I have to admit that we do give the kids candy for Easter. I’ve never been one to buy lots of candy. But, on holidays, it’s fun to give a little. I usually fill some plastic eggs with candy for the kids on Easter, and we do a small Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before the holiday.
With food allergies and dietary restrictions becoming ever more widespread, however, it’s a good idea to find non-candy Easter basket goodies. Whether you’re filling baskets for your kids or looking for Easter goodies for family and friends, here are ten non-candy Easter basket gifts you can give. (If you’re looking for some great book gifts for Easter baskets, check out this post.)

These eggs sit in water and begin “hatching” within twenty-four hours. A set contains four pets- a chick, a frog, a bunny, and a duck. The fun is in watching the eggs hatch, but the kids can then keep the cute figures to play with.
