Beyond candy and toys: Easter basket ideas under $15

Easter is right around the corner and we thought we’d round up a few last minute ideas to add to baskets that will also double as things that will keep your kids occupied while home from school. We’ve listed a combination of places to shop online that are local favorites that are delivering or offering curbside pickup as well as Amazon Prime deals!

Shop locally online:
Child’s Play is delivering however you schedule a date online and the earliest isn’t until after Easter. It’s worth calling them to find out they have any availability however if you want to shop local. Sullivan’s is also delivering!

Three Littles is a local kids shop {with some great items for adults too} which was based in Union Market and is offering free local delivery.

Periwinkle is my go-to store in NW, DC for chocolates and great housewarming gifts as well as a great kids section. They don’t have a great ‘shop online’ section but if you call they can tell you what they have.

Add gift certificates to local places into baskets. Most places allow for you to order them online!

Amazon 2-day delivery with Prime ideas:
Sidewalk chalk eggs, unicorn horn chalk and walkie chalk stand-up tool which looks amazing
How to draw animals book
Watercolor paints
Crayola markers and Twistable silly scent crayons
Kids sketch book
On-the-go origami animal set
Unicorn stickers
Play doh and Model magic
Vintage baseball cards and current baseball cards
Hula hoop
Little Kids First Big Book of Why
Jump rope
Mr. Wolf’s Class book #3
