Easter baskets filled with gifts have been a tradition for centuries. The idea of the Easter Bunny and Easter baskets were started by German immigrants in the 18th century. This involved a rabbit named Osterhase who brought brightly colored eggs to kids on Easter. Kids would have to prepare nests for the bunny in order for him to leave them gifts. The nests were replaced by baskets, like the ones brought to mass on Sunday to be blessed.

Next to Halloween, Easter is the second largest candy holiday in the U.S. Chocolate eggs are the most popular candy and the marshmallow Peep is second. But kids want more than just candy in their Easter baskets.
