Personalized Canvas Tote
A natural canvas tote personalized with your child’s name will be useful long after the Easter bunny has hopped away. Use it instead of an Easter basket or tuck it into a basket as a filler. Perfect for library visits, daycare, school, or shopping trips afterward. Check out all of the different bunny styles besides this one.
Personalized Cross
Make one for each of your children to have a meaningful item for Easter each year. The handmade keepsake personalized cross will be treasured for years.
Easter Books
Any book will be a great filler for an Easter basket, but check out this Easter pop-up book for lots of fun!
Here’s a few more gift ideas that you could use in an Easter basket:
Organic Easter Candies
Many kids expect the Easter bunny to leave some sort of sweet treats in their basket. If you’re looking for some better candy options, check these out:
For the classic solid chocolate Easter bunny, you must get Lake Champlain’s candy bunnies made in Vermont. They come individually wrapped in milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate.
If they like Peeps, then try these SMASHMALLOW snackable marshmallows in the most unusual flavors. They have an Easter pack with individually wrapped treats made with organic cane sugar.
These organic gummy bunnies and bears in Easter packs are among my favorite treats.
I’ve shared how I think these chewy fruities are a great Starburst alternative, but made with ingredients that I’m more comfortable with.
What to Stuff an Easter Basket With
Most people buy a bag of plastic Easter grass to use to stuff an Easter Basket. But did you know there are lots of alternatives?
We love growing your own Easter grass or using something more sustainable to fill your Easter basket. Here’s 9 alternatives to plastic Easter grass this year.
Natural Easter Egg Dyes
I’ve gathered all of my favorite natural Easter egg dyes recipes together in one blog post so be sure to check them out!
Be sure to download our free printable of natural Easter egg dyes, too. There are a few more in the printable that I don’t have on the blog.
If you are looking for specific egg dye colors, these how-to guides can help you create colorful Easter eggs:
