PB Easter baskets

[smm5623]

20% off today. Tell me which to get. I need a boy and a girl one, something that will last them as long as they get Easter baskets.

I think the consensus last year was the small basket is plenty big enough correct?

Maybe the green gingham and the pink gingham one?

We got the small basket last year for J and I'm really glad I didn't get the large. The small is not small. It's pretty big. We got it monogrammed and chose the green/blue check.

Maybe I just buy my kids a lot but i think the small is too small.

I found the small to be the perfect size. The big one is huge!

[spk926]

We have the small and it's plenty big!

[bazinga]

We also got the small last year and I think it is plenty big. We got a teal colored gingham pattern. I think green and pink would be great!

[redheadk]

We have the large. Do NOT get the large. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT.

I'm here too.  I like the big one b'c it will fit a book, or an outfit easily with room to spare for little stuff.  I can add extra grass if I want less room, but it's hard to make more space!

Thanks for this! My MIL just ordered DS's basket since she got DD one years ago. She ordered the large for DD, so I felt like we had to get a large for DS too. It is quite large though. We have to use a different basket for egg hunts because these would be too hard to carry around.

Someone post a pic of their kid next to their large basket so we can all see.

I need to stop looking at the PBK site around Easter from now on. When I ordered his basket in 2013 they didn't have good boys options that year, so I ordered elsewhere. It's still just a basic PBK-like basket with a blue gingham liner, and monogrammed. But eek, they have cute options this year!

I will NOT buy a new one. Ever. His basket is perfect, and we have pics of him in is as a newborn. But... it's tempting.

Are these classics that they have these year after year?

I don't want to buy anything that I won't be able to match in the future for future kiddos.

I think they switch up their patterns quite a bit. They don't have the liner that I ordered last year for DS anymore.

Would a large basket fit, say, a newborn? DD will be here right before Easter and I'm dying for a picture of her in her basket.

[smm5623]

Ok who has pictures of their kids next to the baskets? I need to see for frame of reference. Please and thank you!

[tigermom]

We got a picture of DD in her basket when she was at least 4 months old. We were even able to put a bunch of plastic easter eggs in with her. I'll see if I can dig up that picture.

Here is the picture:

Here's DD at 15 months with her small PB basket. It is sitting in a regular size PB anywhere chair.

I have a feeling this will be me too, which is why I can't decide.  Everyone here seems to complain that the Stevie diaper bag is too big, and I was hardly able to even zip it shut for months! So I'm guessing I'll think the small basket is too small.

Coming back in to say I had never shopped their Easter baskets before and just went to the website.....the ruffles

Yeah this year is horrible. The boys stuff is cute. The girls is pretty terrible. I like just a couple.

I ordered a pink gingham one. Many of them were NMS.

2.5 year old and 6 month old and their large  baskets (they are sitting just slightly in front of them rather then next to them).

[ilikedonuts]

I got DD1 a new liner last year because they didn't have the same one when it was time to get DD2 hers. I am so OCD that they needed to "coordinate"

The ones I picked last year were the only ones that were even remotely cute and they still aren't my favorite. This year's are so bad!

I even tried to find one on ebay to match and get it embroidered myself, but all I could find was a small!

Thanks ilikedonuts
Definitely think we need the large!

Has anyone had good luck getting the actual basket cheaper from like Michaels or Hobby Lobby?

[DarcyLongfellow]

We have two larges, and I love them! They are huge, but I have never had trouble filling them. We always do outside toys for Easter, and bubble machines and sidewalk chalk take up a lot of room :-)

We use different, smaller baskets for them to carry around to collect eggs. The PB ones sit out on the dining room table to be filled by the Easter Bunny.
