I recently visited the new Gabe’s store in Madison, Alabama and found so many great Easter basket fillers for my toddler. Keep reading for a sneak peek at the new store + tons of Easter basket ideas!
GABE’S GRAND OPENING – MADISON, AL

Old Time Pottery in Madison, Alabama is now Gabe’s! The change comes after Gabe’s acquisition of Old Time Pottery in 2023. Our local Old Time Pottery has slowly been making changes, but recently closed for a few weeks to complete the full transition. Their grand re-opening was this month and I couldn’t wait to get in-store to see all the new updates!
The first thing I noticed was that there were SO MANY clothes! Gabe’s had a huge selection of clothing and there were so many great brands that I love. I was especially impressed with their selection of children’s clothing, but they had great clothing for ladies and men as well.

Gabe’s also has home decor, florals, toys, kitchenware and more! The store is huge and I found so many amazing deals.





EASTER BASKET IDEAS
My Gabe’s location had a ton of adorable blankets and I just knew I had to snag one. A fun Easter basket idea is lining the basket with a cute blanket (instead of that messy grass) like I did below.


EASTER BASKET FILLER IDEAS
- Bubbles, water balloons, sidewalk chalk – anything to play with outside!
- Activity sets like the Peppa Pig one I found – it comes with coloring pages, crayons, and stickers.
- Books – I love the dry erase Search & Find one I found at Gabe’s.
- Cups – My daughter always loves getting a fun cup.
- Small toys – dolls, cars, or character figurines are always a hit.
- Crayons, markers, colored pencils – anything to be creative.
- Clothing – While at Gabe’s, I got my daughter a couple pairs of shorts from our favorite athletic brand that I’m also going to include.
- Makeup kit, nail polish, a purse, etc. – Gabe’s had SO many adorable purses for girls. I wanted them all!

I was so impressed by everything I found in-store at Gabe’s and I cannot wait to see what I’ll find next time! Do you have a Gabe’s location where you live?
