Happy Monday! I’ve had so much fun collecting these fun unEaster Basket gifts for you!
Ready for today’s fabulousness? I’ve found some awesome companies (really, ministries) that are offering their awesome products for you to win! These are the perfect gifts to put in an unEaster Basket or for anytime!
If you don’t get to do any Jesus-focused Easter activities this year (I know how time gets away from you and life gets busy!), I challenge you to make your kids’ Easter baskets full of gifts that will help your child grow in the Lord. Use it as an opportunity to plant God’s Word in their heart! And let your kids know, “This is a special basket this year. We celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection today. I want you to grow up with Jesus. These gifts will help you do that. These presents will help you know Jesus more!”
Ready?
I don’t know where I first heard of Baby Be Blessed but ever since I saw the first one, I have wanted one! (OK, wanted one for my kids!) These are the sweetest little dolls handmade by four mamas. You get to pick out the doll, the hair, the clothes AND the Bible verse they sew right to the doll! Tina, the founder says, “It is just simply giving back everything to Him! This includes all the gifts and talents the Holy Spirit has given to each of us. We are to use them to Glorify the Father through Jesus Christ.”
Isn’t that awesome? Just think about your little one holding onto a doll that says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart!” or “When I am afraid, I trust in you!”. I wish Lydia had one of these with a brave-scripture on it, when she was struggling with fear at bedtime!
My kids love place mats. We have Princesses, Cars, a USA map and more. It is honestly amazing how much we talk about those little place mats. The kids genuinely look at them and think about which one they want to use at every meal.
Well, how perfect are Tabletop Truths’ Scripture place mats? All of them are made from affirming Scriptures perfect for your kids to meditate on (even unwittingly) as they eat! I love this Armor of God one for Asa. He is waay into Roman Soldiers right now (because of the guards at the tomb)…
They have boy and girl versions of almost every place mat. And even holiday versions like this one…
I love love love this! Just another way to put God’s Word in your house and in front of your kids! Lisa and Sara, the founders of Tabletop Truths have the same heart as me, “Our desire is to give you easy tools to incorporate God’s Word into your daily routine.” They are my new BFFs.
3. Hidden in My Heart: Scripture Lullabies
You know I love Seeds, the Rizers and anyone else that puts Scripture to music. My good friend, Teesha Laflin sent me an email after Children’s Pastors Conference and said, “Amanda! You must do something with Scripture Lullabies on your blog!”
And I’m so glad I’ve met them! Their albums (two of them!) are beautiful lullabies set to Scripture. I wish I’d had these when my kiddos were babies so I could have years of rocking them and swaddling them to these songs! Every song is beautiful, well-written and easy to remember!
Oh, my. I have pages and pages to write on What’s In The Bible. These videos are the brain child of Phil Vischer, creator of Veggie Tales. And it is full of puppets. So, we all know that they are my new very favorite videos in the world.
What’s in the Bible? was also a sponsor at Relevant (now Allume) this year and I got to know them a little bit—enough to know that I want to do something big with them here on Impress Your Kids. (Just wait till this summer, I’ve got a fun plan!)
Anywhoo–these videos are 1)hilarious 2)silly 3)sing-a-long-able and stuck-in-your-head-all-day-able 4)full of God’s Word. Your kids will learn the full story of the Bible as they travel through the Bible book by book, story by story to see the whole picture of the Bible. The goal of What’s in the Bible? is to bring Bible literacy to this generation–in a fun and completely crazy-fun way, of course!
So, go ahead, buy some Reese’s cups and a new Easter outfit for your kiddos, but don’t forget to slide something in there that will encourage their faith in Jesus, too!
I have never seen the baby be blessed site! i’m following them now on facebook and am certain i will order one for my little girl in the near future!! love all the items in the basket!! awesome!
I loved all of the things in this post, but my favorite and one that was new to me was Tabletop Truths. I would love these placemats for my little ones who are ten, seven, and four. Thanks for the post and the great ideas for their baskets to help them grow in the Lord.
Most of these are new to me and so is your website but I will come back often! Thanks for putting this list together.
What great Easter gifts! All of these are new to me and all things I’d love to put in my kiddos’ Easter baskets.
I hadn’t heard of Tabletop Truths prior to reading this post. I think this would be great for my daughter!
I LOVE What’s in the Bible. Our church just started using the curriculum and I am learning just as much as the kids!
I’d never heard of the scripture lullabies, but would live to try them with my little boy! He lives music, and I would love to hear him singing scriptures as he gets older!
They are all new to me! How have I never heard of any of these great companies?!?!
My girls love their Baby Blessed Dolls, “Ellie Dolly” and “Ada Dolly.” They have been such a great way to share the Gospel with children at the park, playdates, etc.
I had never heard of Tabletop Truths but am so excited. My 7 year old son has been overtaken by the Holy Spirit in the past few weeks and has been called to baptism on Easter Sunday. He would love the Armor of God placemat.
Thank you so much for this and for all you do to help minister to all of us mommies who long to share the Gospel with their children in age-appropriate hands on way!!
