Dust off your bunny ears and pull out the Easter baskets for another year of eGGciting hunting, gathering, binge-chocolate eating and Easter gift-giving!
Sure it’s not necessary to gift our kids with a sweet treat for Easter, but many of us like to. Whether it’s a toy, chocolate bunny or cute craft … after all, a little gift goes a long way and brings the magic of the Easter bunny to life. Unlike Christmas, there’s no need to break the budget either, something small and simple will do.
So if, like me, you’re on the hunt for cute Easter gifts for kids, allow us to bring you some divine inspiration! And not just any old gifts, we’ve got bunnies and eggs of both the chocolate and toy variety, STEM and craft toys to entertain and delight kids of all ages AND even a special Easter hamper for you too.
Have yourself an EGGtra special Easter and win your family one of these Easter gift ideas.
