Whether you celebrate Easter religiously or not, the Sunday celebration will likely bring back childhood memories. If you can't make it back home this year, consider sending the grandparents a homemade Easter basket for old time's sake.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Easter Basket Grass
  • Easter Greeting Cards
  • Easter Baskets
  • Easter Candies
  • Chocolate Easter Eggs

Step1
Purchase a wicker Easter basket or plain basket - forgo the plastic baskets for the grandparents, and stick to the real thing.
Step2
Fill the bottom of the basket with dried straw or Easter grass, purchased from the grocery store or a gift-wrapping store. Or make your own (see Related eHows).
Step3
Place a homemade gift within the grass that will bring the grandparents joy - a framed photo of you and your siblings, mate or family; a candle you made; or homemade soaps in the shape of Easter eggs.
Step4
Consider baking cookies (in the shape of Easter eggs) or fudge cut into tiny squares, and placing those in the basket too.
Step5
Add chocolate eggs and jelly beans to the basket for an extra treat.
Step6
Write a letter as well, recounting a story of a past Easter you shared with them or simply telling them how much you love them. Stick it in the basket.
Step7
Decorate the basket with ribbons.
Step8
Find a box that will fit the basket without crushing it, and mail it in time for an Easter arrival.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make the basket as personal as possible - the point is to send your love, since you can't send yourself this year.
  • Avoid sending hard-boiled decorated eggs. Beautiful they may be, but consider the horror upon opening if they rot or break before they reach their destination.
