Easter is just around the corner. It’s time to start putting together those Easter baskets! But what to put in them? If you are like me, you’re always looking for something different to include. Why not make travel themed Easter baskets this year? It’s a creative way to get your kids excited about an upcoming trip (or reveal a surprise trip to them). And this will allow you to easily replace all the candy and trinkets with items that will be useful. So, what do you put in a travel themed Easter basket? Below are some ideas to get you started.

Disney Trip

If you have a trip to Disney World or Disneyland planned, make your travel themed Easter baskets Disney focused. Include items that your kids will use or need on the trip. This is also a great way to give them some pre-trip souvenirs.

• Mickey ears
• Plush Disney characters
• Glow sticks
• Magicbands (read all about Magicbands)
• Disney gift cards
• Autograph book and pen
• Trading pins and lanyard
• Disney hat and/or shirts

Camping/Fishing

Does your family enjoy camping and fishing? If so, this can be the focus of your travel themed Easter baskets. Just head to your local camping or outdoor store and stock up on your kids’ favorite camping and fishing supplies or include some gadgets they have been wanting to try.

• S’mores or marshmallow roasting kit
• Fishing lures
• Small lantern
• Fishing license
• Flashlight
• Canteen/water bottle
• Sleeping bag or hammock
• Grilling cookbook
• Camping pillow

Beach Trip

Heading to the beach instead? Use the beach as your inspiration for your travel themed Easter baskets. To add an extra special touch to these, use sand pails instead of traditional baskets to hold all of your items.

• Beach towel
• Sand toys
• Sunglasses
• Inflatable water toys
• Snorkel gear
• Underwater camera
• Water bottle
• Swimsuits
• Water shoes

Destination Related Items

If you are taking a special trip this year, make your travel related Easter baskets items revolve around that destination. This is an excellent way to teach your children about the location you will be traveling to.

• Maps
• Guide books
• Local currency
• Snacks from your destination
• Books on your destination

General Travel Items

You can also include general travel items in your travel themed Easter baskets. These are things that your children can use for any trip to any location. If you are just beginning to travel with your kids, this is a good way to supply them with basic travel accessories. If you have been traveling for a while, use this opportunity to replace some of their older travel gadgets.

• Sunglasses
• Water bottle
• Headphones
• Travel journal
• Backpack
• Travel games
• Camera
• Travel pillow
