Easter is fast-approaching, and my kids are looking forward to spending time with family and celebrating Jesus. I am looking forward to everything about Easter EXCEPT for the potential sugar-bomb that comes with Easter egg hunts and baskets. To prepare for this, I came up with a list of 75 non-candy Easter Basket gift ideas that aren’t sugar-based.
I plan to use this as inspiration to craft a lovely basket for each child that encourages their imaginations, not their sweet tooth!

Great list! I don’t usually do Easter baskets, but I like these ideas and may have to use some of them. My kids would especially love the face paint!
Lena Gott says
My family never did Easter baskets, but my husband always got one, so I’m learning all about them now that we have kids. 😉
Lena Gott says
Of course!
Melissa says
I will be pinning this for next Easter. Thanks for the idea. I don’t always do baskets. This year I did an activity book and a chocolate bunny.
