This is a sponsored post for coupons.com. All opinions and super cute DIY Easter basket ideas on a budget, are 100% my own – and honest as always.

Gahh! Can you believe that Easter is just around the corner?!

I certainly can’t.

Do you normally buy the pre-made Easter baskets or do you make them yourselves? We’ve done it both ways but I do prefer to make a DIY Easter basket – hands down!

Kmart has a TON of super cute Easter baskets that you can fill up yourself. Better yet, they have a TON of Easter Packaged Chocolates for $1.50 on sale from 4/9-4/15!! Especially my favorite, errr…I mean my child’s favorite. (insert evil candy-stealing grin here).

Besides all the pretty baskets, and yummy candy – you need to grab other things like Smart Sense plates, napkins, water, and everything else for your Easter family shindig! You can get Shop Your Way reward points on Smart Sense items too! Woohoo!! Earn 25% In Points with $10+ of Smart Sense Food & Drug Products at Kmart, through 5/1!

Between the everyday great prices on grocery items and Shop Your Way rewards, you can find everything you need at Kmart for your Easter dinner!

Attention Kmart shoppers, Bluelight Specials are back! If you missed the deal while you were in the store, don’t worry. You can find Bluelight Specials online and get notified when the next one happens with the Kmart app, too!

Today’s post in our 12 Days Days of Easter recipes and crafts is a really cool one! It’s a bit more of an “edible craft” than an actual recipe. It’s also helpful for those who prefer the “wow” without all the work! Hollow Easter Bunnies can be a bit disappointing to little ones so this Chocolate Easter Bunny Surprise idea that Victoria at Mom Does Reviews is sharing is really awesome!

She shows you how to open up the hollow bunny and fill with little goodies inside. Then put back together with no hint at all that it was ever opened. The kids will be soooo surprised when they find out that it’s filled with some of their favorite things! So stinking cute!!! Make sure to click here to get the full tutorial and enjoy!
