One thing’s certain: She’ll smile when this sweet “thinking of you” gift basket shows up on her doorstep. It’s laden with sweet sentiments, including a glass tea infuser, confetti cookies, tea, granola bites and a candle. Even better? Everything is tightly packed inside a darling basket that doubles as a purse.
I tested this basket and think it makes a sweet Easter surprise for mom, grandma or a long-distance BFF. While on the pricey side, every product is truly gourmet. The food finds especially go beyond basic grocery store fare. And they’re tasty, too. I ate the confetti cookies in one sitting—they’re that good!

Mac and cheese is a little too rich
If your pal can’t make it to Easter dinner due to either distance or illness, send a hearty meal to their door! This gift package from Spoonful of Comfort is loaded with a main dish, rolls, cookies and a ladle.
Choose from an array of comforting mains, including chicken noodle soup, beef chili or mac and cheese, and one of six wholesome cookie flavors. You can also add “extra care” items for an additional fee, such as tea, socks or a throw blanket.
KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME
I tested this care package and can confirm it hits the spot when you’re under the weather or missing home. My only complaint is that the mac and cheese was very saucy and rich. I wish it was a little lighter and had more noodles. But everything else was delicious and fresh, especially for a mail-order meal.
What To Consider When Buying an Easter Basket for Adults
- Interests: Before adding an adult Easter basket to your cart, ask: “What do they like?” Be sure to pick a themed gift that aligns with their lifestyle, dietary preferences and interests. If buying a food gift, keep allergies top of mind, too.
- Shipping and delivery: In 2025, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20. If sending an adult Easter basket directly to the recipient, be sure to choose a delivery speed that gets your gift there on time. If ordering a basket with alcohol, make sure someone will be home to sign for the delivery.
- Price: Adult Easter baskets run the gamut, from around $30 to well over $200. Before shopping, pick a budget—and be sure to factor in shipping costs, too.

FAQ
What do you put in an adult Easter basket?
If you’re skipping a premade version, stock your adult Easter basket with an assortment of goodies. Think—candy and snacks, beauty or grooming essentials, coffee and tea or adult beverages. You could also choose a theme you know they’ll love—such as baking, gardening, bartending or self-care—and pick coordinating items.
In 2025, there are a few adult Easter basket trends to consider, too. Consider adding a Stanley Quencher tumbler or Jellycat plush.
Do adults get Easter baskets?
They certainly can! Making an adult Easter basket for your partner, grown child or friend is a sweet way to show you care.
What are the most popular items in Easter baskets?
The go-to Easter treats of our childhood are just as popular among adults. You just can’t go wrong with nostalgic staples like jelly beans, Peeps, chocolate eggs and other seasonal candies. These saccharine treats are only enjoyed once a year, so you might as well go all out while you can!
What can I put in my Easter basket instead of candy?
If your loved one would prefer to ditch sweets in favor of more long-lasting gifts, there are plenty of other gift options to choose from. For smaller gifts, consider stickers, keychains or gift cards that will fit in an Easter egg (cash works great here, too!). If you’re putting together a larger basket, you can collect refills of their favorite fragrance or lip balm, artisan coffee or tea, seasonal candles or even fun stationery.
