Easter Gift Baskets

Easter is one of the most important dates in the Irish calendar, with Easter Sunday falling on 20th April 2025 in Ireland.  For most Irish people preparation for Easter usually begins on the first day of Lent forty days before Easter Sunday.  Lent is traditionally a time of abstinence in Ireland, so it’s little wonder that society as a whole is looking towards the end of what is a trying time of self denial, and the opportunity to celebrate and indulge.  This is what makes our Easter Gift Baskets and Easter Hampers such a popular gift idea, as it gives family and friends and colleagues the ability to send indulgent gifts filled with chocolate and treats.  This practice of gift exchange has woven itself into the fabric of Easter celebrations, highlighting the importance of family, friendship and community, and reflecting a broader cultural appreciation for the moments of happiness and togetherness that festive occasions create.  

Our mission is to deliver Easter Gifts on behalf of those who don’t have the time or the geographical ability to source their Easter Gifts or Hamper themselves
We identified a need for high quality Easter Gifts that could be sent quickly and easily to loved ones across the length and breadth of Ireland.  Our mission is to fulfill this need with tangibly better products than that offered by any other Irish gift company.  

What makes a good Easter Gift? 
At Basketsgalore we design Easter baskets and hampers that will be received with excitement. We know that finding and choosing a gift to send in the week leading up to Easter becomes a challenging exercise.  Most of us don’t have the time (or patience) to browse physical stores, let alone deal with the hassle of delivery. And for many, distance makes it even harder, with family and friends often spread across countries and time zones. That’s why sending an Easter gift can be more than just a nice gesture - it often becomes the reason to jump on a Zoom, FaceTime, or Google Meet call and reconnect over the holidays

What are the 3 most important considerations when choosing an Easter Hamper or Gift Basket?

Regardless of who it might be for, the gift needs to be colourful, exciting and full of vivacity.  Big and brash died out many years ago. The popularity of Easter gift baskets and hampers underscores the evolving trends in gift-giving, where personalization and quality increasingly take precedence over sheer quality.  The 2020’s are about Utility, Sustainability and Excelling in our fields. So, it stands to reason that the best Easter Gifts will encapsulate that thinking with a precision of design.  For some people quality is defined in terms of the component parts. For others it’s visual appearance, and for others it’s a combination of the two.  Defining quality is relative to the expectations of the Easter Gift Sender, which is why it is essential to offer the sort of choice you see with these Easter Gifts, whether they arrive in Easter Hamper format, Easter Gift style or with Easter Gift Basket Razzmatazz.

Specialisation over time tends to result in a professional finish and higher grade of quality. It’s the little extra touches which makes certain Easter Gifts stand out.  Such as the usage of apple green or sunset yellow straw rather than a standard paper. Or the inclusion of little chicks or Spring chocolate characters placed throughout the Easter Gifts.  At Basketsgalore we assemble all our gifts ourselves, in our Irish warehouse, so we have the satisfaction of being able to administer a final signatory Easter themed flourish to each and every gift we assemble.

Our footprint is exceedingly small. We don’t have assembly lines producing thousands of individual items.  We simply commit to modest purchases of high quality or sought after traditional Easter favourites from small local producers.  This enables us to create Easter Hampers, Gift Baskets and Gifts which are astonishingly popular.  The inclusion of Lindt and Cadbury’s chocolate is simply inescapable. Easter Eggs are of course vital components of the Easter Gift Concept. Sending Easter Eggs from small chocolatiers are gifts in themselves. What our customers have told us they want is a smorgasbord of chocolatey items with brand leaders, so that’s what we deliver. Our mission to deliver Easter Gifts on behalf of those who don’t have the time or the geographical ability to source their Easter Gifts or Hamper themselves, but we’ll do it better and more attractively than they could possibly even imagine.

What are the most popular Easter Gifts to send? 

20 years experience of producing Easter Gifts Online suggests the items as follows. 1) Sweets.  2) Toys and Games.  3) Easter Eggs.  4) Chocolate.  5) Food and Drink.

All the Easter Gifts on this page reflect the wishes of society with a wide selection of options from which customers can choose. There should be something which suits everybody, whether it is an Easter Basket for a young child or your grown-up child. Whether it is an Easter Gift for a family member or a friend. Perhaps it is an Easter Hamper for a tee totaller or a connoisseur.  Whoever the Gift is for the objective is to make it extra special, so that the kudus fall upon the sender.

The only way to ensure that these Easter Gifts succeed is to source great quality products in the right quantities and persist in the application of our experience to create better and better Easter Gifts for your consideration.  Of course, there is nothing to stop you from sending one of our traditional Easter Hampers to your Loved ones this Easter, but the philosophy of how we define what makes a great Easter Hamper, Gift Basket or range of Gifts is demonstrated on this page. 

Who finds our Easter Gift Service useful?

Many expats living abroad, or distant family members aren’t able to visit in person during the Easter Holidays, so sending an Easter message becomes even more important.  It’s a lovely way of communicating a human message of love and appreciation.  Understanding who uses us at Easter time enables us to tailor our designs to capture that spiritual sentimentality of your intentions. It enables us to create better Easter Gifts and appeal to a wider client base, which results in greater sustainability.

When it comes to sending Easter Gifts either in the Hamper format or a Gift Basket, our objectives are not measured in meaningless absolute terms. Life is more complicated than that, so we simply aim to offer 3 distinctive advantages to rival offers, which when combined make us into a leading contender for your Easter Gift Budget. 

Reason 1.  No other Hamper Company places as much value in the quality of the products. 

Reason 2.  No other Irish Shop or Store in Europe places as much attention in the nuances of design to ensure customer satisfaction.

Reason 3.  You are dealing with us directly.  You aren’t buying from a fulfilment data driven corporation.  Nothing wrong with those in the right industries, but your order should matter, and your intention should be matched by those you entrust.
