Easter is a religious holiday, but it’s also a joyous time to celebrate the start of spring, the season of rebirth and new beginnings. Easter traditions run the gamut from going to church, to planning egg hunts and other kid-friendly activities, to getting together with family to enjoy scrumptious food—including Easter candy, of course! One beloved ritual that children always look forward to: Easter baskets. But why should kids have all the fun? Get your favorite grown-up an adult Easter basket that’s guaranteed to surprise and delight.

While you can always opt for a premade Easter basket, we think putting together a package tailored to a specific person makes it extra special. Whether you’re doing this for a coffee lover, a makeup maven, a movie buff, or anyone else, we have the perfect ideas for you with these Easter basket stuffers and treats for every type of personality. Of course, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and Peeps go with everything, so make sure to add your recipient’s favorite sweet treats, too. For Easter basket ideas for other ages, check out these Easter baskets for kids and teens.

These gifts for coffee lovers will give any java junkie a much-needed fix at home or on the go. Grady’s Cold Brew Kit, with its pour-and-store pouch, will let them make 36 servings of their own cold brew—no fancy equipment required. The Multiccino Mug will help them get creative with their caffeine concoctions; indicators on the outside show you how much espresso, water, and milk to add to create the perfect macchiato, cortado, caffé au lait, and Americano. And they’ll never be without a cup of joe with the portable AeroPress Go. It makes coffee in just one minute, and includes a mug and a lid that doubles as a traveling case.

Score big with any sports fan by giving them items emblazoned with their favorite team’s logo. They can stay warm while watching the game at home with a plush sherpa throw—and keep brewskis cold with a PopSockets team cozy. Instead of a traditional basket, pack it all in a cooler they can use to tailgate. A multipurpose insulated bag available on Etsy is also a folding chair, or you can opt for Budweiser’s version, which boasts built-in Bluetooth speakers.

Is their favorite store Sephora? Surprise a beauty buff with this adult Easter basket. Black-owned and founded brand Beauty Bakerie’s sponge set seamlessly blends makeup, and it comes packaged in a cheeky egg carton. Ilia’s Small Wonders collection includes four of the brand’s clean-beauty best sellers in pocket-size minis, while a Too Faced Lip Injection Plumper gives a fuller pout without any needles. For an eye shadow palette that’s like a work of art, get Selena Gomez’s Confident Energy palette to elevate any look—and any Easter basket.

Celebrate the arrival of spring flowers with an array of items to help any garden grow. Kikkerland’s crystal-shaped self-watering globe slowly releases water; just set it and forget it. For a more hands-on approach, Anthropologie’s Nadya sculptural ribbed watering cans are stylish enough to leave out on the counter. Tend to any greenery with Expert Gardener’s trio of patterned tools, and keep hands protected with pretty printed waterproof gloves and skin-soothing soap to wash away any dirt.

Get the traveler in your life the latest and greatest to make any trip first class. Portable chargers are a must-have accessory to stay connected, but our multipurpose picks do more than just juice up a device. The Calpak luggage tag has a hidden compartment with a removable battery, while a Multitasky suitcase-shaped power bank has a built-in hand warmer that’s perfect for frigid flights. Consider adding a luggage scale or an international adapter for frequent fliers. More on-the-go essentials could include a collapsible water bottle with a built-in flashlight, a card-sized multitool, and a carryall bag that doubles as an insulated cooler and conveniently folds flat for easy toting.

Astrology geeks go crazy for anything displaying their sign. Piecework makes pint-sized puzzles that pay homage to every horoscope’s personality. Blossom & Stone’s Aura room spray is individually crafted for the qualities of each astrological sign and filled with moon-charged healing crystals. And jewelry never disappoints. Neither will Pura Vida’s affordable zodiac mother-of-pearl necklace or Awe Inspired’s gold vermeil pendant. Stash the bauble of your choice in a trinket box featuring gilded celestial motifs on the lid (and your loved one’s astrological traits printed inside) for an extra surprise. Don’t forget to top off this adult Easter basket with their favorite Easter candy, according to their zodiac sign.

Whether they’re a master chef or a cooking novice, consider these goodies for anyone with a penchant for food. Jazz up any meal with the Sous Chef Spices of the World set, which includes 12 specialty seasonings curated by chefs from around the globe. For entertaining at home, Casafield’s organic bamboo charcuterie board has a clever slide-out drawer that stores four stainless steel serving utensils. And for a taste of nostalgia, pick a hometown dish or a favorite childhood meal and have it delivered to their door. Goldbelly ships America’s most famous foods from any restaurant, like New York City’s Russ & Daughters’ matzo ball soup, Chicago’s Lou Malnati’s deep-dish pizza, and Maine’s McLoons Lobster Shack’s crab roll. Bon appétit!

