Hi everyone
Some lovely ideas on here. This is what I am planning. I am going to add some chocolte eggs to the baskets and then cello wrap.
We have a tradition in our house of an Easter tree ( really a twig with lots of twiggy bits on ) We stand this is a vase and hang little knitted eggs and blown eggs on. Under the twig we have little chicks and furry spring animals in a basket with chocolate Easter treats so the knitted eggs for my DDS have little loops on so they can carry on the tradition

Thought I might be able to modify this idea:



Get a plain egg carton (not sure whether you can get less than 6 egg size) but you don't have to fill them all with socks, could put easter choccies, chicks etc in it.

You could do a personalised Easter greeting on the top of box. You could even roll up the socks like rose buds:
