I saw one of these fancy Easter baskets by chance, and now am dazzled by the idea that grown-ups can have Easter baskets too, with excellent fancy chocolate instead of the “chocolate-flavored candy” kind.
Godiva Enchanted Easter Basket (photo from Godiva.com), $85 with free shipping if you use code BUNNY.
See’s Deluxe Easter Basket (photo from Sees.com), $59.50 plus shipping, which they call the “Extra Large Family Basket” but I changed the name because I don’t want any lip about how many people ought to be sharing it.
Lindt Somebunny Special Basket (photo from Lindt.com), $48 plus shipping—or if you add in a few end-of-year teacher gifts and/or Mother’s Day gifts and get it past $75, you can use the code BUNNY11 to get free shipping.
Russell Stover Easter Indulgence Basket (photo from RussellStover.com), shown/linked in green, but you can also get it in pink, blue, or yellow. It’s on sale right now from $29.99 down to $23.99—which is almost too bad, because it’s free shipping for orders over $25. But if you add in a few strawberry cream eggs or some bunny money, you can get over $25 easily enough.
Harry and David Cabbage Basket (photo from HarryAndDavid.com), $39.95 plus shipping. It is a crying shame that the peas-and-carrots candies aren’t available after all, but I grudgingly admit gummy butterflies is a pretty good substitute. They’d be so cute with the ladybug.
Why OF COURSE adults should receive some Easter bounty! In my home growing up (and still today, of course!) the Easter bunny creates an Easter display of grass and candy on the buffet or dining room table for all the adults to share and enjoy. These are also QUITE lovely!

If you’re willing to order from a British site (and no, I have no stakes in the company, I just love the stuff and order it (I’m in France) for my two girls), check out the lovely stuff at http://www.boden.co.uk...
