"So today we're going to be making some Easter baskets that are custom made for little girls. I'm going to make two different baskets for girls. One for an infant girl and then one for a little girl that's a little older with some older toys. There are obviously lots of choices out there in the store that are pre-made, but a lot of those are kind of impersonal and they have a lot of commercial products in there and also a lot of candy and a lot of fillers. So it really is kind of a nice thing to do at Easter, to pick up a basket and often times throughout the year we get gift baskets and it's good to keep those around and have them laying around for just this purpose. Then just pick out some things that are a little more customized for the little girl in your life. Fillers are very easy to find at the store. They're very inexpensive. You can buy some grass. I bought some green grass that's kind of made out of paper and then here's some pink grass that's a little shinier. You know either color for a girl is nice, sometimes if a girl's a little older she'll like pink if she's really in to the whole pink or purple thing, whatever. There are choices. If you happen to know her favorite color and they make the grass in it, go ahead and pick some of that up. For the baby one I'm going to go ahead and go with the generic grass and then I went ahead and picked up some items that are very well suited for a child, for a little baby. We're going to put them all in this basket. We're going to arrange them nicely and it's going to make a really great and special personalized gift for a little baby girl for Easter."
