Small Shop Gender Neutral Easter Basket

Easter is quickly approuching so I wanted to share our simple small shop Easter basket! This basket is great for both boys and girls ages 3-6 years old. You all know how much I love small shops so I worked with some of my favorite brands to put together a perfect little basket that any young child will love.

Over the last couple of years, I have been working on becoming more and more conscious with my gift-giving, especially for my son. With many toys made to last only a short time, I now gravitate towards more handmade toys and educational items. They usually last much longer and you are investing in products that can be handed down for generations! Supporting small businesses is also extremely rewarding. Knowing you are helping another person grow their business and possibly support their own families, is just amazing.

Fiddlestix Candy Co. is local to me here in Montana and I just adore her creative and unique lolipops! You can order a set of 6 Easter lollipops with your child’s name on them! I can’t wait to see how excited my son is to see his name on candy!

Why buy cheap plastic eggs when you can buy gorgeous wood eggs that will last year after year? These hollow eggs are from RVA Naturals and this one even came with a little surprise! I love the idea of filling the eggs with small trinkets and toys instead of just candy. This tiny fairy dust jar on a ribbon is just too cute.

Here I added a little wooden mouse from Toys By Anthony in the egg.

Our favorite handmade wooden toy animals are from Toys By Anthony. Anthony is so incredibly talented and really puts his heart into his work. For the Easter basket we switched it up and skipped the typical bunnies and chicks (though those are adorable too!) and went with the balancing mice on cheese and a simple wood cat. These mice can be stacked and balanced several different ways and will be a perfect restaurant toy. (They also fit in eggs so you can add them to your egg hunt!)

Earth Grown Crayons are my son’s favorite crayons. Handmade with soy and earth-friendly ingredients, these are perfect for Easter baskets, party favors, and road-trips. My son loves all the fun shapes and the crayon pigment is so high quality. We did a mix of the bug shape and the forest animals in the basket.


This fabulous children’s picture book is written and illustrated by one of my dear friends Marina Galasso! She has two published books that are truly amazing. Both share a positive message about being kind to everyone and that each child can make a difference in making our world a better place. You can even watch her read the book on YouTube to see just how sweet it is. To order your own signed copy, email Marina at aquamarina4@aol.com and make sure you let her know I sent ya!


For the green grass filler, I first laid some old green crinkle paper from last year, and then on top I stuck in several stems of green trixx that I got at the floral shop I work at. You could use moss or something similar instead. I just love the natural texture of this. It makes it so special and fun! I also added in a daffodil for a little more color and another natural texture.

What a cutie 🀍 

Theodore woke up with a high fever today and for about 12 hours he was super lethargic and weak and just wanted to be held. Then he finally started to move around a bit tonight and even played ! Thank the Lord πŸ™

The moving truck comes tomorrow and we have a LOT to do still.😬 Having a super sick baby was not ideal today but I'm just so happy he's doing better. Hopefully by tomorrow he will be back to his smiley wild self. 

I still can't believe that bright and early Saturday morning we will be leaving Montana and headed 2,586 miles East πŸ₯΄. 
This doesn't even feel real.

Theo is an animal lover like me! And this kitten a Theo is an animal lover like me! And this kitten adores Theodore. He'll fall asleep on his lap and let him be carried around in not so comfortable positions πŸ˜†
They're best buds!

We walked over to the chicken coop the other day and Theo was looking all around for the hens. πŸ˜” At least he still has Bowie and Copper to love on. 

I so wish we could bring these kitties with us, but we really can't. I still need a home for these 2 sweet boys if anyone local needs an outdoor or indoor pet to love on. ❀️

Saying goodbye is so hard 😒 We stopped by to s Saying goodbye is so hard 😒  We stopped by to see our amazing neighbors from our old house in Whitefish, walked through the forest that is so dear to us one last time, looked over the gate at our old house, and gave lots of hugs to the folks that welcomed us to MT with open arms, were our #1 support system, loved on our family & reminded me just how much Jesus loves me. 
I fully believe this family was one of the reasons God guided us to Montana. 
We are sad to say goodbye, but like Aaron reminded us last night, cowboys don't say goodbye they say "see ya later partner"

The more we get rid of, the lighter I feel! I'm trying to be intentional & organized with this move, all with a quickly approaching move date and a very active & mobile baby. πŸ€ͺ

Some stuff is going into storage there, some to the rental house. We are trying to gage what can fit in the trailer and what will not. We have a pile of "maybes" that we'd like to take with but don't have to. 
I've gotten rid of more than half of my craft supplies, house decor, & seasonal decor. I donated bags & bags of clothes. I got rid of all the plates and flatware I didn't really enjoy, lots of furniture, kids toys, and snow gear. 
We are moving from a 4200 sq ft house into a 1200 sq ft cottage with no garage or basement... and storage units are very expensive and hard to find where we're moving!😬 So we are definitely downsizing πŸ˜„
