I hate the basket I made for my daughter last year. This year I was anxiously awaiting for the PBK baskets to show up on their website and they have! Are they worth the price? Are they that cute? Lillian Vernon's are hideous. What do you guys think?

I prefer an actual basket to a felt bucket.

Any other thoughts for personalized baskets?
Thanks!

A few years ago I purchased the chick and bunny baskets from PBK after Easter. For less than $3/each, they're not bad, but they're pretty tiny if you're planning on stuffing them with goodies for Easter morning. I don't think I'd pay full price for them. We use ours for collecting eggs and they work pretty well for that. Last year I bought the wicker basket and liner for DS. I like both of these and think they're good quality. DS' name is slightly off center on the liner but it wasn't a big enough deal to send it back. I like that the basket is big enough to fit a toy in since that's was the Easter Bunny leaves for DS instead of candy.

HTH,
Linda

We have the white basket with pink check liner, I can barely read DD's name in the white lettering. Such a waste of money, especially when you can purchase them after easter for 75% off!

I agree with the PP...great price if on sale, but definitely not worth it at full price.

Ummm...those Lillian Vernon baskets are pretty bad.

Maybe check on eBay for a seller that makes their own.

Longaberger has actual "Baskets"

Their Easter basket is $29 though! Yikes but maybe worth it. You can use the basket as table deco until your DD needs it.

We have PBK baskets and liners but they were purchased on sale. You may want to check Target and see what they have this year. I know they had some very similar to the PBK baskets (wicker with gingham liners) last year. Good luck!

i was asking about baskets as well. i am hoping i find something at target then have someone embroider ds name on it. that is an idea. i hate to buy something not on sale. ds won't care this year so i might wait till after the season. let me know if you find a good deal. thanks
