Here in Bergen County, there are lots of egg hunts, Easter bunny photo ops and holiday breakfasts leading up to Easter Sunday that the whole family can enjoy. But it’s not Easter without a customary gift basket for the littles in your life that’s stuffed to the gills with toys, treats and other fun, seasonal knickknacks.

Sure, we’re advised not to put all our eggs in one basket, but there are no rules saying we can’t fill an Easter basket with as many treats and toys as possible. When you’re putting together your basket for the kiddos, be sure to save space for one or more of these surprises:
