Easter is just a couple of weeks away! So it’s time to decide how you’ll be prepping that organic ham and what side dishes to whip up. You may even want to consider making your own organic candy. But as healthy and organic as we may be in the kitchen, there’s one place many of us forget to get ecofriendly: the Easter basket.

That’s why I’ve made it easy for you this year with these fun and toxin-free Easter basket gift ideas from Rodale’s:
