How to Style a Bunny Basket for Easter Gifting

Quick answer

Easter basket styling begins with a charming container like this bunny-shaped basket. Layer filler, add treats, and finish with a decorative touch.

How to style your bunny basket

1. Choose your filler material: Start with a base layer of shredded paper, crinkle cut filler, or natural straw. This adds volume and helps keep items in place. Avoid overfilling; leave enough room for the gifts to sit securely.
2. Add a layer of treats and small gifts: Place chocolate eggs, wrapped candies, or small toys inside. These also work well for party favor baskets. Arrange them so they are visible and balanced. A common mistake is placing heavy items on top of light ones; put heavier items at the bottom.
3. Include a focal gift: Add one larger item like a plush bunny, a book, or a gift card that stands out. Position it slightly off-centre for visual interest. Make sure the focal gift fits without squishing the basket sides.
4. Finish with a decorative topper: Add a layer of crinkle paper, a ribbon bow, or a small bunch of faux flowers on top. You can also wrap the handle with ribbon. Don't over-decorate; the bunny basket's own ears and face are already a feature.
5. Attach a gift tag or card: Tie a personalised gift tag to the handle or tuck a card among the filler. This adds a thoughtful finishing touch. Use a tag that complements the basket's colour scheme to keep the look cohesive.
