I am a gift giver – it’s one of my languages. I don’t fill like filling an Easter basket full of candy and junk though. I’m also a fan of making fancy gifts and presentation of stuff I’d buy them anyway. That being said, here are ten candy-free Easter basket ideas.

Books
In my house, books are a part of all seasons & all gifts. You can either find holiday-related books for little ones or if you have a voracious reader, you could include some new books, a book light, and a few bookmarks.
Do you do big Easter baskets in your house?

On snap! I was just thinking up items to thin out the candy part of the Easter baskets when WHAM! I see your post. Fantastic. I’ve been trying to incorporate one meaningful (ie. religious) gift for the big holidays. Since our girls are still tiny, I decided on their saint’s name cards. A stuffed lamb? Duh. Why didn’t I think of that!
