I’ve long loved canvas totes from Land’s End. I saw a few weeks ago that they now have Easter Basket Totes, I needed to have them for the kids. Thankfully, Land’s End was agreeable to send us one for each of the kids for review- one Flower Easter Basket Tote ($25), plus two of the Bunny Easter Basket Totes ($25). We had some personalized baskets for the kids from a few years ago but 2 of the 3 fell apart the first year and the other fell apart last year. Too many egg hunts, perhaps.
But I don’t like buying and rebuying things. It’s a waste of money, time, and resources. I’d rather buy something that is going to last and last. That’s why I wanted Land’s End. My parents always had Land’s End canvas totes- my dad still has a tool tote for his boat tools that has been around at least 25 years. Very durable 100% cotton canvas fabric, with super-tough stitching and reinforced seams makes for a basket-shaped tote that will last and last, and then last some more. It’s a great size so it’ll hold all of the candy, the eggs, the treats that that beloved bunny leaves. Dimentions: 7″Hx9 ½″W, with 8″ base; 7″ handle drop
I need a bigger basket for my kids. We do very little candy and treats instead. They do LOVE egg hunts, so we have dozens and dozens of eggs. That calls for a basket large enough to hold many eggs! In fact, they are already asking for “practice” hunts so they can work on their techniques.
The appliques on these totes are adorable- and not too “young” so that the kids can enjoy their baskets for many years to come. You can get their names monogrammed on the back for an additional $6- which I did opt to do. I chose to do their favorite colors for the monograms so they aren’t “matching” their totes but they’ll love them all the same.
There are some other variations of the Easter Basket Tote on the Land’s End site if you don’t want appliques- each of those is priced at $20. Right now through March 23, when you buy 3 or more Easter Totes, you can save $3 off each. Monogramming on home items is 50% off. That means you can get these adorable totes for even less. Monogramming does add a day or two to your processing so keep that in mind when you place your order! (Don’t forget to go through Ebates first and get 6% cash back on your order!
Thanks to Land’s End for sending the baskets. Opinions are my

I’m sold! I love canvas tote anythings and these are just day’um cute! Not to mention that if they did get messy or icky they could easily be washed and ironed. You cannot do that with a basket!

A practical, reusable basket that isn’t junk….and is so cute! And form LE – one of my favorites. Great catch!
Kelly says
OMG this is so much better then getting an easter basket! What a great eco-friendly idea!
JulieK says
Those are so adorable and I am right there with you about wanting something to reuse year by year. Not only does it save money in the long run but kids will look forward to those special canvas baskets!!!
Andrea says
Such cute baskets! We usually end up buying the cheap baskets at the store each year because they never last. I’ll have to hurry and check these out. 🙂
Beeb Ashcroft says
I think the totes are a cute idea, because they seal more easily than baskets for storing items in later!
Nicole Becker says
These are really cute but a little too expensive for my taste!!
Matthew's Mom says
Awe, these are adorable! I think that it is smart to get good quality baskets like this because they will last.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I agree totally. I used the same baskets all throughout my kids’ childhood as well. I like that these could be washed too! (Melted chocolate bunnies) 😉
Dawn Lopez says
Now those are absolutely adorable. I love that you can opt to personalize them too!
Pam says
Aren’t these just too cute? I think they’d be a great seasonable tote as well.
Kristyn says
those are really cute and great for the kiddos!
