Fun and Cheerful Catholic Easter Basket Ideas

This post contains affiliate or associate links with several businesses (which means if you shop through the links, I earn a small commission). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I’m starting to get excited about what I’m putting in my children’s Easter baskets, and I really want to share my awesome find with you!

Some of these gifts are great to give Godchildren, nieces and nephews that you gather with on Easter Sunday too!

I love so many gifts that I divided them into 3 categories:

  1. Catholic Books (includes coloring books, journals, fiction, non-fiction, picture books, etc.)
  2. Toys – The Holy Spirit is truly inspiring creative Catholics, these gifts are so fun! Some are priced low, others are more of an investment. All of them deserve 5 STARS!
  3. Candy – I mean, it is an Easter Basket.

I am leaving out apparel and jewelry for this one. So, this is geared more for children. If you are looking for gifts under age 3, make sure you check out Catholic Easter Basket Ideas for Babies and Toddlers.

Catholic Books are perfect for Easter Baskets

My 4 year old daughter will be getting a Shining Lights Coloring Book and God the Father and the Best Day Ever by Gracie Jagla!

We already have Lily Lolek, Future Saint – but if you don’t, this is a great Easter Basket Book!

My 4-year-old son is getting The Beggar and the Bluebird

We love are Listening for God and this book is so great for pre-schoolers – if you don’t have it, it’s a great Easter gift book!

9 year old son: ACTION BIBLE

(He’s been using Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Boys this Lent – another great Easter basket stuffer for boys 9 to 13!)

This has been a sweet bonding experience for my son and I. If you are trying to get up early to pray, inviting your son to join you with this book is really a beautiful way to grow in holiness together!

I love the coloring book HAPPY EASTER COLORING PAGES! We have gotten this before and would order over and over again! You can even order the downloadable/print yourself version on Etsy!

For readers in grades 2 – 5 . . .we love the Sisters of the Last Straw books!

Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls is a great Easter Basket gift for young ladies ages 9 through 14. In fact, one mother wrote a review on Amazon that states:

“I got this for my 10 yr old daughter’s Easter basket. She immediately was attracted to it. Later, she came to me and said that it was her favorite item in her basket. . . .”

Catholic Toys that are Modern and Relevant

All 3 of my children are getting Slap Bracelets from No Heart Untouched!





These Catholic Slap bracelets are such a fun way to show the faith! I have a feeling my 3 children will be slapping them on all day. I’ll have to make a rule that they can only slap them on themselves – but I am sure they will all enjoy them!!! I ordered an extra one for my Goddaughter too!

Saintly Heart has a brand new Easter playset!

My daughter loves temporary tattoos, and Saintly Heart also has a special Easter tattoo pack!

Shining Light Dolls have these adorable “stuffies” that not only make for great play but decorate a bedroom with grace and style. My 4 year old twins play with “stuffies” all the time. I’m happy to add our faith to the mix!

My 4 year-old son is getting the new Catholic Church Alpha-Wet Water Reveal Cards.

These paint with water cards and books have always been popular in our house – with both sons! I’m excited to give this new product this year.

I’m ordering the mini Mary and Joseph doll – possibly several!

The original Shining Light Dolls are great for toddlers and babies because they are safe and unique.

We’ve been slowly building to our wooden block collection with these beautiful blocks from Almond Rod Toys.

When we pray a family Rosary, we let our 4 year olds color or play with blocks. With each holiday we’ve added a few more religious blocks and I love seeing that Almond Rod Toys makes blocks with each Mystery of the Rosary illustrated and described. Getting just one decade is an option – or even Stations of the Cross blocks!

Chocolate Candy Made With Prayer

Instead of getting a big chocolate bunny from a local store, order these BIG Chocolate Bunny Pops made with love and prayer from the Trappistine Quality Candy nuns!

The Nuns of Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey run this candy making industry so they can support themselves and share with the poor. This work also supports the communal life, giving the Sisters the opportunity to work together for the common good. Through both prayer and effort, community members regardless of age can actively participate in this ‘labor of love’.

And I might add, the chocolate does taste heavenly!

Catholic Baby Easter Baskets

If you are looking for ideas for babies and toddlers, I just wrote this post over at Catholics Online!

So many cute options!!!

    Wow really makes me wish I could go back and raise my girls all over again! What wonderful Easter baskets! Thank you for such great ideas and links. I love the Sisters of the Last Straw (even being a grandma) and catch their adventures whenever I can. Thank you!

We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . . Why? Well b We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . .

Why?  Well because I could not watch yet another episode of America's Funniest Home Videos (now called AFV or as my 5 year old son calls it "epic fails").

I will be honest with you, I watched the first episode years ago and thought, "this is boring".

But I kept hearing about it and all I heard were positive things.

I watched Season 2 begin Live on Facebook, and I did like it - but I didn't watch any more than those two LIVE episodes that I can remember.

I have been wanting to watch it, but just couldn’t find the motivation- then I thought I would enjoy it more if my husband and I watched it together. 
Then thought, this is the perfect show to watch as a family!

When I was growing up, there were certain nights we all watched the same show:
The Dukes of Hazard
Family Ties, Growing Pains, and dare I say it - The Cosby Show?
My younger siblings would watch what was known as TGIF - Full House and Family Matters

Today, we have way to many choices.  Everyone wants a turn to pick a show.
This show, The Chosen, is bringing us together as a family.

My 5 year old asks, "Can we watch The Chosen tonight?"
My 10 year old says he doesn't like it . . .then he scoots up next to me and says he actually does like it.

My daughter falls asleep on my lap while we watch it.

And I'm happy to report, I've laughed out loud a few times!  I'm also looking forward to watching it again with my family (we sit down a couple times a week to watch an episode!)

Have you watched it?  Tell us in the comments!

Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggl Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggling with infertility:

🌹 lots of novenas to Saint Therese’
✏️ many letters to God in my journal… some addresses to Jesus, some to Our Loving Father… others, I can’t recall. Lots of pouring my heart out.
📝 Letters to Saints… I remember writing to Saint Nicholas… patron Saint of children and honestly, infertility is extra heavy around Christmas… so many dreams would feel out of reach. My heart believes in miracles and treasures memories of jolly old Saint Nick… it just made sense to me.
📿 many Rosaries with friends 
And one more thing that I can recall at this moment…
A written description of the children I envisioned being mine.
There were 3.
One loved science. One had a very special bond with my brother. I don’t recall being specific about boys v girls.
But I described them.
Maybe that was how I surrendered my prayer to God.
If you are struggling with infertility… never give up on prayer.

There’s a beautiful song you might have heard ti There’s a beautiful song you might have heard titled In Jesus Name (God of Possible)
This song was created from an entry in Katy Nichole's prayer journal!
It has gone on to impact millions of people worldwide, and that number continues to grow every day!

I highly recommend listening to this song… and maybe even writing part of the words - if not all- in your prayer journal.

I had to share this with you! Please give prayer journaling a try… God only know what beautiful words and melodies will be revealed to you!

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name

I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name, in Jesus name

I speak the name of all authority
Declaring blessings, every promise
He is faithful to keep
I speak the name no grave could ever hold
He is greater, He is stronger
He's the God of possible

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name
I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name
In Jesus name

Come believe it
Come receive it
Oh, the power of His Spirit is now forever yours
Come believe it
Come receive it
In the mighty name of Jesus, all things are possible
I pray for your healing
That circumstances will change
I pray that the fear inside will flee in Jesus name
