3 Simple Steps to a Perfect Easter Basket
The days are longer, the grass is greener, and Easter is just around the corner. This year, make everybunny's Easter extra special with eco-friendly handcrafted Easter baskets! When you fill Easter gift baskets with fair trade eggs, bunnies and chocolate, global artisans and farmers earn vital income and gain access to health care, education, and more.
Spring into this season of peace and hope with our 3 Easter basket must-haves, featuring fair trade favorites from around the world.
1. Handcrafted Eggs
People have been decorating Easter eggs since the 13th century, and every year, our artisan partners pair this ages-old practice with traditional handcrafting techniques. The result is one-of-a-kind beauty, and the world's most unique Easter eggs. Even better, all our Easter eggs are eco-friendly, handmade with sustainable materials such as recycled paper and wood.
Quilled Paper Eggs
These popular little eggs have a lot of wow, and artisans in Vietnam hand quill each one, earning fair wages while they do! Their handmade wooden eggs are covered with colorful strips of paper that are tightly coiled and glued to create incredible patterns and details. Pick up a set of Spring Radiance Quilled Eggs featuring bright spring colors and patterns, or our Quilled Butterfly Eggs which are perfect for bringing our favorite high flyers to your home.

Kashmiri Painted Eggs
What happens when you combine wooden eggs, hand painting, and papier mache? You get beautiful eco-friendly hand-painted Easter eggs from India! Artisans in Kashmir layer papier mache made from recycled paper over sustainable badloo wood eggs, then hand paint each one in brilliant colors and remarkable designs. Our Daisy Kashmiri Eggs are one of our most popular Easter egg sets, and feature floral designs on mini wooden eggs. We carry half a dozen Kashmiri egg sets, all hand painted with cheerful spring florals and exquisite detail. We also have papier mache Nesting Eggs!
