I'm going to do better with Mason's Easter basket this year since I can actually budget and plan well-ahead of the celebration. Last year he received a blue pail with candies {they were eaten by his Mommy}, a little stuffed chickie, and the book "In My Nest." Cute enough for a 2-month-old, but overall kind of boring.
This year I had a Bump friend share these Monogrammed Baskets and I ordered ahead of time...AND they're at a great price: $17.95 for the basket and liner, plus $3.50 for the personalized embroidery. And then of course I "Googled" an Online coupon on RetailMeNot and saved addition $$$. YAY!
A lady at our local baby boutique, Swaddle, with a 15-mo-old boy recommended these Clementine Soy Crayons. They're all-natural, non-toxic, soy-based, crayons so when Mason gnaws on them he'll be perfectly fine. I recently left my grocery list and pencil on his high chair {by accident!} and he picked up the pencil and began drawing on the paper. I got excited and brought out the smaller colored pencils, but he tried eating those...I'm thinking that these crayons will be a good start to fostering Mason's artistic skills.
Hello Picasso!
The same mommy also recommended "The Runaway Bunny" book which is very fitting for Easter.
And then because I can't seem to get Mason enough shoes {kind of like me...}, I got him these Wallabees. I still can't get over the fact that they have man-clothes in miniature form!

Now for the Easter Basket Wish List:
This thing sells out at boutique stores and sometimes Online- Boon's Grass Drying Rack. It's definitely more for aesthetics though...we have the cheapest drying rack I could find at Babies R Us and I hide it for parties, but yes I'm tempted to get this cool contraption. Oh and did I mention it's made by Boon? Of course it is!
And let me introduce you to my Children's Art obsession: sarah + abraham 
If only Mason would take a "normal" sippy cup...then I could justify going ahead and getting him a personalized Water Bottle. How cool is their Olliegraphic line?

I love everything! Especially the crayons...so cool! The Wallabees brought back some memories, though. I bought Nate a pair when he was about 2. Where has the time gone?!
I love the Boon grass drying rack! We saw it in a local boutique a couple of weeks ago. Bob has a French press that we currently dry on paper towels. I think it would be much cuter drying in a patch of grass. :)
Love The Runaway Bunny!!!
