10 Best Easter Gifts for Leather Craft Lovers

It’s hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner. With it comes the promise of sunshine and warmer days.

Approximately 85% of Americans celebrate Easter each year. The holiday is a major time for family togetherness in Canada as well. But all too often, Easter baskets are filled with plastic trinkets and chocolate. 

In fact, 4% of all chocolate consumed in a year happens over the course of Easter weekend. 

If you’re looking for more unique ideas for a loved one’s Easter basket, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of 10 budget-friendly Easter gift ideas for leather craft lovers old and young. 

Choosing more unique Easter gifts can cut down on waste and help your family prioritize having a few quality items over a plethora of low-quality junk. 

Many people see Easter as a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Christian tradition, this is the purpose behind Easter, which is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox, and marks the end of lent. However, many non-Christians also choose to celebrate Easter. 

Many of the celebrations that take place during Easter, including Easter egg hunts, bunnies, and gifts, actually originated with a pagan holiday meant to celebrate the coming of spring. Over time, these traditions merged into the Easter we know today.

Easter baskets originated as woven nests that were filled with eggs to symbolize the fertility of the spring season. This evolved to woven baskets filled with all kinds of goodies. 

Traditional Easter baskets can be fun, but they can also be incredibly wasteful. Excessive amounts of candy and plastic trinkets invariably find their way into landfills after the holiday — along with all the plastic wrapping that came with it. 

One-use plastic eggs tend to break apart, and cheap $5-$10 woven baskets are far too often discarded soon after use. 

In fact, the Easter holiday season produces about 4,000 tons of waste each year in Canada alone.

Additionally, traditional Easter gifts are... well... boring. The same few items are gifted year after year. According to one survey, 83% of people will choose to load their Easter baskets with candy and chocolate. 

Instead of giving in to wasteful consumerism, a more eco-friendly holiday shopping strategy involves selecting a high-quality container — such as a leather tote bag — to use as your Easter basket year after year. 

In addition to choosing a reusable basket substitute, the items you fill it with should be carefully chosen to represent the things your loved ones care most about. 

We’re not saying you should ditch the chocolate entirely. But instead of burying hundreds of small chocolate eggs in fake grass at the bottom of a basket, consider purchasing one or two nice pieces of candy, as well as a few high-quality gifts tailored to your loved ones’ interests. 

Quality gifts don’t have to come with a premium price tag. Even leather craft lovers who understand the difference between cheap “genuine leather” and quality top grain leather will appreciate the budget-friendly Easter gift ideas listed below. Here are 10 high-quality Easter gifts you’ll be proud to display in this year’s basket.
