Easter Pails & Baskets

Bountiful Easter Baskets for Happy, Hoppy Kids

Easter baskets and pails are as much a staple of Easter morning as Easter eggs or chocolate bunnies! For as long as decorated eggs were around, there has been a need to have a container for them. While kids originally created nests for their Easter eggs, baskets and pails have been a symbol of Easter since the 1600s. So when you place Easter treats into a basket or pail you're carrying on a tradition that's lasted centuries.

Easter Pails vs. Baskets

What's better: Easter pails or Easter baskets? While Easter baskets do have the edge in traditional symbolism as far as recognizing an Easter container goes, Easter pails can really open up some decorative possibilities and help create a rustic look to Easter containers. Pails can also be quite sturdy and may better protect fragile Easter eggs if bumped around.

When it comes down to it, though, the choice between Easter pails and Easter baskets is really an aesthetic choice. Which do you think looks better? Which one will be more likely to delight your kids? Choose whichever one you like the best!
