Baskets & Bunnies

Build an Easter basket around a plush bunny or toy as the centerpiece, then add small treats, a book, a craft or activity, and a few practical-but-fun items like socks or hair accessories. Fill gaps with paper grass. Mix a couple of special items with smaller stuffers for a basket that feels generous but not over the top.

Great non-candy options include plush bunnies, small toys, books, crafts, bubbles, stickers, sidewalk chalk, and hair accessories. They are perfect for families cutting back on sugar, and kids love them just as much. A plush bunny plus a few small toys and activities makes a sweet, candy-free basket.

A medium basket is the most versatile, big enough to look generous once filled but not so large it needs a mountain of stuffers. For toddlers, a smaller basket suits little hands; for a bigger gift, size up. Choose a sturdy, reusable basket you can bring out year after year.
