From 2013 to 2014, purchases of Easter Baskets doubled at GourmetGiftBaskets.com. And the company expects sales will be 25% higher by the end of the season. (As an aside, Grandparents are fueling this trend by sending baskets to their grandkids, especially those who live far away).
The No. 1, best-selling Easter basket (so far this year) is the Double-Bunny Easter Basket for $109.99, as it’s great for the average American family with two kids.
Each kid gets a bunny and there are plenty of snacks and other treats for the two of them to share. Snacks include a Chocolate Bunny, Peeps, M&Ms, Twizzlers, Laffy Taffy, Confetti Popcorn, Jawbreakers, Smarties and more. This basket also contains Three Frisbees.
For the first time this year, Gourmet Gift Baskets is offering 12-inch Easter Cookie Cakes — one with a baby bunny on it and another with a flower. They will retail for $34.99 and just landed on the site yesterday. We totally loved ours! The kids (and Bill) couldn't help breaking off a piece of it every time they walked past it!
Dozens of other gifts are available, too, starting at $24.99. Here are a few of the most popular ones:
Hippity Hoppity , $29.99
Easter Classic , $39.99
Happy Easter Gift Tower , $49.99
Easter Care Package , $49.99
Easter Sweets & Treats , $59.99
Easter Candy & Toys , $79.99
They definitely have something for everyone for Easter!
