Spring doesn’t just mean Easter for our family – it also means baseball season! Since the Easter holiday tends to fall right in the middle of baseball season, it’s fun to use America’s pastime as part of your Easter gift ideas by making a baseball Easter basket! I’m sharing some ideas for what to include in a baseball-themed Easter basket. Specifically, this is an Easter basket for baseball players, and it will work well for young ballplayers or teens.

What you need to put together a baseball-themed Easter basket for baseball players
Here are the items I used to make this Easter basket for baseball players, plus some other fun additions you may want to include.
- Baseball Easter basket. First, you need a basket! I found this one on Amazon to be a nice big size to hold everything. I filled the bottom with some green paper basket filler.
- Baseball charging block
- Gold number necklace (using your player’s number)
- Dirty Mids bracelet. My player loves these! They come in a few different color combinations with inspirational sayings.
- Eye black. I love this Easton eye black set with an included mirror (great for gifting), as well as these fun eye black fusion sticks (get them in your team colors or a color combo that matches your player’s drip).
- Arm sleeve. You can do a Bruce Bolt arm sleeve to match their Bruce Bolt batting gloves (I chose this mint color that matches my son’s Tatis Bruce Bolts gloves), or choose another with a fun pattern or inspirational message.
- Every Easter basket needs a plushie! The Stitches Bear from Baseballism is always a winner (use code RLB for 15% off!), but I also love this cute Aurora 4-inch Plush (pictured), and this 5-inch Plush with Hat (not pictured) is a cute option as well.
- Baseball Easter eggs filled with baseball chocolate candies
- Topp’s Easter Egg Tin or any pack of baseball cards. These Easter-themed cards come out every year in decorative tins (with different color combinations to match your other Easter basket fillings) and can be found at a number of stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Walmart, Scheels, and GameStop.
- A bubble gum baseball bat is always a winner for a baseball Easter basket. I used the Dubble Bubble Gumball Baseball Bat, but there’s also a Big League Chew Bat.
- Big League Chew
- Sunflower seeds (use your player’s favorite brand and flavors)
- Sports drink (get your player’s favorite flavor)
- Other fun additions for an Easter basket for baseball players (I didn’t need these for Easter since we just got our son some for a Christmas stocking stuffer, but they’re perfect for baseball Easter baskets too): Fun bat grip tape, Big Fly Bat Grip Spray