Honestly all these companies are new to me! I am loving the place mats. What a great visual to teach my son about the armor of God.
What a great idea with Tabletop Truths! My boys are always fighting over the placemats and the Armor of God is one I wouldn’t mind if they did!
I like the placemats – my kids would enjoy those!
I’ve never heard of Tabletop Truths and I love those place mats. I’m definitely excited to check them out!
These gift ideas are fabulous!!! Love them all! Off to check the websites out. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Do I have to pick just one new favorite! :)I like the Baby Be Blessed for sure. And my sons love placemats as well so The Tabletop Truths will be a winner in our house.
I always love your suggestions by the way. I have never been disappointed with any product you have recommended. Thanks for sharing so many great resources to help me teach my sons God’s Word.
Love the dolls! I’ve been looking for something like that for my daughter’s birthday.
This is awesome! I love the Baby Be Blessed – I’ve never heard of them before, but what a beautiful idea!!!!

I have never seen the Tabletop Truths. Love it!
Our girls received Baby Be Blessed dolls for Christmas this year and they adore them! So sweet!
All of these are new to be besides What’s in the Bible. They all look fabulous. Thanks so much!
Baby Be Blessed has been a favorite of mine for a while now!
I absolutely LOVE Baby Be Blessed!! I have not heard of these other companies, but can’t wait to check them out!
With the exception of “What’s In The Bible”, all of these companies are new to me. The videos are so wonderfully made. We don’t watch much TV at home, but we’re bringing our DVDs along on a 9 hour car trip this summer. My kids will love watching them to help pass the time!
I had to click through and check out every website listed, as these products are so beautiful and inspiring! I can definitely imagine getting a Baby Be Blessed doll for my little girl as a Christmas present or for her next birthday. Such pretty dolls, and such a wonderful purpose!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
WOW what great products! My little girl would love the Baby be blessed doll and my son would flip over the placemats! Have to go check out their website, such great gift ideas 🙂
I like the Tabletop Truths–not seem them before.
I can’t wait to check out the What’s in the bible series. I keep hearing about it and know my kids would love it!
Wow! All these companies are new to me except “What’s in the Bible? ” I love the Baby be Blessed dolls. What a keepsake! I will be passing that one on to friends for sure to check out!
The table mats are new to me and I think they are super!!! Heading over to their site to check them out! Baby Be Blessed-I ordered a baby for my baby this year and we both love it to pieces!!!! Thanks for the chance to win some fabulous gifts!
Honestly, they are all new to me and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I took some of your suggestions from your original “un Easter” basket post and, if I don’t win ;), will certainly check out these sites. I am particularly excited about the adorable Scripture dolls (for my 2 little girls) and the Scripture lullabies for my baby (my big kids share a room and listen to praise lullabies as they sleep). Again, you are amazing! Thanks for the inspiration
I mean, I’m going to check out their sites even if I don’t win. Great birthday, first communion, baptism, end-of-school gift ideas here…
We have been supporters of Baby Be Blessed for years. What a wonderful keepsake for our children to have in their lives when they need encouragement from His word.
Oh my goodness…these are all so great!! I have been eyeing Hidden in my Heart. My kids would LOVE all of these!
All of these products are new to me, and super excited about all of them! Especially tabletop truths -never seen anything like it!
I LOVE the Baby Be Loved dolls! How incredibly adorable and what a beautiful gift to our children (scripture!)
Since my youngest is 4–my older 2 are 6 and almost 8, all of these are new to me–I feel very out of it! BUT we are joyously expecting baby #4 (after 3 miscarriages) so I’m excited to learn all over again.
These are all great!! I especially LOVE the dolls by Baby Be Blessed!! They are new to me but my girls would adore them! 🙂
All of these companies are new to me except Baby be Blessed. We purchased a BbB doll for our oldest daughter for her birthday last year. It is so special. I’m excited to learn more about these other companies.
i love baby be blessed! and naptime diaries is new to me…can’t wait to check them out! 🙂
The Tabletop Truths look great!
Thanks,
Caterina
The only one I have heard of is What’s in the Bible, but I’ve never seen any videos. The dolls look amazing too!
What’s in The Bible! We’re big Veg Tales fans around here, and if it’s from the same makers, it must be awesome!
I just heard of the Baby Be Blessed dolls last week and now today. I love the personalization of them and the scripture.
I have never heard of Tabletop Truths but I absolutely love this idea!!Such a perfectly easy way to get more verses in front of my children each day!
Hidden in my Heart CDs are something I have longed for for a while now. The music is so beautiful and soothing. I also really love those dolls. What a great idea!
Love Baby Be Blessed! I have a doll for each of my girls. I’ve not seem the placemats but they are cute!!
I have to comment towards Baby Be Blessed. This ministry hits close to home because Tina is my sister. Every doll made is made with so much love for the Lord and every single child. What a blessing!
I have seen the What’s in the bible videos mentioned on a blog before, but have yet to actually see them. I tried seeing if our local library had them, but sadly they don’t. I would love to see it! I think my son would enjoy them.
