130+ Unique, No-Candy Easter Basket Stuffers

With Spring on its way, that also means that Easter will so be here before we know it. I’ve mentioned before that my favorite part of Christmas is stockings – putting together and receiving – so it’s no wonder that I also love Easter baskets!

The big issue is that, like stockings, Easter baskets are often stuffed full of candy and not much else. I’ve combed my mind and the interwebs to put together a giant list of items you can put into your kiddos Easter baskets that won’t give them a sugar high. I broke it down into vague categories and one day I might break it down further, but for now, I hope this list helps get your creative mind thinking and that with it, you’ll be able to make an Easter Basket that will blow your kiddos away!

Easter Basket Stuffers For Babies

Admittedly, I’m not a huge advocate for getting babies big gifts for random holidays, I think the sentiment is still nice. I like getting babies simple things that I need anyway or that are super useful and practical. Here are a few of my favorite baby easter basket ideas.

Pacifiers. This one is a Wubbanub that looks like a little bunny, so perfect for Easter!
Pacifier clip. I never needed paci clips until my second, but seriously, these are INVALUABLE.
Sippy cups or bottle. If your little is hitting 6 months, grab a cute sippy cup to encourage them.
Mesh Feeder. Again, perfect if you kid is coming to the 6 months stage. An easy way to try whole foods without worrying about choking.
Teether. In my humble opinion, you can NEVER have enough teethers! This one looks like a little carrot.
Rattle. My boys love anything that makes noise and always have. These are perfect for little hands.
Oball toy. These are the best of both worlds and the ONLY baby toy I bought my boys. They have different kinds, from a rattle to a car to Disney characters.
Finger puppets. My MIL bought Ryan a tiny set of finger puppets when he was a baby and both boys still love them.
Little People toys. Not only are these super cute and baby friendly, but the Little People toys are something they can grow into!
VTech phone. This phone is super loud and can be annoying, but the buttons, sounds, and lights make it a baby magnet.
Bib. Again, like pacifiers, you can never ever have enough bibs! This one is perfect for baby’s first Easter.
Stroller toys. It’s almost stroller walk season! Keep your tiny kiddo entertained with a few stroller toys.

Practical Easter Basket Stuffers:

Let’s be honest – things like Easter Baskets can often become a source of junk that breaks in a day and litters your house. I think adding a few practical items that you either need or will use a lot as Easter basket stuffers is such a great idea. Make them more exciting for kiddos by buying options with their favorite characters.

Character Plates. Surprise your kiddo with a fun new set of plates featuring their favorite characters in their Easter basket. This Paw Patrol one is in my cart!
A Fun Cup. A fun cup is always welcome. I love the Zak Designs cups because they’re durable and come in tons of designs, from Disney to Pokemon.
Silverware. These little construction equipment forks and spoons are too stinking cute.
Sunglasses. My boys LOVE sunglasses. These ones are funky Easter bunny ones but still useful!
Hat. With spring and summer on the way, why not add a fun little hat to keep the sun out of their eyes?
Umbrella or Raincoat. Again, these are practical Easter basket ideas, but get them themed version and your kids will love it!
Toothbrush, Kid’s toothpaste, and Kid’s mouthwash. I always get new toothbrushes for stockings and Easter baskets.
Bandaids. Another essential – what kid doesn’t love throwing a fun bandage on a booboo?
Water bottle. These are my all time favorite water bottles – super durable and never leak. We can always use more of them.
Hairbrush. What little girl doesn’t need a new hairbrush? This little Tangle pets one makes me want a little girl!
Bows. Also, see bows. Because a little girl can never have enough hair bows.
Flashlight. My kids love the idea of flashlights and this kid-friendly version is both useful AND cute.
Headphones. Perfect for tablet time so you don’t have to hear the obnoxious game noises.
Nightlight. Ryan has a star nightlight but it’s on it’s way out. We need a backup!
Character Tissue pack. Spring allergies are in the air. These are perfect for throwing in your bag for little noses.
