Did Easter sneak up on anyone else this year? Believe it or not Easter is coming this weekend and if you’re not quite ready yet, no worries! I’ve partnered with Smart & Final to bring you some last minute Easter ideas. From centerpieces to Easter baskets, I’ve got some ideas to share with you that your family will love. I’m all about walking that line between simple and spectacular and these last minute ideas definitely seem harder than they are! This post is in partnership with Smart & Final, all opinions are my own.
“One Trip & That’s It” at Smart & Final
We love shopping at Smart & Final because it’s so convenient. There are no membership fees or big warehouse to try and navigate through. I also love that I can always find a great deal on quality products, including fresh produce duct and delicious meat. Their First Street and Sun Harvest brands provide a great value on great products. Plus, I love their bulk bins for filling up on snacks for my kiddos!
The best news is that you can now access Smart & Final Digital Coupons! Through the app you can get exclusive savings and receive 15% off your first trip when you download the app and register. Don’t worry–Smart & Final’s everyday low pricing and promotions aren’t going anywhere. The new digital coupons are just a way to get an even better deal than before.

creating an Easter centerpiece
I love browsing through the fresh florals at Smart & Final. We even purchased some mini roses from there to decorate the tables at our Magical Media Retreat in January! My local store sells succulents all year that I love looking at, and right now their spring flowers are perfect for an impressive last minute Easter centerpiece. I seriously think that greenery is the best centerpiece for any table so picking up some cut florals or live plants are the perfect simple addition to your Easter brunch or dinner!

easy Easter baskets
If you need some last minute help with Easter baskets look no further than the end caps at Smart & Final. I found jump ropes, chalk, doll accessories, and plenty of candy of course! Plus, they even have Easter baskets that are completely put together. Whether you still need to do some shopping for your own kids or are maybe looking for a fun hostess gift for someone with little ones, it’s easy to pick up Easter basket goodies while you’re picking up your other needs!
Easter egg hunt fun
Not only does Smart & Final have tons of candies and plastic eggs for your Easter egg hunt, they even sell eggs that are already filled! that’s right, the hard part is done for you so all you have to do is grab a package and you’re good to go! My local store had several different designs of eggs that my kids would love!

planning your Easter meals
Of course, Smart & Final is most known for their groceries and they don’t disappoint for Easter! If you’re hosting Easter brunch you can stock up on eggs, fruit, and pastries. Don’t forget your First Street orange juice (you can even find it in their online Easter aisle) and sparkling cider! Or if you’re hosting Easter dinner this year you can pick up your ham and all the fixings. I decided to pick up these chocolate chip muffins so my kids could have some fun decorating them while I finish all the last minute Easter prep. It’s perfect hack for semi-homemade cupcakes!
