Handmade Easter Basket Gifts

If you’re looking for ideas for handmade Easter basket gifts, look no further! This post includes Easter-themed freebies and inspiration from plush crochet patterns like bunnies and chickens, to hand-painted peg doll tutorials and fillable embroidered eggs!

I’ve teamed up with my friend Lindi at Blythe House 1860, who creates beautiful handmade designs. Together we’ve come up with unique handmade Easter basket gift ideas that are both fun and practical.

The Story Behind the Collab

Lindi has been a good friend of mine for many years. We both come from artistic backgrounds and have worked together many times on creative projects. I’ve always loved Lindi’s style and her gorgeous timeless designs. We decided to spend an afternoon in her gorgeous farmhouse to put together some Easter baskets with some of our favourite handmade pieces!

Memorable Easter Gifting

Easter is the perfect time to give meaningful, handmade gifts that celebrate the season and the joy of giving. I love the idea of creating memorable Easter baskets with gifts that encourage imaginative play and will be treasured long after the holiday is over.

Happy making!
