I'm always looking for unique items to fill my kids's Easter baskets. Of course, now that their much older, I sometimes use a coffee club card. One year, I was so sick of pink bunnies that I bought stuffed animals that were beavers. They were so much fun and a big change from years of bunnies.
This year, we were able to get some kids needlepoint kits that are on #13 mesh -- they are really meant for the "tweens" and older kids. The colors are springlike and come with the wool. There's a really great Easter basket plus flowers and blue birds. The kits are a great way to introduce kids to needlepoint.
(And they do fill up the basket.)These kits are also great for trips.
