Easter Sunday is a holiday much anticipated by kids. After all, they get to hang out with friends and family, play games, eat candy and other treats, and even get guests! Of course, unfortunately for us adults, we're the ones who have to provide all the fun. Instead of carefree enjoyment of the holiday, we get responsibility. It can be exhausting to have to find the perfect Easter kid's gifts, and make sure we come in within budget. Luckily, this article is here to help. Here you'll get fun ideas for Easter presents, which can either be wrapped individually or put together in a great Easter basket!
Sweets, Candy and other Goodies
Easter is a great time of the year for candy. Tasty, holiday-appropriate trips are released in droves. There are chocolate eggs, jelly beans, marshmallow chicks, and that all-important staple: the chocolate Easter bunny. In fact, if you're just giving out small favors, the chocolate Easter bunny can be a great choice. Another option would be to fill a medium-sized plastic egg with jellybeans, or some other treat. The possibilities are endless. Candy is also a great filler for an Easter basket, wherever you want nothing but treats in the basket, or want to fill the edges around another gift. Candy is something that both kids and adults would enjoy, so it's hard to go wrong.
Games and DVD's
Games and DVDs can of course be given as an individual present, but they are even more fun as part of an Easter basket. And although Easter movies are not as popular as Christmas movies, properly themed films and shows are available. For example, Chicken Little, Dora the Explorer, and many other cartoons do have Easter specials. In fact, if you know what the child's favorite cartoon or television show is, you could find the corresponding Easter special and have a fantastic gift. Alternately, Easter-themed games can also be a great addition to any basket. And once the child has not gotten the gift, they have instant entertainment for your Easter get together, giving all the adults a break!
Activity Books and Art Supplies
Easter is a holiday that can really spark some artistic creativity. After all, egg painting is probably the number one holiday activity among children. So getting activity books and art supplies can be a great follow-up. Put together a box of crayons, some colored construction paper and craft kits and you have a great gift. Or, there are many Easter-themed pop up activity books or coloring books. For example, a coloring or activity book that follows the Easter Bunny on an adventure, or one that shares the story behind Easter. Once again, these items can be given individually, or part of a basket. Either way, it's another great way to keep the kids entertained and make you their favorite gift-giver.
Easter Outfits
This can be tricky, especially if you're trying to find the right size, but it can be a lot of fun as well. For example, get them a pair of cute bunny ears, because most of these would come in one size fits all. Or you could get them adorable Easter printed dresses or t-shirts. There are a lot of choices available, and most of them are very budget friendly. Do not forget that children love costumes, so this could be a really fun, really unique, gift idea!
Stuffed Animals
Who does not love stuffed animals? We're definitely saving the best for last! Plush toys are hugely in demand during the Easter season. The most obvious example of a good stuffed animal gift would be a plush bunny. After all, Easter is personified with the character of the Easter Bunny, what better way to represent him then with a small, furry, doppelganger? In fact, a rabbit would make a great centerpiece for your Easter Basket. But if the bunny is not for you, there are other animals that are traditionally associated with Easter. These are chicks and ducklings. In fact, if you are making a smaller basket, this can be a great option. A baby plush chick or a little baby duck would make a very cute basket centerpiece. Any of these plush animals can also be given as a great individual present. But do not forget, there's no reason you have to be this limited when it comes to stuffed animals. Pick one that you'd know they'd like and you'll have a super fun gift!
So there you go, all those ideas should give you something to work with and take some of the stress off for us adults! You can find an individual gift or a gift basket for practically any budget, and have a truly happy Easter!
