Beach Themed Easter Baskets Filled With a Lot of Love

I have two children: a girl an a boy. These fun beach themed Easter baskets are from last year and they were filled with a lot of love!

For my little girl I did a beach themed Easter basket filled with all kind of little girlie things, such as:

Swimsuit
Kite
Candy
Sandals
False Nails

I think it would make a cute Easter basket idea for an older girl. You could also add sunscreen, coconut body spray, a beach towel, Sun-in hair lightener, sun tattoos and other fun beauty products.

Another idea like this for a teenage girl's beach themed Easter basket, I bought a clear shell salad bowl and put colorful grass with:

A bathing suit and other beach items
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Plastic Easter eggs filled with hair accessories
Chap stick
Thongs (flip-flops, that is)

...and of course I added some treats. Tied the beach basket up with clear cellophane and a beautiful bow.

Still sticking with the beach theme, instead of a traditional Easter basket, my son got a big Tonka truck for Easter (perfect for playing in the sand!) that was filled with:

Swim trunks
Kite
Motorcycles
Race cars
Candy
Other boyish things

I can't imagine a younger boy out there who wouldn't go nuts for an Easter basket like this. Of course, you've got to add some treats, too. Easter's not Easter without some candy!
