Buckets O' Fun!!

Last year my Mom decided to used Easter Buckets for the grand-kids instead of baskets so guess who decorated them...yours truly :)  
The buckets are actually a great idea!  They are cheap, I got these at Michaels for $1 each and personalized them with my cri-cut.  The kids love them because they have their name on them AND they can be reused for a variety of indoor and outdoor activities instead of a basket that has to be stored and only gets used once a year.

Easter Basket!
Recently I have decided to take it a little further.  Why not use these buckets for gift giving instead of gift bags. 
The same idea applies:
  • They are cheaper than gift bags
  •  They can be reused by the kids, essentially part of the gift. 

You don't need a Cri-Cut to decorate them either.  
Get alphabet stickers from your local craft store if you want to put their name on it or even let your kids decorate them for their friends. 
Insert gift and tissue paper and you have a personalized gift that is sure to be a hit with the birthday boy/girl and their parents!
Gift Basket!
