With social distancing in full swing, order the locally made Easter baskets for holiday joy at home.
Easter in quarantine? We know, it’s not ideal. Unlike Easters of the past, ones filled with family, egg hunts, and visits from the Easter bunny, this year’s celebration comes at a time when everyone is still grasping for a new normal. Even so, a small, at-home celebration doesn’t mean it can’t be a good one. Will it be different? Yes. It’s only lackluster if you make it, though.
To make the occasion easier, we compiled a few of our favorite Hudson Valley-made Easter baskets that can be ordered online and delivered to the front door. For chocolate lovers, Krause’s Chocolates in Saugerties, Rhinebeck, and New Paltz has the most scrumptious cocoa-filled collection.
For foodies, Beacon Pantry offers made-to-order gift baskets stuffed with its top-selling goodies. Have a household full of children? Millerton and Rhinebeck’s Oblong Books crafts a one-of-a-kind basket that includes a book to keep kids busy for an evening…or at least half an hour.
