Spring cleaning Easter basket, nice Easter gift for home owner, first apartment


*~*This Easter, instead of giving an adult loved one a basket filled with sugary treats, how about giving them a spring cleaning Easter basket instead! A spring cleaning Easter basket is perfect for someone who just got their own place. It's also a wonderful Easter basket for someone who is hard to buy for. Everyone needs cleaning supplies!

~*~Hit the dollar store and buy a mop bucket or a pail or any type of dish pan or plastic container. You will use the the bucket or pail or dish pan as the Easter basket.


~*~Fill the bucket with cheap cleaning supplies. Good items to buy are sponges, wash rags, a can of Lysol, dish soap, a roll of paper towels, a spray bottle of Windex, and whatever else you can fit in the bucket. Shop at the dollar store to save money.


~*~Wrap the entire basket with some cheap netting that you can buy in the fabric section of any store that sells fabric.


~*~Tie the netting at the top of the basket with curling ribbon to secure it closed. Curl the ribbon by rubbing it along the edge of scissors to make the ribbon look festive.


Attach a little Easter card and leave a note saying you will spend an hour helping. Now there's a real gift!
