Ooooo so many awesome basket ideas!!!!! I love the whole no candy idea. Kids can actually use all of these items!
What What a great idea. I definitely I will try not to buy sweet things for my kids and buy more educational toy this Easter.
There’s so much candy around Easter time. It’s good to see some non candy ideas for other options. Thanks for sharing this with us.
These are all lovely gift ideas! I think my niece would love the egg decorator the most. It looks fun!
These are great ideas. I remember trying to find things besides candy for my kids’ Easter Baskets. Some years were a lot tougher than others.
These are some great ideas! I do give my kids some candy, but it would be nice to have a little less candy and more other stuff.
I love these ideas! I like to do a mixture of candy and toys like this. My kids are getting some slime!
These are some great ideas – it is amazing what you can come up with for Easter which isn’t chocolate!
This is full of so many great ideas. I’ve never seen a slap bracelet like that before! I would’ve loved that as a kid.
Wow what a beautiful idea and so much items to switch candy for. I like this and using this idea for my kids.
A lot of these are definitely great alternatives! Holidays don’t always mean that you need to be unhealthy and the candy and sugar overload might not be the best!
What a cute and fun idea for my Easter gift basket. The kids would absolutely love this. Hope I could buy them all.
Those were really cute. Everyone is so excited for Easter and my kids would be so happy to see these on their Easter basket.
These are some fantastic ideas if you want to avoid giving too much candy in Easter baskets this year. I’ll definitely be considering some of these.
I love the no candy ideas. The kids in my house act like crazy monsters when they eat too much candy so non cany ideas are the way to go!
