My daughter's first Easter, her basket was borderline over-the-top. The grandparents also spoiled her - and each year, we become more intentional with her basket. When my son came along, his first Easter basket was full of practical items. The most important factor when filling your child's first Easter basket - fill it with happiness, and only you know what that encompasses.
If you are shopping this guide for your grandchild, niece, nephew, best friend's child - my biggest suggestion is following the parent's lifestyle. If the child has a specific diet, now is not the time to suggest new foods are introduced. Take note of toy or color choices - what will hold the most meaning is showing the parents that you respect and understand the parenting decisions and style.

Once Upon A Farm
My kids have always loved the products from Once Upon A Farm - and I feel good about the ingredients. The products do need to be refrigerated, so if you plan on traveling or needing to leave the basket out for a period of time - consider a subscription as a gift within the basket.
Baby Bellies
With plenty of options, these organic snacks are ideal options for baby's Easter Basket. Amazon has a wonderful option to subscribe and save so baby has delicious treats delivered long after the holiday is over.

Wooden Stacking Rings
Beautiful colors that are gender-neutral. These stacking rings are durable and can be used for multiple children. My kids like to pretend these are "donuts" in a play kitchen, so they will age really well. The best gifts with toys are ones that last.
Sensory Toy
If it isn't obvious by now - I like to suggest gifts that are practical. Something that can be used in the home, in the car, or on a flight. This is another toy that will age well - I've watched children from 8 months through 5 years old enjoy this toy.
Sand Toys
Even if you don't live by a body of water or have a vacation planned in the next year - these toys are a wonderful option for your Easter Basket. Fill a sensory bin, find a local park with sand, or build your own sandbox because you have the perfect toys for the occasion.
