A collection of artisanal chocolates that’ll wow anyone.
A perfect gift for those who love to bake. Good-quality cinnamon is one of those things you wouldn’t buy yourself but would love to receive.
A light, fruity chocolate bar that’s perfect for the season—I love this lavender rose flavor. It’s probably one of the most beautiful chocolate bars I’ve seen.
A classic touch that never goes out of style. If you live near a Trader Joes, swing by to grab this chocolate bunny or their Easter Joe Joes.
Sample all of their flavors in one pack. We’ve been loving dates in the test kitchen as a sweet, unexpected treat and this brand has the cutest packaging.
A sweet and spicy spread that adds a fun twist to any Easter breakfast.
Sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with a nostalgic twist. These are great if you don’t feel like baking, but want to give the gift of homemade cookies.
A spicy, crunchy treat that adds flavor to anything.
For those who love adding heat to their dishes.
Sustainably sourced and perfect for a gourmet Easter snack. Their packaging is adorable and looks so cute in a gift basket. Plus, they just entered Costcos around the country!
A kitchen essential that brings an elevated flavor to any meal. I love Maldon and chances are if your friends are frequent cooks, they already have their classic flaky sea salt so surprise them with a different flavor.
A tangy, savory bite for the ultimate snack lover or dirty martini-obsessive.
Artisan pasta with a zesty kick. I love the idea of packing in a box of pasta—this one’s a fun shape and unexpected flavor.
A luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth ham for the discerning eater. Also a great pick for anyone who loves building charcuterie boards.
Keep things fresh with this hydrating, refreshing drink mix.
A sparkling, refreshing sip for those celebrating with bubbles. Plus, one of my favorite non-alcoholic wines I’ve tried this year.
For a caffeine boost in the most fun, cheeky way. I tried this syrup earlier this year and kept it in the back of my mind for the next time I was building a basket. It’s great in coffee, cocktails, or on top of ice cream.
A non-alcoholic option that brings zesty fun to any celebration. Also one of my favorite NA options as it’s not too sweet.
A ready-to-go cocktail for easy Easter sipping. I love their branding and this cosmo is the perfect spring vibe.
Okay, not a sipper, but perfect for the friend who loves to make their cocktails as beautiful as they are delicious. It also looks great sprinkled on frosted cakes and cookies.
One of my favorite cocktails (especially for spring) and this one’s pre-made. Tuck one in a basket and keep one for yourself.
