Books

We love excuses to add new books to our little home library. Studies show that growing up in a home with lots of books makes one smarter. That alone is reason enough to add bookish gifts to your spring basket.

But even more, books can be so much fun even for the most hesitant reader. Consider the specific interests of your child and what will be the most meaningful kids of books for their experience.

For example, if he is into Pokemon, consider a guide on the strengths and strategy so he can learn more about the game. If she loves horses, consider a chapter book with a horse theme like Black Beauty or A Horse for Kate.

Easter is also an excellent time to upgrade your child’s Bible or devotional or faith-based reading as they mature.

My kids’ birthdays are in the winter, so spring is a great time to add a few warm weather gear to our stash.

Thinking through a theme can help narrow down the plan. For example, consider items that would be great for camping, or maybe you want to improve backyard fun. An Easter basket is a great time to stock up for a great warm-weather season!
