The Ultimate Luxury Easter Basket Guide: Impress Even the Pickiest Kids and Adults
I was blessed (or cursed, depending on how you see it) with a sibling-free life. That means no forced Easter egg hunts, no fighting over the biggest chocolate bunny, and most importantly, no existential dread over what to shove into a neon pink basket stuffed with more plastic grass than an ocean can handle. But now, as a fully functional (ish) adult, I find myself ensnared in the Easter basket industrial complex thanks to friends and cousins who have decided to be responsible members of society and reproduce.
And these kids? They’re fancy. Gone are the days when a Walgreens basket with a handful of foil-wrapped Hershey’s nuggets could cut it. No, these little connoisseurs expect Easter baskets that look like they belong in an unboxing video with soft jazz playing in the background. So, if you’re trying to maintain social clout while navigating this Easter madness, here’s my curated guide to making sure your basket doesn’t look like an afterthought.

Option 1: Pick an Easter Basket That Screams “I Have My Life Together”
We’re all busy. No one has time to spend hours hot-gluing artisanal moss to a wicker basket. If the pre-made route is your savior, embrace it. Otherwise, be prepared to tie ribbons until your fingers go numb.
For Adults: Harrod’s Picnic Basket – Because if you’re going to pretend you care about Easter, at least do it with a basket that doubles as a bougie brunch carrier.
For Kids: Odin Parker’s handcrafted Easter basket. Because these children deserve luxury, apparently.

Option 2: Fill Your Basket With Stuff That Makes People Think You’re Classy
High-End Chocolates (Because handing out basic candy is a crime in during these apocalyptic times)
Dominique Ansel (Yes, the guy behind the Cronut. Show some respect.)
Neuhaus (Belgian. Enough said.)
Jacques Torres (Aka Mr. Chocolate himself.)
La Maison du Chocolat (Fancy AF.)
Richart (For the person who eats chocolate with their pinky up.)
Vosges (Truffle game: strong.)
Pierre Marcolini (Because some kids only accept cocoa in its most refined form.)
Add Some Plush Toys That Look Like They Were Designed By A Scandinavian Minimalist
Or select one of their adorable Easter baskets
For the Overachieving Future Tech CEO Kid
Fat Brain Toys – Because some children can’t just enjoy a stuffed bunny; they need to be mentally stimulated at all times.
Now go forth and assemble your Easter baskets with the confidence of a Pinterest mom on her third espresso. Happy Easter, and may your chocolate be imported and your plastic grass biodegradable.
