I went to the Dollar Tree recently and was really impressed with the Dollar Tree Easter products they had to offer. You can find basket goodies for just about anyone on your list!
You can really get the best products at the Dollar Tree!
I thought it would be fun to put together some ideas for different types of baskets you might be putting together. Whether it is for your own kids, your spouse, a friend or a neighbor- there are endless possibilities!

First of all, their Easter basket selection is pretty good! They might not be the largest in size but they are all darling and can definitely fit a lot of items.
They typically have a great selection in store – but you can always go online as well if you’d rather. This is a good option if you need to buy in bulk – you can browse that selection here.

What to Put in an Easter Basket
So what should you even put in an Easter basket?! There’s always a lot of debate on what you should do – and really, it’s up to you to decide how much or little you want to do for your family members.
We try to keep things pretty simple around our house (hence why the Dollar Tree is our go-to spot!). I don’t think you have to spend a lot of money for a fun gift.
Here are some $1 Stuffer Ideas that you can almost always find at the Dollar Tree.
- Plastic easter eggs – The Dollar Tree has so many styles. You can stuff these with jelly beans, little pieces of candy, etc.
- Candy – there are so many different kinds of Easter candy – jelly beans, chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, peeps…definitely one of the best places to get candy, I think!

Love your Dollar Tree posts! We have one right by our house, and I never thought to check it out until I read one of your posts. I found some great stuff for my son’s birthday party and paid much less than if I had bought it elsewhere. Thanks for the great ideas!!
