When Easter rolls around, it’s easy to think of chocolate eggs as the go-to gift. While they’re delicious, they also mean lots of sugary treats around the house. Whether you’re reducing sugar intake, dealing with allergies, or simply looking for something different, there are plenty of non-chocolate options that make great Easter gifts. Here are 5 ideas that can make your Easter celebration just as special.

1. Spring Outfit

Why not give a lovely spring outfit? It’s practical and can be worn throughout the season, making it a gift that lasts longer than a chocolate egg. Whether you go for something Easter-themed or a more neutral style, the recipient will appreciate having a fresh new piece to wear. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly option as it’s something that will get plenty of use.

2. Spring-Themed Book

Books are always a fantastic gift, especially when they’re tied to the season. A spring or Easter-themed story can spark a child’s imagination while also helping them develop their literacy skills. One of our current favourites is Tom Fletcher’s There’s a Bunny in My Book, which has become a bedtime staple in our house.

3. Cup and Plate Set

A cute cup or plate set is always a hit with kids, especially when it’s Easter or spring-themed. My children absolutely love receiving these, and it’s something they’ll use all year round. Whether it’s a bunny-shaped plate or a pastel-coloured cup, it’s a fun and functional gift that makes meal times more exciting.

4. Soft Toy

Soft toys are timeless keepsakes that can bring comfort for years to come. Giving a soft toy with an Easter or spring theme creates a lasting memory that your child can cuddle and play with. Whether it’s a plush bunny or a chick, it’ll be a gift that stays close to their heart.

5. Easter Crafts

Craft kits are a wonderful way to keep children entertained and engaged. Easter crafts, like decorating eggs or making springtime cards, let them get creative while learning new skills. Plus, it can be a fun activity to do together as a family. This year we made Easter bonnets which our girls and they both absolutely loved it.

Our Final Thoughts

Easter chocolate is a delicious treat, and like many, we’ll be giving it to our children too. But if you’re looking to add a little variety this year, why not consider some different? These gifts offer a fun break from the sugar overload and create lasting memories, whether through practical items or exciting activities. There’s plenty of room to celebrate Easter in a range of ways. Happy Easter!
