Why do kids have all the fun? As adults, we spend our holidays making every little thing perfect and special for the kids in our lives. We enjoy it and they deserve no less than our best efforts, but at times, we forget ourselves and each other in the process! It's time we remember the special grown ups in our lives! This Easter, check out this list of ideas to help you prepare an Easter basket everyone can enjoy! Before you hide the eggs for your kiddos, have some Easter fun of your own!

1. Movie Tickets

For your film fanatic, movie tickets are the perfect treat!

2. Soda

We all know caffeine addicts. The ones with a bottle of Mtn Dew or Diet Coke glued to their hand 24/7. "Help" their habit by adding their favorite soda to the basket!

3. Hand Sanitizer

For the practical gifter, items like hand sanitizer, Kleenex, or mini first aid kits are always useful! Take good care of your loved ones!

4. Art Supplies

Adult coloring is popular for a reason! We love tapping into our kid-creativity. Help your friends relax by adding art supplies to the mix! College kids: Crafts are the perfect diversions, taking your mind off of upcoming finals! Good additions are colored pencils, crayon, and coloring books!

5. Coffee Mug

For your coffee/tea drinker, a fun Easter-themed mug helps cultivate the spirit of spring! You can even add your own tea bags!

6. Gift Card

You can never go wrong with gift cards! Amazon, Starbucks, their favorite restaurant- you name it, they’ll like it.

7. Small Tools (hammer, tape measurer, etc.)

These practical tools will inspire your family and friends to start on those new spring building projects! (These are also a great way to drop a not-so-subtle hint to the not-so-handymen in your life!) Garden tools are also great for spring!

8. Crazy Socks

While these may be detested at Christmastime, brightly colored spring socks will bring springtime fun to your friends and their feet!

9. Playing Cards

Hunting eggs isn’t the only fun game to play at Easter! Enjoy family time by starting up a competitive game of cards!

10. Nail Polish, Makeup, etc.

Add a mini spa day to the Easter basket! Get those toes ready for sandal season!

11. Umbrella

“April showers bring May flowers!” Prepare for the rainy, springtime weather with a bright umbrella!

12. Hat

Pick a hat to match their personality!

13. Hot Sauce

This is the perfect gift for the foodie in your life!

14. Book

The Easter season is the perfect time to read in the sun! Pick a book to compliment their interests!

15. Candle

While it may not be "Christmas Cinnamon", springtime scents are so yummy! Check out Bath & Body Works or a local candle shop to find the perfect one!

16. Candy!

Peeps, Cadbury Eggs, and Hershey’s are must-haves for every Easter basket! No matter the age, everyone loves this part of Easter!

Enjoy this beautiful holiday with those you love!

Happy Easter!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
