Easter is a big deal for kids. It’s basically the one day of the year where you’re guaranteed chocolate.
So with that in mind, perhaps let’s look at some chocolate-free gifts.
No but really. The chocolate eggs are great, and always a crowd pleaser. But when your kids are receiving a separate egg from anyone they’ve ever met, it gets to be a bit much.
Easter is a big deal for kids, yes, but let’s make it last. Let’s create a memory, rather than a white-tinged egg in purple foil.
Baby’s first Easter
Spring is all about birth. So why not give an Easter-themed gift to any new bundle of joy?
Binky the Bunny is a great place to start. Suitable from birth, Binky comes packaged inside a keepsake match box, a toy designed to be kept and loved. Small enough to fit in a pocket, Binky is ready for on-the-go Easter adventures.
And for babies starting to explore textures and colours, Jo and Nic’s Crinkly Farm Comic is ideal. Encouraging early language development whilst also being machine washable, it really does tick every box.
Easter toys for toddlers
What toddler doesn’t love Easter? There’s really nothing not to like – so why not make it extra special with a gift that differentiates the day, creating a lasting memory.
For those taking the egg hunt dress code seriously, Mimi and Lula have you covered. The Bunny Cape will keep you both warm and stylish, and who wouldn’t pair it with the matching Easter Bunny Basket? Both endlessly soft (and practical!), these are the pieces your children will be getting out again and again for Easter celebrations years to come.
Or if you’re going for more of a retro vibe, go for the Sun Jellies Retro Basket. A fully collapsable jelly bag, it’s the perfect companion for both Easter Sunday and the Summer to come.
Easter toys for 3+
The weather is not always on our side at Easter. But that doesn’t mean no fun.
Easter is full of stories, something kids can get involved with through some imaginative role-play. The Tender Leaf Chicken Coop is the perfect standalone or companion toy, encouraging children to play out their own Spring-based stories.
And who can forget the Easter Bunny? The Chunki Chilli Rabbit Hand Puppet is perfect for endless retellings of the Bunny’s travels this Easter.
Easter Gifts under £15
Easter gifts do not need to be expensive to be memorable. And they do not need to be edible. Even kids can only eat so much chocolate in a day (...right?).
And who says we even have to look for eggs? Why not keep an eye out for a Schleich White Tailed Fawn instead? Or a Schleich Rooster? Schleich is built to last, making this fawn a lasting character in everyday play.
Or create excitement for days to come with the Mimi and Lula Stick-on Earrings. Containing 25 pairs, fun is to be had every morning as you pick out a brand new set for each new day.
Easter decorations
Christmas means the smell of tinsel, the rainbow lights, and that certain feeling of nostalgia you can’t quite put your finger on.
Easter can have that too.
These are the decorations that become part of your family traditions – the ones you can’t wait to bring out year after year.
Meri Meri has typically got this down. Their Paper Flower Garland in collaboration with Liberty is an instant Easter classic, something anyone would be excited to get back out of the box every year.
The Meri Meri Felt Bunny Garland is another beautiful option, and so is the East End Press Egg Hunt Sewn Garland.
As you decorate together, a tradition is born, and the excitement for the big day grows.
