Whether for gift giving or selling, Easter baskets are a creative, beautiful option that go beyond the good old Easter egg. The Easter basket can surprise both children and adults, since there are millions of ways to decorate it, not to mention the variety of items that can be placed inside it, ranging from sparkling to toys.
Another feature that has made Easter baskets a great attraction is the ease of assembly and customization.
Where to start the Easter basket?
First of all, if you are going to sell Easter baskets or do it just as a gift for friends and family, it is essential to know the preferences of who will receive the gift before starting the assembly.
Those who are going to sell the baskets need to assemble a standard model that will serve as a guide, allowing color exchange, inclusion of other items and personalization. Creativity is the card in the sleeve when assembling the basket, which can bring decorations dedicated exclusively to Easter, even models with more feminine details and others with reference to football teams and characters, for example. The range of options is huge.
In general, the basic items that usually make up an Easter basket are:
- Wicker or fiber basket;
- Medium Easter egg;
- Truffles;
- Chocolate bars;
- 1 or 2 bunnies or dolls to decorate;
- Bonbons or brigadiers;
- Cupcake or chocolate cake;
- Chocolate carrots;
- Chocolate bunnies;
- Wine or sparkling wine (for adult baskets);
- Chocolate eggs;
- Tissue paper for the bottom of the basket;
- Cellophane and ribbons to decorate and close the basket.
More elaborate baskets can bring gourmet options, with higher quality chocolates, handmade chocolates, apricots, pistachios, bowls, among other items. All of this makes a big difference when assembling the basket and its price list.
Types of Easter baskets
Simple Easter basket or standard basket
A simple Easter basket, which we call the standard, should bring more affordable products, but of quality and well diversified. Here, a box of chocolates, a medium Easter egg, a chocolate bunny, a cupcake and a stuffed bunny may suffice. The decoration of the simple basket also does not need to be exaggerated. In general it is more neutral, in light tones and small to medium size.
Gourmet Easter Basket
This Easter basket option needs to be rich both in presentation and in the quality of the items that make it up. You can bring a large or medium artisanal Easter egg, filled with a spoon or filled with Belgian or Swiss chocolate candies. Place spoon brigadeiro (in a well presented pot), honey breads and chocolate eggs. Here, wine and glasses or just wine can be included.
Diet or light Easter basket
A great idea to give to those who are on a diet or have dietary restrictions is a diet or light Easter basket. She can bring a medium or small Easter egg with 70% cocoa chocolate, carrot cupcakes and even natural and candied fruits.
Easter basket for children
After all, Easter is one of the most anticipated moments for children, isn't it ?! For them, the Easter basket needs to be playful and delicious at the same time. It may come with a large or medium milk chocolate Easter egg – preferably – bonbons without filling, without nuts or any other ingredient that may cause allergies, milk chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs and cupcakes.
The Easter basket for children can also accompany a plush bunny or a toy, but it is not mandatory. But since Easter eggs always bring these items, and many children end up choosing eggs based on the toy or character it prints, it is natural to offer one of these items in the basket as well.
Easter basket for women
The Easter basket for women has an incredible possibility: the inclusion of flowers in the decoration. It can come with a more romantic and delicate aspect, with traditional and cherry chocolates, a medium or large Easter egg, milk chocolate eggs, wine, honey breads and cupcakes.
Easter basket for men
It is not because the basket is for a man who does not need decoration and good taste. Easter baskets for men or young people can bring team connotations, mugs, a medium or large Easter egg, milk chocolate candies, honey breads, wine and even chocolate eggs.
The decor can bring more earthy tones, which, by the way, combine very well with chocolates.
How to calculate the price of Easter basket
It is essential, before pricing the basket, to obtain the current values of each of the items that make up the present. After the total sum of the values of the items (do not forget to add in the sum the value of the papers and ribbons used in the decoration), you must include the percentage of profit you wish to obtain from the sale. This will give you the exact selling price of each Easter basket.
Gourmet baskets, for example, should have higher values, due to the choice of chocolate and its quality compared to other types. Also, don't forget to price the labor and time dedicated to assembling the baskets. Although they are easy to assemble it is very important to charge for manual labor.
