The Canadiens have put together some baskets that would make even the Easter Bunny jealous this spring.

From chocolates, to homeware, to autographed sticks, and more, Habs players hand-picked some of their favorite things to assemble personalized gift baskets as part of an initiative with the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation.
The baskets are currently up for bid at the
NHL Auctions website
, and all proceeds will benefit underprivileged youth.
Aside from being the ultimate collector's items, the players' panniers also offer some rare glimpses into the Canadiens' daily lives.
Outdoorsman Carey Price for instance,
offers up a basket with so much camo gear
, you could almost not spot it online, while Victor Mete -- one of the team's resident gamers --
includes a 12-month Playstation Plus membership
.

Forward Paul Byron meanwhile gets extra personal,
and will also take part in a one-hour skating session with his winning bidder
.
A total of 16 players took part in this year's activity --
plus owner Geoff Molson
-- but it appears not everyone could stick to their own baskets.
At least, that's how Brendan Gallagher is explaining
the copy of Fifty Shades Freed that slipped into his offering
, but we won't name names.
The auctions run through March 22, and can be browsed right now by clicking
