PBK Easter Baskets

[preppy]

How big is the large one vs the smaller one? I'm hoping to buy this one and have it last a while but don't want something too teeny. I have never given or recieved an Easter basket before.

Which one should I buy?

[hermione]

The large is ginormous. We have the small size - it's plenty big.

ETA: it's plenty big and I'm an over-buyer, gift-giving fool.

Can I hijack and ask if there's a knock off somewhere that will fit the liners? I bought a liner last year when they were cheap but didn't buy the actual basket.

I'm an over buyer so this makes me feel better.

Do I need a liner or am I good with just the basket?

I completely agree. The large one is truly gigantic. We got liners because I think they're cute.

I actually think the small ones are too small. They are shaped weird and don't hold much. I wish I had gotten a large.

[ilikedonuts]

I find the small ones are too small. Even last year when I didn't over buy, I filled the large one.

[TrudyCampbell]

I have the large and I'm able to easily fill it, but I do go a little overboard.

The large is huge! I'm glad I bought that size since I'm also an over buyer. I think I will pick up a small to use for egg hunts

Ps- do not buy a liner with a appliqué! I'm still irritated with PBK. Your name will be off centered. I sent mine back and the replacement was exactly the same so I bought another liner with just ruffles. It's super cute but I've spent like $90 on a freakin Easter basket at this point lol.

Maybe I just buy small items.

Anyway, here is the small basket next to a bubble mower to give you an idea. You can't see even close to everything in the basket but maybe it will give you a better idea as to size.

This is our large liner (and a giant baby foot). @roseyposey , I got this basket at Michael's, so you can find non-PBK baskets that fit the liner.

The regular liners are fine it's just the liner with a appliqué on it that are off centered.

The large is way too big and I give a lot. I would rather have stuff overflow than have to fill that large one yearly. Definitely get the smaller size, I'm glad I did.

[spk926]

preppy , here's a small
 

kate1482, ours has an appliqué and is not off center at all.

That is so weird and would drive me insane. Thanks for the heads up:)

The large is huge. We have that one and it's too much for sure. Apparently I can't math when reading measurements.

[preppy]

I got the gold rope basket, no liner, in small. I think this will be good for a few years:) The only liner I liked was the gold dot but I don't love the pink flower do I am going to do without. Thanks ladies!

I can't either. I looked at the measurements and was like "um what does this mean visually"

At least I'm not alone! The one you got sounds so cute!!

I have my eye on the gold rope basket too. Can you tag me when you get it? I'm worried the gold will fleck off.

This thread makes me miss my childhood Easter basket so much. It was a handmade, Seagrams very small pink heart basket. I used it for 30+ years, and it held the flower girl's petals at my wedding. It was DS's eastern asker his first 3 years of life. Last fall when my parents moved, my dad apparently decided to donate all the "random" baskets they owned, and my Easter basket was in there

that would make me so sad too:(
Trying to find a silver lining...maybe now that you have two kids it's good, because now they can both have similar baskets and start a new tradition

That's what I keep telling myself. Starting new traditions. It's hard b/c this is a pattern with my parents. They consider anything they bought for me to be *theirs*, not mine. When I went off to college they gave away my American Girl doll & accesories, hocked my flute and telescope, among other things, without asking me. They're wonderful parents and grandparents, but are very thoughtless sometimes.

This is the large with a 6 month old in it.

[preppy]

Brie that is so fucking cute and also makes me feel like the small was a good choice for me. Lol.

I got the silver version and I think it seems like nice quality. The only thing that bugs me is that the handle is on a hinge and doesn't stay up unless you are holding it or it is full. DS has the white version which isn't like this.

Yes. I regret the large, lol.

I tagged you in some Instagram pictures so you can get a feel for what fits in a large one.
