Easter will be here before we know it!  It’s time to start picking up things to add to the Easter baskets and eggs!  Are you ready?  This year, Josh is a little bit older so I wanted to something besides a traditional Easter Basket so I went on the hunt (haha, see what I did there?  Hunt?  Like an Easter egg hunt? … It’s the little things guys… LOL) I wanted some fun Easter basket ideas that were unique and really just some Easter basket alternatives.  There were so many ideas that I found that I just had to share with you all!

Just a hint before I share! My favorite place to pick up Easter basket items; well, anything really, is Kmart!  Kmart has both a grocery side and their traditional retail side (filled with clothes, toys, and everything home).  Their prices are always low and they have great options for saving big (including the Shop Your Way Rewards program).
