EASTER BASKET GIFT GUIDE 2020

Just the strangest time for a holiday gift guide, but this was planned pre-outbreak so I’m following through. If you’re skipping Easter baskets this year - kuddos. We’ve got plenty of other priorities right now. If you’re doing them and you’d like to support some small shops at this time, read on for some ideas.

Spring themed/Easter Books. New releases by Candlewick Press:

Hoppy Floppy’s Carrot Hunt - with lift-the-flaps, based on a popular game similar to Sneaky Snacky Squirrel

Bathtime with Ducky Duckling - waterproof, great for the bath or high chair and wipeable

Follow Me, Flo! - predictable text, nice for language development

Hazel and Twig: The Lost Egg - beautiful and sweet little story of a lost egg

(Kind of a pool/beach/travel theme)

FloatSuits. On our recent trip to southern California we realized these UV FloatSuits (this print and this one) and the Go Splash Swim Vest are so much better than the “Puddle Jumpers” because they allow for natural arm movement, in the same motion as swimming.

Klean Kanteen water bottles. Our favorite, B corp, give back, reusable, insulated water bottles. This size is my favorite for preschoolers. (For me: this narrower size fits my diaper bag water bottle holder best and I pair it with the sport cap.)

Hooded towels (for bath or pool or swim lessons) - New by Copper Pearl. This print reminds me of our Disney trip and this one is cool enough that I want one.

CozyPhones - best travel headphones for kids. They stay on, and the sound doesn’t go too loud either which I like for hearing protection. Trey has these (big hit with four year old boys!) and Blaire has these.

CozyCase - turn your iPad or Tablet into a stand, or use as a headrest mount holder while in the car. Also great for a travel case and a place to store your CozyPhones. No more stacking books to hold our tablet up while we all try to watch a show!

Spring themed teethers for baby: Pastel Rainbow and Strawberry. So cute, and comes with a clip to keep off the floor.

Smaller basket fillers: egg shaped chalk (from target dollar spot long before closures), bubbles, art supplies, stickers, hair bows, nail polish, wind up toys, mini lego sets, face paint.

Happy almost Easter. It’s going to look so different this year, but we can still make it a good one.
