The Easter season is a time of great joy and celebration. We gather together—in our churches, with our families and friends—and give thanks for the miracle of Jesus risen. Often we give gifts, Easter baskets and Easter eggs, to the children around us in a reflection of the ultimate Easter gift God gives to us all. 

But this outpouring of love and generosity can extend to everyone in our lives, the young and the young at heart. As we give thanks to God for the Good News of Easter, we have an opportunity to show our appreciation and care for those who support and uplift us. Here are some thoughtful ideas for Easter basket ideas for gifting to your mom this season.

Why Easter Baskets?

What sets Easter gifts apart from the presents of other holidays and occasions is often the presentation of Easter gift baskets. We may be tempted to view this tradition as reserved solely for the kids as they scour the yards for their Easter eggs. But building an Easter basket for an adult is a great way to personalize and tailor your Easter gifts to the person you want to honor.

You can select a theme based on the recipient’s interests or hobbies. This can help spark inspiration and give direction when you find yourself unsure of the right Easter gift. Here are a few Easter gift ideas for baskets you can create to show your mom some love.

On Beauty and Faith

Explore the intersection between beauty and faith within the contexts of our lives. Perfect for artists and creative or for those looking to reflect upon the impact and import of beauty in all of creation. Through the story of Mark 14:1-11, The Story of the Woman with the Alabaster Jar, this book strives to articulate the intuitive relationship between it and the things of God: calling, spirituality, mission, and more. 

Notecards

Words have always encouraged us. Amidst the joy, timely encouragement brings delight. Amidst sorrow, it brings serenity. On any occasion, written words can create connection and remind us that we belong to each other. Alabaster’s Notecard Collection helps you practice this evident and needed goodness.

Inspire: Psalms Coloring Book

Combining artistic expression with a rumination on scripture, the Inspire: Psalms coloring book is a perfect Easter gift. Your mom can read through the Book of Psalms in its entirety, while pausing to color and illuminate key words of wisdom from the text.

Médicis Almonds

A classy sweet indulgence, glazed almonds were first served at lavish feasts in ancient Greece.

Wisdom Pairing

Paired together, the books of Psalms and Proverbs invite us to ruminate on wisdom. As we read these books, we are encouraged to feel—to reflect; we are connected to those who have come before us as they navigated the joys and challenges of life and explore what it means to know God. 

Steadfast (Dark Roast)

The journey of becoming “steadfast” is not a simple one. It takes a mindset of consistency and discipline. Copa Vida understands and values every morning ritual that propels us forward in our work.
