Last year, I wrote a post on 10 Clutter Free Easter Basket ideas. I wrote a companion piece for Catholic Mothers Online that went up a few days ago.
I am a gift giver – it’s one of my languages. I don’t fill like filling an Easter basket full of candy and junk though. I’m also a fan of making fancy gifts and presentation of stuff I’d buy them anyway. That being said, here are ten candy-free Easter basket ideas.
Please hop over to CatholicMothersOnline to read my Ten Candy-Free Easter Basket Ideas.
And, if you ARE looking for candy to put into the Easter baskets, have you heard of UNREAL yet? They sent me a box of samples around Halloween last year and due to my first trimester ick, I totally haven’t had a chance to mention them yet, but they were FABULOUS!
They don’t taste exactly like their mass market counterparts, but what product does? I would go so far as to say that the Snicker’s-like bar was better and they seem to be ever so slightly smaller, which is good if you ask me. Unless you normally share one like hubby and I do; then you will need your own. Darn :).
In addition to the yumminess, all UNREAL candy is:
- No corn syrup
- No hydrogenated oil
- No artificial flavors
- No GMO’s
- No synthetic colors
- Responsibly sourced ingredients, including:
- Traceable cacao beans from Ghana and Ecuador
- 100% sustainable and organic Palm Kernel Oil sourced from a sustainable and organic plantation in Brazil
- Dairy from free-range cows pasture raised without antibiotics or added hormones
- All natural origin colors, coming from plants like beets, red cabbage, etc.
- 30% less sugar, 60% more protein and 250% more fiber per serving on average compared to the leading competing brands
So not only are they super tasty, but they are better for you and you would even be making a moral statement by including them.
And don’t forget, you still have time to make this super easy Catholic Saint Holy Card Easter basket stuffer!