This adult Easter basket is perfect for anyone who loves chilling at home—or really needs some downtime. Venus’ Hacci duster cardigan feels like a cozy hug, and it’s the next best thing to draping yourself in a blanket. Add some cute pajamas, a robe, and UGG’s ridiculously fun rainbow-hued Fluff Yeah slippers. For a little self-care, Loop’s Quiet Noise Reduction Earplugs will discreetly block out any unwanted sounds. (So long, screeching kids and noisy neighbors!)

Put together a collection of little luxuries that will charm those who have a passion for pampering. Briogeo’s Tropical Hair-adise set nourishes and hydrates dull strands, while giving a nod to impending warmer temps. Bubble’s Double Cleanse duo, which comes with a satin scrunchie, removes makeup and keeps skin clear. And EcoTools’ Luxe Massage Tool gives skin spa-level TLC. Finally, Vince Camuto’s fragrance sampler is a sweet addition; it includes the collection’s most popular scents, all packaged in a pretty floral gift set.

It’s easy to satisfy vino lovers—just offer up a quality bottle of wine and some cool accessories. Start with Pinch Provisions Mini Wine Kit to help prep for a stain-and-headache-free night. For makeup addicts worried about messing up their lipstick, cheeky wine-shaped lip tints ensure sipping without smudging. And Paper Source’s quartz wine stopper—made from a genuine geode—is a stylish way to preserve any blend. To properly unwind after a long day, GabbaGoods’ Bath Wine Holder and Bluetooth Speaker will let them sip, soak, and listen to tunes. It’s waterproof, wireless, and there’s even a built-in mic for hands-free calling. Need additional inspiration? Here are even more gifts for wine lovers.

Gadget gurus will love an adult Easter basket filled with clever tech gifts. An affordable Apple Watch stand from Tranesca is a sleek pick to store and charge the device. An EWA tiny portable Bluetooth speaker is small but mighty: It boasts a high-performance driver, a passive subwoofer, an impressive bass, and enough power to fill a room with tunes—and more than 19,000 five-star reviewers on Amazon agree! And particularly useful during a global pandemic, the ionUV Pro Wand is a handheld tool that sanitizes almost any surface, including ones on hard-to-clean devices.

We guarantee the pet-obsessed person in your life will be paw-sitively pleased with any gift that spotlights their furry BFF. For a one-of-a-kind personalized pick, Sweater Hound will hand-knit their pet’s image on a sweater, pillow, blanket, hat, and even undies. Other sites will also put their pet’s face on a pair of socks, or turn them into a custom-shaped pillow. On Etsy, you can find clever feline products, like moccasin catnip toys and shoe-shaped beds. And Uncommon Goods offers up unique animal accessories, including a colorful upcycled dog mat made from fabric scraps, and a cat scratching pad designed to look like a laptop. Trust us: This adult Easter basket is purr-fect for the right person!

Fitness fanatics will appreciate the latest and greatest in activewear and accessories that will help them get in shape and look good while doing it. For this basket, try a fashion-forward and supportive sports bra (we love Athleta’s size-inclusive options in fun prints), and a bar kit from Gaiam that provides a Pilates workout in the comfort of their own home. For strength-training gear that’s actually stylish, Blogilates makes colorful resistance bands and gold-tone dumbbells. And Ananday cork massage balls will release tension and loosen muscles after an intense sweat session.

An adult Easter basket for bauble collectors can be comprised of covetable jewels, like affordable and whimsical creations from Bryan Anthonys, or uniquely practical pieces, like Phearco’s sculptural earrings, designed to hold AirPods in place. Looking for a gift that keeps on giving? Buy a membership to the jewelry-rental company Rocksbox and tuck the membership note into the basket. Add in a cute jewelry organizer and a quality cleaner, and you’re all set!

Help the stressed-out, overworked person in your life unwind with some indulgent self-care gifts. C’est Moi’s Mellow Marshmallow nourishing face masks will let them zone out with their head in the clouds. Mindfulness dice offer an easy and practical way to help them find more peace and balance in their everyday routine, while a book of tiny, happy notes is sure to boost their mood when they need it. Round out this adult Easter basket with a sleep kit that encourages quality shut-eye.

If you know someone who thinks that organizing and cleaning are calming pastimes, add these practical picks to your cart. Microfiber mop slippers clean as they walk (genius!), airtight food storage jars keep their pantry perfect, and planner sheets will make their busy schedules more manageable. And don’t forget about their wardrobe! Invest in the Nori Press, a lightweight handheld steamer that instantly erases annoying wrinkles—it’s like a hair iron for clothes!

