Easter is coming up, and I don’t know about you but I am super excited! Honestly, I had a rough few years after I moved out because this holiday just didn’t have that spark that it used to.
I didn’t get an easter basket anymore, no one had any kids for me to hide eggs for…it was just rough. This year I had a sudden realization: It is up to me to make my holidays magical now, and I can absolutely do it. So I ran to my boyfriend and declared, “We are making each other easter baskets!”
Apparently, he was already planning on surprising me with one, and I ruined the surprise a bit, but he was still excited. This sent me down quite the spiral path of boyfriend easter basket ideas. There honestly wasn’t much online that I could find, so I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas with you.
First up, I am going to include the things that I am going to fill my boyfriend’s easter basket with. So Anthony if you are reading this, TURN AWAY. The ideas below are pretty universal for boyfriends though, so feel free to steal my ideas.
1. Favorite Snack – You have to include their favorite snack! Whether it be a bag of their favorite chips, poptarts, jerky, you name it. You have to get really personal with this one otherwise it does not work.
2. Favorite Candy – Along with their favorite snack, you HAVE to include their favorite candy as well. In fact, add a bunch of their favorite candies. Go crazy with it. You have to fill that basket up somehow!
3. Favorite Drink – Whether this be beer(if you are of age) or their favorite soda, add a couple bottles to make the basket feel more complete.
4. New Socks – I don’t know about your boyfriend, but mine has a bit of an obsession with socks. Specifically, he love stance socks more than anything, so I will be including those.
5. New Video Game – Not everyone has a gamer boyfriend, but I know a lot of us do. I got him elden ring for his birthday and since then there has been such a game void in this mans life. I am going to find the next best one for him to obsess over.
6. Movie Tickets – This is nice because you get to benefit from it. My boyfriend and I make a point to always gift eachother at least one thing that we get to enjoy together.
7. Gift Cards – Choose his favorite places and add a few giftcards to the basket from them. Even if it’s just like 10 dollars. This is super fun!
8. Easter Themed Candy – There is going to be a lot of easter themed candy out, so this is your opportunity to cash in on it. My boyfriend loves any new version of Sour Patch Kids.
9. BIG Bag of Jerky – I added this as it’s own because jerky is SO EXPENSIVE. Getting a big bag of it is definately it’s own investment.
10. Video Game Controller – Of course I had to add a new contriller to this list. This can get pricey, but who cares? It’s the fun that counts!
Easter Baskets for Adults
Next up, I wanted to add a section that was specifically made for adults. These baskets are filled with some great ideas that I think your boyfriend will get a kick out of. Check it out!
11. Baked Goods – This is such a sweet idea. Whether you bake them yourself or if you buy them from a store, adding baked goods to your boyfriends basket is always going to be for the win.
12. Their Favorite Alcohol – Now, again this is only for those of you who are of age. If he has a favortie alcohol, add a bottle of it to his basket.
13. Scratch Off Tickets – This one is fun because he’ll have the opportunity to win even more money. The last time I surprised someone with a scratch off ticket they won $300!
14. Little Shooters – Since he’s an adult, it never hurts to add some of those little shooters that are by the register in the liqure store. They are cute and help the baskets feel a little more full.
15. Their Favorite Movie – I know we have so many streaming services now that this might sound stupid, but adding a physical copy of their favorite movie is always such a fun idea.
16. New Underwear – Yep, you can never go wrong with a fresh pair of underwear. This is a pretty funny idea, so expect a few laughs.
17. Energy Drinks – Everyone has a favorite energy drink, and I bet he will be so excited to have a few of his on deck. Whenever I have my favorite in stock at home I always feel like I have my life together.
18. Fish Supplies – If your boyfriend loves to go fishing then you should definately get him some tackle surprises. Whether it be some hooks that he’s been meaning to get or some weights. Whatever it is, you know he is going to love it.
19. New Tools – You get to beneifit from this one. Get him some new tools if you want to see him smile! This is only for the crafty guys out there though.
