanted to get them a few Easter treats when we visited the homeland last weekend but I have to say the Easter aisle of Tesco (other supermarkets are available) didn't really call to me.
A sneaky visit to Aldi and after finding a few supplies I was inspired to make these extra cute Easter baskets full of Easter goodies which in my opinion are far better than a really commercial Easter egg.
These buckets were 99p each and I thought the kids would get to use these again for their egg hunts this weekend.
Next it was for the chocolate treats. I just love all of the bright colours.
The center piece was the chocolate rabbit a total rip off of the more expensive version but only 75p!
Look how cute...
I have a roll of cellophane that probably cost a couple of quid from eBay which I got before Christmas a couple of years ago. I think wrapping up gifts in this always makes them look so much more professional and like you have put a lot of effort into your wrapping when really it is so easy.
I found these cute little tags after searching for 'free Easter printables'.
Here is the finished product. Super easy, super cheap coming in at around £3.00 each and way more personal than any prepacked chocolate egg. I can assure you the little ones loved them as well.
Happy Easter and I hope that the Easter bunny has visited you.
I wish I had an Aldi near me, those non-Easter egg buckets would be super cute for all sorts of things.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with them and how inexpensive it was to do something unique!
Hi Lisa
DeleteThanks for your comment. I couldn't believe how inexpensive they were to make and your right I should have picked up a few extras as they would be great for growing herbs or little plants in as well or for holding make up brushes on my dressing table!
