Of course my guys get some candy in their Easter baskets. But honestly, neither of them is huge on candy and who wants to fill a basket with only candy? I’m always on the hunt for cute non-candy ideas each year to include in their baskets.

Here’s a round-up of some good picks for this year if you’re looking for the same:

And I’ve been talking about these TOMY Hide & Squeak Eggs for years but dang, this toy lasted longer than almost any in my house. Love that it’s portable and really was truly played with for years by my boys and many other kids. And it’s very Easter friendly given that it’s eggs and all!
