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 LOVED the placemats! Such a great idea. And the Scripture Lullabies are amazing! Cant wait to check them all out.
ALL of these companies are new to me – and I am very excited to check out Baby Be Blessed. What a great idea!
Love “What’s in the Bible”…..definitely a favorite from our jellytelly days.

All of these products are new to me. I loved all the sights but especially loved the Baby Be Blessed. Since my grandchildren are from ages 1 year to 11 … I’d also love to win, because there is something for everybody! ; )

We can’t wait to check out Baby Be Blessed. We are so excited about all the products in the UnEaster basket. Wish this had been around when I was a kid!
I love the tabletop truths placemats! I know my kids would love them and it would be a great way to spark conversation about the Lord. What I love best is that they would be the ones most likely starting the conversation…rather than it always being me. What a great idea!!
Oh my i looooove baby be blessed! What an awesome gift idea!
I’m totally getting the scripture lullaby CD for myself…and some of the placemats!!
I LOVE my scripture lullaby cd! I didn’t know they had two of them now….

Tabletop Truths is the only one that is new to me. I got Caitlyn a Baby Be Blessed doll for her birthday this year. I also love Scripture Lullabies … I haven’t gotten the new one yet. I’ve started collecting the What’s in the Bible DVD when I can find them on sale. Whoever wins this will be very lucky 🙂 I will have to go check out table top truths.
A friend recently introduced me to your website and I’m excited about exploring new ideas as I teach my little ones about Jesus. Thanks for this list of Christian companies. I am familiar with the scripture lullaby CD. Love it! I haven’t heard of Baby Be Blessed
or Tabletop Truths placemats. Thanks for introducing me to them!
All of these companies are new to me and I can’t wait to visit them all!!!!!
The tabletop placemats looked so cool! I would love two! 🙂
I can’t wait to check out Scripture Lullabies – I’m due with baby #2 in six weeks and would love to sing scripture over him!

The Baby be Blessed dolls are really cute. I especially liked the lamb.
All of these companies are new to me. I just stumbled upon your great blog. I’m excited to explore it now!

I love Baby Be Blessed. Such a precious idea, but I don’t have one for my daughter yet! I also love the idea of Tabletop Truths. Never heard of them!
Hi, Amanda! I have never heard of any of these organizations, but these ministries are certainly a blessing to others! I am excited to learn more about Baby Be Blessed. One of my new friends is about to have a little girl with a severe heart defect and I think one of these precious dolls would be a great accesory and encouragement in the PICU!
All are such great ideas!!! Love them all! I think I love especially the Baby Be Blessed dolls for my little girl.
I am excited about Baby Be blessed. We just had a little girl 2 months ago and I’m excited to get her a doll that will remind her about her true identity.
These are such great ideas! I haven’t heard of some of these companies! Thanks for great new ideas.
wow, these are all super awesome!! most of them are new to me and they all look great! i really like the placemats though. those would be big hits in our house!
Amazing haul, Amanda!!! I haven’t seen Tabletop Truths yet – but I love it. Elias has memorized presidents and some multiplication facts off of the placemats we got from Walmart… we need to switch them out for God’s word!!!
I love all these companies and I am excited to purchase some things from them. Especially love Baby Be Blessed, must have for my two girls!
