FOR THE Cookie monster

Levain Cookies

Shop on Levain

If some bunny has a sweet tooth, Levain cookies will satisfy it. I’ve tried nearly every flavor of these famous behemoth treats, and they never disappoint.

Each cookie is made with fresh, quality ingredients and baked daily. Choose from classic flavors, like chocolate chip walnut and oatmeal raisin, or opt for seasonal delicacies like lemon. There’s even a vegan and gluten-free option!

In my experience, each cookie is equivalent to about four servings. For best results, warm them in the oven for 5-10 minutes before serving with a cold glass of milk.

Katie Bandurski for Taste of Home

As far as adult Easter baskets go, you can opt for a standard cookie pack with 4, 8 or 12 monster-sized treats in a single flavor or an assortment. They’re well-packaged in a beautiful blue box. The brand also has an assortment of gifts that come with fun add-ons, like bagged coffee, a candle or a blanket.

FOR Your Candy Crush

Sugarwish

Shop on Sugarwish

If Easter snuck up on you this year, there’s still time to send a basket. Sugarwish is an online gifting platform that allows you to virtually send a box of goodies—and the recipient gets to choose what’s inside.

I have tried Sugarwish many times and always find that it’s a fun, customizable experience. As the sender, simply choose the size and type of Sugarwish, pay and enter your giftee’s contact details (think, a phone number or email address.) You can also add a virtual card and choose the delivery date/time.

Then, the recipient will get a link to your gift! Upon opening, they choose which treats they’d like to receive and enter their preferred address. In a few days—boom! A perfectly personalized box of treats show up at their doorstep. Every box I’ve tried has been fresh and well-packaged in an adorable striped box.

The most classic option is to send candy, but you can also order a Sugarwish with cookies, coffee, wine, plants and more. The only downside is that your giftee won’t have a physical basket to hunt on Easter Sunday, but they’ll still know you’re thinking of them!

FOR THE TEA DRINKER

Tea Forte Demoiselle Gift Set

Shop on Tea Forte

$60 at Neiman Marcus

$60 at Amazon

A spring tea party is in session, especially with the help of this darling Demoiselle gift set from Tea Forte. New for 2025, it includes a lidded cafe cup, porcelain tea tray and 10 pyramid tea infusers. Enjoy steeping flavors like citrus Earl Grey, mountain oolong, wildflower honey citrus, ginger lemongrass and tropical passion flower. The set is in collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden and comes in a gift-ready box.

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

I’ve tried many Tea Forte products over the years, and this collection is one of my all-time favorites. The tropical tea flavors are so good. I’m particularly smitten with the wildflower honey citrus. It’s the ideal pick-me-up on a sunny (but still chilly!) spring day. Plus, each infuser is the epitome of luxury. It comes in a paper pyramid and dons a small leaf at the top for easy removal from your cup.

This adult Easter basket is ideal for a friend who loves tea, gardening or the finer things in life. And, if purple isn’t their color, choose from several other New York Botanical Garden gift sets. There are also yellow Paradis, pink Jardin and green Fleur sets from years past.

FOR THE Breakfast Person

Bonne Maman Mini Jam Gift Set

Shop on Bonne Maman

Show someone you care with this sweet Bonne Maman gift set. Yes, of course, it includes an array of tasty preserves and honey nestled inside an adorable tin. But each mini jar is also packed inside a colorful mini box. (I recommend making this adult Easter basket even more personal by tucking a note of love or endearment inside each one!)

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

As a big fan of the Bonne Maman Advent calendar, I was hoping the jam flavors would be a bit more specialized. Instead, you get a rotation of tried-and-true favorites, like strawberry, apricot, raspberry and orange. They’re delicious on toast or stirred into a cocktail.

Plus, the mini jars are incredibly versatile. I use them to store sewing notions, propagate plants or collect random odds ‘n ends.

FOR THE Far-Away Friend

Happy Box

Shop on Happy Box

The main downside of sending a premade Easter basket? You can’t curate the exact gifts tucked inside. Happy Box changes that and allows you to select every inch of your custom care package, down to the box itself.I was sent a Happy Box a few years ago by a former colleague, and to this day it remains one of the most thoughtful care packages I’ve ever received.

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

Building a Happy Box is easy. Scroll through hundreds of add-ons, including snacks and sweets, stickers, candles, self-care goodies, stationary, apparel and more. Each item is individually priced, ranging from $1 for a can koozie to $85 for a smart heated mug set.Once you’ve made your selections, pick a gift box design, a card and a personal message. (Which someone on the Happy Box team will hand-write for you!)

As a recipient, I was thrilled to see goodies I knew my friend hand-picked just for me. They spoke to my personal tastes and interests. Plus, the packaging was adorable.

FOR THE Health Nut

Simply Fruit Basket

Shop on The Fruit Company

While most adult Easter baskets are packed with candy and treats, you can’t go wrong with a good old-fashioned fruit delivery, either. I particularly love this Simply Fruit basket from The Fruit Company.

Not only is it packed inside a reusable basket perfect for the holiday, but it’s loaded with a wide array of classic fruits. Your giftee can indulge in three types of apples and pears, Malibu oranges, Maui pineapple and Samoa kiwi, along with a dried fruit medley.

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

This gluten-free gift basket is a thoughtful option for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions who still wants to get in on the Easter fun. Plus, I was very impressed with the packaging. All the produce was well-insulated and arrived with zero damage.

Another option for the candy lover, this “No Bunny Like You” gift box from Nuts.com is loaded with spring sweets—including a few surprising finds!

For Your Gal Pal

Thinking of You Gift Basket

Shop on Gourmet Gift Baskets

One thing’s certain: She’ll smile when this sweet “thinking of you” gift basket shows up on her doorstep. It’s laden with sweet sentiments, including a glass tea infuser, confetti cookies, tea, granola bites and a candle. Even better? Everything is tightly packed inside a darling basket that doubles as a purse.

I tested this basket and think it makes a sweet Easter surprise for mom, grandma or a long-distance BFF. While on the pricey side, every product is truly gourmet. The food finds especially go beyond basic grocery store fare. And they’re tasty, too. I ate the confetti cookies in one sitting—they’re that good!

FOR THE One with Spring Allergies

Spoonful of Comfort Gift Package

Shop on Spoonful of Comfort

If your pal can’t make it to Easter dinner due to either distance or illness, send a hearty meal to their door! This gift package from Spoonful of Comfort is loaded with a main dish, rolls, cookies and a ladle.

Choose from an array of comforting mains, including chicken noodle soup, beef chili or mac and cheese, and one of six wholesome cookie flavors. You can also add “extra care” items for an additional fee, such as tea, socks or a throw blanket.

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

I tested this care package and can confirm it hits the spot when you’re under the weather or missing home. My only complaint is that the mac and cheese was very saucy and rich. I wish it was a little lighter and had more noodles. But everything else was delicious and fresh, especially for a mail-order meal.

What To Consider When Buying an Easter Basket for Adults

• Interests: Before adding an adult Easter basket to your cart, ask: “What do they like?” Be sure to pick a themed gift that aligns with their lifestyle, dietary preferences and interests. If buying a food gift, keep allergies top of mind, too.
• Shipping and delivery: In 2025, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20. If sending an adult Easter basket directly to the recipient, be sure to choose a delivery speed that gets your gift there on time. If ordering a basket with alcohol, make sure someone will be home to sign for the delivery.
• Price: Adult Easter baskets run the gamut, from around $30 to well over $200. Before shopping, pick a budget—and be sure to factor in shipping costs, too.
