For me, that search led me to Jesus at a young age, and finding Jesus and his Father are the best "Easter basket" I've found. For those that find Jesus, and follow his example into baptism, and how he led his life and taught about his Father, can have the best gift in life.

John 3:16 NASB For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

The search for a special gift in life can lead to a precious gift of eternal life. So at Easter when you are searching for your Easter baskets think about Jesus being the ultimate find, since it is only through the son, that we can reach the Father.

John 14:6 (NASB)

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NASB)
But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

Proverbs 8:17 (NASB)

Jeremiah 29:13 (NASB)
