Easter baskets on demand at local stores
In the midst of the all the COVID-19 chaos, we were shocked to realize that Easter is indeed only a little more than a week away. The afternoon we would have spent shopping for goodies to fill Easter baskets passed in a daze, as each day seems to run together from the socially distanced bounds of our own homes. However, all hope is not lost. Local stores are stepping up to the plate by offering ready-to-go baskets that don’t even require you to get out of your car. Talk about a quarantine win.
“Under the circumstances of this time, you can call and tell us ‘boy’ or ‘girl’ and the amount you would like to spend,” explains Katie Shoriak, owner of Victoria’s Toy Station, of the highly personalized baskets the store puts out, which include monogramming, sibling sets and even special wrapping. “You will be able to drive up and we will bring it to your car.”
To help ease the stress of last-minute, long-distance shopping, we rounded up a few stores that are equipped to make Easter Bunny dreams come true on a tight schedule. Tap the posts for purchasing information:

Victoria’s Toy Station’s Easter offerings are online this year. If parents want to choose each individual basket item, they can do so here. Shoriak suggests combining books and toys with some of the store’s bunny-themed sweet treats. Or, parents can simply call the store and let the team there do the rest. Also, don’t forget to add a custom monogrammed lining for your child’s basket. Too cute to pass up.

While Giggles’ storefront is closed, shopping is available by calling the store or scrolling through Instagram. Giggles also offers “gift valet,” in which gift buyers simply give the child’s age and the desired price range and the store will help create the perfect gift. The store is offering shipping or curbside pickup.
