35 Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas

By Katy Agro Myers, Publisher Mom, Macaroni Kid Pasadena-Severna Park March 15, 2018

It's hard to believe that Easter is just TWO weeks away!  I'm slowly gathering supplies for my boys' Easter Baskets.  As with most holidays, I try to go with practical presents. I know, it's totally boring, but my boys are definitely spoiled by other family members. This makes it a great time to stock up things that they actually need instead of just giving them a sugar rush for breakfast.  As I'm making my lists, I thought I'd share with you my favorite 35 non-candy Easter Basket goodies:

Stock Up On Supplies:

  • Toothbrush
  • Toothpaste
  • Floss Picks
  • Mouthwash
  • Bubble Bath

Get Ready for Spring:
