Easter is one of my favourite times of year as my daughter is a spring baby (she was born on Good Friday, and claims that’s why she loves chocolate, haha!). I love creating special traditions with her, and doing an Easter basket, having an egg hunt with her cousins, and a special family lunch are just so fun. This year, she’ll be wearing this beautiful dress from Rachel Riley (it’s giving me flower fairy vibes!), and I’m filling this drawstring bunny bag from Meri Meri for her.
Below are some of my top Easter basket picks for little ones of all ages.
what I put in my kid’s easter basket this year
Best non chocolate Easter ideas for babies
Baby’s first Easter is such a cute milestone to mark. Obviously babies won’t be eating lots of chocolate Easter eggs, so it’s lovely to gift little ones something spring or bunny-themed. Some of my favourites include The genius Cloud B LoveLight Bunny from Scandiborn, which plays soothing sounds, and has a nightlight and cry sensor; the super pretty BIBS X Liberty collection of dummy accessories; this adorable bunny toy from Avery Row, the bunny collection from Love to Dream; and this dreamy bunny towel from MORI.
Simple Easter basket fillers toddlers
It’s so cute when little ones start to understand what Easter is all about. If you’re planning a chocolate hunt, I love the mini chicks and bunnies from Lindt (they remind me so much of my own childhood!). Non chocolate ideas include some Easter pyjamas from MORI; wooden toys from Le Toy Van (like this cute rabbit hutch!); and this super sweet mini bunny in an egg from Jojo Maman Bebe.
Best Easter gift ideas for big kids
There’s so many gorgeous things for bigger kids! These are some of the things I’ll be giving to my daughter… First up, the Easter collection from Rockahula has it all – from dress up, to hair clips, and play jewellery; I also love the Maileg collection at Scandiborn (my daughter collects this!); Monsoon Children is also great for little accessories, No Nasties for play make up (they have cute easter gift sets); ErgoPouch for the prettiest and softest spring pyjamas; the Easter collection at Meri Meri (I love this bunny cupcake kit and sweet bunny candle for the Easter table!); this Liewood keyring at Scandiborn is perfect for my daughter’s school book bag; and finally, my daughter has asked for a big chocolate Lindt bunny instead of an Easter egg this year.
