My boys have the pottery barn ones and they are great we’ve had them for four years and I love getting them out for Easter. I’m ordering one now for the baby and I love that it will match her brothers baskets.
If you think you want them get them now because you’ll get something else and then somewhere down the line you’ll probably just end up ordering the pottery barn baskets anyway.

I have the pottery barn Easter basket liners but they fit perfectly fine on baskets I got from Target/Michael's. You can take the liner with you to the store to try on the basket to make it fits. We have the size small liner as well, it fits great on the baskets we have, one is from Target and the other Michael's.

My PBK ones are 8 and 10 years old. I think they will last until the kids move out of the house and I like them, so they were worth it to me. The small is plenty big. I also got some Target liners to switch things up for cheap if we get bored with the PBK liners. I think I got the PBK liners on super clearance in store after Easter, when we still had a PBK locally.
I have the liners and I bought the baskets from Michaels. I have three kids and I did white, dark and light brown baskets since I could never find the same one lol. I love the liners. They will go free personalization/free shipping at some point so u would stalk it and look for that. I did PBK for stockings, Easter baskets and Halloween treat bags (iffy quality!). It was worth it to me to spend the money on ones I loved when they were little and I could use them year over year. Reduces waste!!!
Just order PBK. In the grand scheme of things, how much are you really going to save? Will you remember or care a few months from now? Probably not.
My mom bought the PBK ones for our boys. They’re very cute, well made, and will have them for life.
ETA: I agree with buying the liner without the basket. Didn’t know you could do that. You won’t care about having the fancy basket, but the liner is pretty cute.
I’d get the small PBK ones. That’s what we have, and it’s plenty big. We got a really cute Peter Rabbit liner for it, and it’s been great. This will be her 5th Easter, and even though we only use it once a year, every time we do, I think how happy I am that we went with it (which is dumb, I know).

We have ones from target that are knock offs of the PBK baskets except no names on them. The have held up great for 6 easters so far. If you really want them personalized then go for the PBK or similar. Do what what makes you happy.

If you have your heart set on them and don’t want to pay that much, buy the liners or buy similar liners from Etsy and buy baskets that fit at a local craft store. I got the target version which is a slightly different basket style and I really like the size of them. They only had natural wood ones when DS2 was born, so I spray painted his a color like DS1s was...so I totally get being extra and obsessing over something they’ll use once a year (for the rest of their childhood). I’m sentimental 😊
Anyone posting on Valentines Day about Easter baskets should just buy the ones they love.
This made me literally LOL.
You guys are right. I'm going to do it as soon as they have a free monogramming and shipping sale.
I'm currently between these 2. Customer service is still getting back to me on whether the bucket one is machine washable. They need to contact the manufacturer. HA. If I do the first one I'll buy the baskets at Michael's. I think I might be leaning toward the first one right now (size small). Navy for one kid and green for the other.
Better yet I might never get around to putting names on them so I can pawn them off on my kids when they have kids and get all offended when they don’t want them lol.
Oh--My kids are taking these baskets and their stockings with them and I'm going to ask them where they are every year and get snarky when they don't appreciate them properly. LOL Isn't that my job as a mother?
We got DS a $1-ish one from Walmart and it's still going strong 6 years later. Like PP said, it gets used 1 day per year so I didn't really see the need for "sturdiness", lol. Also, while we do an Easter hunt, Easter isn't really a big deal to us with pictures, etc., so it's not like the Easter basket makes it into any photos or anything.
Ours is a dollar store basket.
Not gonna lie, I hate Easter because of how commercialized it is. I really fucking hate it. #debbiedowner

Shipping is free right now with code Yayfree . I just ordered a basket and liner yesterday which we both discounted as well.

Thanks-Yeah I noticed that, but they sometimes do free monogramming with free shipping which I think would be a bigger discount than what is currently offered. I'm going to hold out at least a few weeks I think.
