Most Easter baskets are made with kids in mind. They’re packed with classic treats and trinkets: candy, plastic eggs, cheap chocolate bunnies, toys that break by Monday. So what to do if you want to buy an Easter basket for an adult in your life?
Here at Gourmet Gift Baskets, we have options. Gourmet baked goods instead of candy. Fresh fruit instead of jelly beans. Champagne instead of more candy. Read on to discover our 12 most popular Easter baskets for adults, and let us guide you through finding the perfect one.
How to Pick the Perfect Easter Basket
Not sure which basket is right? The main attraction of any Easter basket is the food, so the first question is - what does your recipient like to eat?
Are they a chocoholic, or do they prefer fruity or baked treats? Are they watching their waistline or sugar content? Pick a basket that’s something they’d actually be excited to eat.
Beyond the foods included, it’s important to think about context.
Are you presenting this basket at Easter brunch? The baked goods tower or fruit basket works well because it can be set out for everyone.
Are you planning to surprise your significant other? The champagne and chocolates basket is perfect for an intimate Easter celebration.
Need a casual gift for a friend or coworker? The popcorn or Oreos packages are great for when you want to show you’re thinking of them without breaking the bank.
Budget matters too. The popcorn and Oreo options run $40-45, which are suitable for most situations. Most of the chocolate and baked goods baskets are priced between $55-90. The champagne basket at $130 is the premium option when you want to spend more.
With all that in mind, let’s take a look at the options.
