Easter is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, an Easter hunt followed by a basket full of goodies is a treasured tradition. When putting together a basket for my daughter, I’m always looking for quality, handmade items that will last.
I’ve rounded up a few of my favourite handmade items that would make the perfect fit for your child’s Easter basket.

Nothing makes the house feel ready for spring like a little decor! The Wander Nest makes beautiful felt decor items to tastefully add a splash of colour to your child’s bedroom or playspace. Her spring decor features garlands with carrots, bunnies and swoon-worthy rainbows.

| Jars by Jodi |
I love giving my daughter gifts that will lead to quality time together. Jars my Jodi is one of my absolute favourites because her mixes are delicious, easy to follow, and make the perfect way to spend time together with my child. Her Easter collection features popular favourites like “Mini Egg Cookies” and “Unicorn Poop”.

| Loop and Fray |
Loop and Fray Design Co makes stunning macrame pieces that you’ll want in every room of your home. Her rainbow wall hanging comes in a trio of beautiful pastels that you’ll love as much as your little one.

| AW & Co. |
AW and Co makes timeless, stunning wooden toys that you’ll want to pass down from one child to the next. While their Easter-specific items went fast (like, really fast!), they have an amazing selection of year-round toys that would make the perfect addition to your child’s Easter basket.

| Clara Cecilia Design |
Clara’s Affirmation Alphabet is not only beautifully designed down to the last detail, but also teaches your child positive attributes to describe themselves and others. This creative twist on traditional alphabets is available in two sizes of posters or as a flashcard set so your child can bring it from room to room as they learn.

| Babes + Blends |
When it comes to choosing gifts for my daughter, I love to mix in seasonal items with items that will come in handy all year. The Bye Bye Monster Spray by Babes and Blends is a great way to ease your child’s worries at night and soothe them with the calming characteristics of lavender and chamomile essential oils.

| Handmade by Annah |
This adorable felt headband is the perfect way to get your little one in the spring spirit! Annah has a great selection available on her online store, including these sweet accessories. They come on a soft nylon headband so your little one will love wearing them!
Whether you opt for season-specific treats, or practical items, choosing items that have been handmade by small Canadian shops ensures that you’ll get a quality, one-of-a-kind item that your child will treasure.
