Shari's Berries Gift Basket Review

Easter is almost here! We are getting so excited around our house. We are getting treats ready for next weekend and making sure all the gifts are being sent out. I like to buy gifts online so the items are sent directly to the recipient, no shipping for me. Have you purchased all your items yet? You can buy Easter Candy and Chocolate at Shari's Berries. Not only do they have delicious chocolate covered strawberries but they also have everything you need for Easter Candy and other gift baskets.

My husband is not a huge chocolate fan and my mother in law cannot eat chocolate so I always make sure to have other items like fruit and salty snacks to go around. I love the idea of a gift basket with fresh fruit in it. So many times during holidays that involve lots of candy I want to have healthy treats for my son as well.

We ordered the Special Treasures Gift Basket for Easter. I was happy to see the variety of items in the basket. I know my husband will enjoy the nuts and my son and mother in law the fruit.

• Cinnamon Almonds (3 oz.)
• Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds (3 oz.)
• Honey Roasted Peanuts (3 oz.)
• Butter Toffee Pecans (3 oz.)
• Demitasse Petit Fours
• Olive Oil/Sea Salt Crackers (2 oz.)
• Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Round (4 oz.)
• 2 Comice or D'Anjou Pears
• 2 Red Sensation Pears
• 4 Fuji Apples

He declared all the fruit and the peanuts were his! 

The Demitasse Petit Fours were delicious. Tiny little cakes packed full of flavor and sweetness. I would definitely order another gift basket for a birthday or holiday from Shari's Berries. We LOVE their berries and I am glad to know they have the same quality to their other items. 

They have many cute Easter options and oh the chocolate options! They all look delicious. 

There are online coupons you can use for Shari's Berries HERE.

Personal Creations Easter Gifts Review

Easter is on it way! Time has been flying by but in a good way. Each year that goes by I love the little things about holidays more and more. The small details like a personalized items on a gift make me smile. Items for my son with his name on it are things I treasure since I know one day he will grow up and those types of things will not be "cool". So for now I will indulge in my need to have cute little personal touches on items.

For Easter this year I knew we needed a personalized basket. The few Easters we have had as parents have been so fun. This year we want to go to a big Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood and him having his name on his basket will ensure no other little bunnies will try to claim his basket.

The Personalized Easter Basket from Personal Creations is the basket we selected. It comes with free candy inside and you can pick from pink, blue or green. When the basket arrived I was pleased with the stitching and the value of the candy we received. There was even a little plush bunny included.

Another great gift is a personalized family photo frame. Everyone loves a reason to be able to share pictures of their cute kids right?!? We ordered a nice frame that says Family Live Love Laugh and our last name. I was a bit surprised that the family name part was written up into the part that reads Live Love Laugh. The picture of the item did not do that. Most people it would not bother but small details like that catch my eye. It just needs to be written a tad lower. But I am sure they could fix that through customer service.

The "T" is over the LIVE part and the "H" into the E in love.

 Here is the picture of the stock photo:

Personal Creations has so many cute items. I spent hours looking at all the gift ideas they have. I saw kitchen items, baby stuff and more frames that I would love to have in my home. I think the personal touches to the items make great gifts for any home.

Easter Basket Shopping on a Budget at Kmart

I love holidays. They are a great way to come together with family and friends to have a great time. I also love how holidays like Easter are filled with tradition. Easter Baskets are a big part of Easter in my family. I can recall many wonderful Easter baskets I received as a child from the Easter Bunny. Each year there were elements of the basket that I knew would be in there. I am creating the same traditions with my son each Easter.

My parents with the help of the Easter Bunny of course would put together each Easter basket for the 5 of us kids. My mom enjoyed the process of selecting and organizing our basket and now so do I.

As the money saving Mom that I am I shopped at Kmart to find great deals on all the Easter treats I would be buying for my son's basket. For us there has to be a traditional basket, grass, plastic eggs, Peeps and a chocolate bunny. Those are the foundation of the basket and then you add the other stuff. Depending on the age and interests of each of us kids my Mom would add toys and activities for each of us.

For my son I wanted to get him a plush animal, an art activity and a toy. I found all three of those items and so much awesome candy for under $30 at my local Kmart. I used the store ad, my Shop Your Way Rewards card and some coupons to get a great deal.

For Easter candy Kmart had it all. There were tons of brands and varieties at low prices. They had many candy items for only $1. I found chocolate Easter bunnies for $1 and even a cute white chocolate duck for $1.

Its not a Holiday without M&M's

Normally I have to use many coupons to get low prices on candy but this year Kmart had great prices. The weekly Kmart ad helped me to plan my trip and budget before I left the house. This made it easy to know what I needed and be able to select extra items to stick to my budget. I found Cars 2 die cast cars on sale for $0.99 normally priced $3.99. Reading the Kmart ad helped me to find them, a perfect item to put in my son's basket. Clearance toys are on sale with an additional 50% off marked prices so be sure to check your store to see what deals you will find.

Using my Shop Your Way Rewards card I accumulated points with my purchase and even had a coupon for 15% off Easter Plush toys printed. I think I will use it to go back and get a large Easter bunny my son was hugging in the store. I used 1 candy coupon with the sales and rewards card my receipt said I save $10.98!

My total for everything I purchased was $29.89. It was a lot of great Easter Basket items for that price.

My son loved his Easter basket with all the wonderful items inside. I got such a great deal we were able to fill another basket for my son's friend. My son enjoyed the candy and toys in his basket and this weekend we will deliver the other basket.

If your looking for a place to find everything you need in a one stop at a great price Kmart is the place to go. Grab a Kmart ad and your Shop Your Way Rewards card and your set!

I had fun shopping at Kmart for Easter Basket items and even spotted a few cute items that I wanted. You can read my Google+ story about my shopping trip.
