I find myself in the same predicament every holiday. On one hand, gift-giving is one of my top love languages. It fills me with joy to put an assortment of cute little things together, like themed Easter baskets that will make my kids’ faces light up. On the other hand, I’m the most forgetful, type-B mom you’ll probably ever meet. I used to be better about remembering to plan ahead of holidays and special occasions, but the older my kids get, the busier my brain gets. Remembering all the things feels like a full-time job in itself. Truthfully, I planned to just opt out of the whole Easter basket fiasco this year—a totally valid decision for anyone contemplating it—but I found some great deals at my local CVS that I couldn’t pass up.
Browsing through CVS’s Easter collection online took me less than an hour, and they had everything ready for in-store pickup the same day. They have an endless selection of cute baskets, basket fillers under $10, and character toys—plus chocolate, candy, and egg decorating kits are BOGO 50% off until April 19! It was exactly the low-lift shopping experience I needed during this chaotic season of life. In solidarity with my fellow last-minute moms who are also understaffed and overwhelmed, I rounded up the best, affordable Easter basket picks for boys and girls below.
