A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

I wish I could grow a glorious blooming garden. But thanks to my a) black thumb and b) lack of a patch of green space to call my own, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon. Unless someone presents me with this pretty Moonlit Garden Bulb Planter (hint, hint).

The easy-grows-it garden is filled with already-planted, just-sprouting hyacinth and tulips bulbs. The spring-colored blossoms are expected to bloom within a week or so of purchase—making it a delightful, lasting thank you gift or housewarming gift, especially for the gardening-challenged folks like myself. Happy spring!

Everybody knows somebody or somebody’s mom who’s obsessed with seasonal decorating. And everybody also knows somebody or somebody’s mom who’s obsessed with Thomas Kinkade. I’m not saying I understand it all, but I do know that these ladies would absolutely flip out over this Easter centerpiece. You can’t go wrong with fresh blooms surrounding a Thomas Kinkade inspired egg hunt. Send it to that somebody you know that's obsessed this Easter!

You don't have to wait till Halloween to dress your baby girl up in this darling little number. The Bunny Costume by Tutu Couture is too cute for Easter and adorable enough for anytime. She'll love hopping into the pink ballerina tutu with a puffy white tail. Slip on the puffy fur bunny ears, and she may never take them off. Good thing it works for dance class too!

The Pixie Princess costume is equally as adorable. Wrap one of these tutus up for your Girly Girl's birthday or stick one in her Easter basket.

I know I know, Croc shoes are huge these days, but why not give your little lad or lass these shamrock-green Children's Gator Sandal by Polliwalks instead? With the same comfortable fit and breathable design, they can stomp over land and water or chase any rainbow. But the unique thing about Polliwalks is that everywhere kids roam, their shoes will leave animal tracks behind! If gators aren't his or her thing, try a frog, duck or ladybug pair.

Just because babies can’t partake in egg hunts or devour chocolate bunnies doesn’t mean they don’t want something fun for Easter. So try thinking outside the basket with this adorb Bath Time Fun Gift.

The big pink bunny holds tons of entertaining bath toys in its mesh net, like three rubber duckies, a loofah, and other tub-worthy playthings. There’s also a soft plush bunny for when bath time is over and baby is dry. And even though it’s perfectly suited for Easter, it’ll thankfully last way longer than those colored eggs.

Need a gift idea? Need it fast? Here's a quick list of gifts we're loving this week.

For your favorite nephew: An Easter basket from Dylan's Candy Bar with all the important stuff–bunnies and chocolates.

For the kid-at-heart: Classic bunny slippers in adult sizes. (via Mighty Goods)

For your Easter hostess: A candy container shaped like an Easter bunny.

For a green Easter: Learn how to build the perfect eco-basket. (via Sprig)

For the littlest Easter bunny: A "Hippity Hop" gift set including a carrot-shaped rattle and a hat with bunny ears–awww!

Dad's miss out on all the Easter fun. They don’t get pretty new dresses or candy-laden baskets, and they usually get stuck hiding the eggs and carving the ham. This year, make Pops part of the (fun) festivities with a holiday-appropriate Bunny Crest Silk Tie from Psycho Bunny.

The handcrafted English tie is sure to have him looking his Sunday best, and the Psycho Bunny crest pattern (a clever play on the ever-popular skull and crossbones motif) has dapper written all over it. Any guy (not just your hubby or old man) will appreciate such stylish neckwear, on Easter and all year long.

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones which create a special moment with friends and family that everyone will remember years from now. The Easter Cookie Decorating Kit is one of those meaningful gifts that will help create memories that last. The kit comes with icing, sugars and little candies to make one-of-a-kind treats.

Your kids might not remember everything in their Easter basket this year, but I'm sure, years from now, they'll remember the afternoon they spent in the kitchen with you decorating this batch of one dozen Easter lemon cookies! And what better gift is there than that?

I had my share of pink plastic baskets and faux grass back in the day. But things have improved since then. This Easter, give these sweet Personalized Pink and Blue Bunny Baskets instead. The soft plush totes feature the face of a cute bunny and the most charming gingham ears (pink for girls, blue for boys, of course). There's even room for the child's name on one of the rabbit ears. They're the perfect thing to fill with cuddly toys and goodies like what you'll find in our Easter Gift Guide.

I always loved Easter so much when I was a kid, not just for the egg hunts and Easter baskets, but also for the pretty outfits I'd get to wear. The frilly dresses and white patent leather shoes made me feel like a little Easter princess and always marked the start of Spring. 

These days I'm too old to be an Easter princess, but that doesn't mean I don't get a kick out of seeing the next generation celebrate in all their frilly style. And I'm not just talking about kids! Dogs can get into the action now, too, with a funny bunny costume. In this adorable get-up, your little pooch will hop into everyone's heart this Easter!
