So while we are all ready for Spring (and who couldn’t use a little chocolate), I present my top 5 reasons for favoring Easter Baskets over Christmas Stockings.

1. Easter Baskets are Super Colorful and Super Creative (don’t believe me – try Pinterest).

3.  See-through packaging just makes it all the more appealing; it piques our interest.
