I know that everyone loves sweets, but these Easter gifts that aren’t candy are a great alternative for people who are watching their sugar intake.

8 Fun Easter Gifts That Aren’t Candy
Whether you celebrate Easter for the religious reasons or as the beginning of spring and warmer weather, it’s nice to have a few themed gifts to hand out to the kids or family members. We do a combination of crosses, bunnies, and flowers for Easter gifts at our house.
Potted Plant –
Traditionally, Easter means spring flowering plants like hyacinth, tulips, and daffodils. But, you could always do a pastel bouquet of cut flowers if you prefer.
Spring Outfit –
Whether that’s a new pair of shorts and a t-shirt or a new Easter dress, a spring outfit is always a great idea. Older kids may appreciate funky spring socks, pajamas, or a new pair of sandals.
Plush Easter Bunny –
We do not recommend gifting animals as Easter gifts unless they are plush. A real live chick, bunny or even a kitten is a commitment that lasts for years.
Makeup & Spa Items –
My daughter has always loved getting flavored lip balms, bubble bath, bath salts and other spa items for Easter. How about a spring colored nail polish with Easter or spring themed nail decals?

Jewelry –
I love the cute themed food jewelry available for kids right now. How about a cupcake necklace or a charm bracelet with cute food charms?
Stationary –
Who else remember the pens that smelled like fruit when you wrote with them? What fun was that! How about a candy covered notebook or Gummy Bear erasers?
Craft Kits –
Besides painting eggs with the kids, consider a few fun craft kits or art supplies. I’m sure they would appreciate markers, crayons, coloring books, or modeling clay.
Puzzles and Games –
I’ve always enjoyed puzzles and Easter is the perfect time to gift one to the kids. The weather may not be nice enough for outside play yet, but everyone can enjoy a puzzle. Look for springtime themes like farm animals, flowers, bunnies, etc.
Or, why not gift an Easter book like How the Bunny Learned to Fly?

Thanks for the post, now I can do an entire basket without a bunch of junk in it!
You definitely can!
I keep several little plush bunnies around from sales, in case I need to make an Easter basket. For kids or adults, cutting down the sugar is always a good idea.
That’s a great idea, Deb!