If decorating eggs is their favorite part of the holiday, give them something to do after the DIY ritual is done. Help them tap into their inner artist with a paint-by-numbers kit featuring the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman. Or they can try cross-stitching, either with a colorful monstera pattern or a funny “I Can’t Adult Today” version. Finally, add a grown-up coloring book, and pair it with a Van Gogh–inspired Starry Night Smush Crayon, an oversized crayon that’s composed of different colors all melted together. You can also get creative with these printable Easter cards.

Improve your grill worshiper’s food with Williams Sonoma’s slow-simmered tasty BBQ sauces or a prepackaged seasoning kit. Make the basket extra special with personalized gifts, like custom tongs that feature a handle with the actual dimensions of a baseball bat and a bespoke branding iron that puts a signature stamp on meats. And they’ll be in control of the cookout with a Grill Instructor apron that boasts five built-in strategic pockets and a detachable bottle opener.

Create your own home entertainment center indoors or out with an Auking portable projector. It’s a splurge, but nearly 11,000 five-star reviewers on Amazon say it’s worth it. Of course, popcorn is a classic choice for movie munchies, but Wabash Valley Farms’ specialty set takes the snack up a notch with retro-designed tins packed with gourmet kernels, a buttery oil, and three seasonings. For a little fun, add Uncommon Goods’ What to Watch Decider Dice, or turn their next binge-fest into a fun competition with the Booze Clues Movie Night Drinking Game. For a more family-friendly choice, try the Blockbuster Party Game, which pays homage to the golden era of video rentals.

For those who love to play or consider themselves kids at heart, these fun selections are sure to entertain. Upgrade boring playing cards with pretty printed decks (plus a wooden storage case), or opt for a booze-themed trivia game. For a trip down memory lane, choose an old-school classic, but personalize it for an unexpected surprise. One Etsy seller will create a Guess Who? game with the photos and names of your choice, while another offers a Jenga tower with custom-engraved prompts on each block. And for the times when they have no one to play with, include Box One by Neil Patrick Harris, a board game filled with trivia, codes, puzzles, and more designed for just one player. While we’re on the topic, check out these fun Easter games the whole family will enjoy.

Candy has always been a classic Easter basket filler, but it shouldn’t be reserved just for kids. Scrap the traditional chocolate bunny and Peeps and go for more elevated treats when creating an adult Easter basket. For anyone with a sweet tooth, these yummy confections will hit the spot. Raindrops makes candy snacks in the shape of realistic-looking food, like sushi, burgers, and tacos, and Coop’s handmade hot fudge can (and will be) slathered on just about anything. Want something tied to the holiday? Cheryl’s Cookies makes cute and delicious buttercream-frosted cookies that come in a cheerful Easter gift box.

Jedi junkies will think these Star Wars gifts are out of this world. Instead of a basic basket, put everything in an oversized droid-shaped cookie jar. Start with Williams Sonoma’s molds that create ice shaped like that other faithful droid, BB-8. A Darth Vader Lightsaber Immersion hand blender is a powerful force in the kitchen. And Stormtrooper planters are a surprisingly stylish way to show off your love for the famous film.

What could be better for an adult Easter basket than an assortment of boozy gifts? They’ll love a cocktail multitool that includes 10 essential bar pieces (a can opener, corkscrew, strainer, stirrer, and more) to make the perfect tipple, and the innovative Icebreaker Pop Ice Cube Tray, which fills like a water bottle, then pops out cubes. Want ice with a little more punch? Cocktail-infused ice cubes will instantly elevate any spirit. And for the sophisticated sipper, try a handblown globe decanter set with etched glasses. Cheers!

Beauty buffs will go gaga over a collection of beauty loot that gives good glow. Skin care guru to the stars Charlotte Tilbury’s newest launch is a Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil that helps the complexion appear plumper and smoother, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A cooling and brightening eye balm from cult favorite and clean beauty brand Tula revives tired eyes, and Fresh’s moisturizing hand cream softens skin (and looks pretty on any shelf). For a spa-level facial at home, consider BareMinerals’ new Ageless Phyto-AHA treatment, a three-in-one peel, exfoliator, and mask.

Caring about the planet is cool, and so are these Earth-conscious offerings. Activewear brand Girlfriend Collective creates its covetable pieces from recycled water bottles; in fact, last year alone, they repurposed 15.7-plus million water bottles into clothes! And cute items with a message, such as these “please recycle” crew socks, add some visual fun. Other basket-sized gifts might include shampoo and conditioner bars (no plastic here!), reusable cutlery in a handy carrying case, and a makeup-brush kit made with eco-friendly materials. Of course, if your eco-conscious recipient also happens to be a beauty buff, you can include some sustainable, cruelty-free makeup items in here, too.
