I don’t know about you but I actually love shopping for Easter. By now I’m over the trauma of Christmas and love giving my little ones a little gift at the end of their first school term.
What’s great about Easter gifts for kids is that they aren’t going to cost the earth, plus there are some REALLY cute Easter present ideas out there including hampers, chocolates, toys and craft kits.
Tips and tricks when Easter shopping
KEEP IT SIMPLE: There’s no need to go overboard with Easter gifts – just something small to pair with their Easter egg hunt in the morning will be plenty! Our Easter gifts range from under $10 to under $120, perfect for every budget.
KEEP IT SIMILAR:Â If you’re buying for more than one child, try to keep gifts either the same or on par to avoid fighting. Another great tip to keep things fair during the Easter Egg hunt is to allocate a different colour of plastic egg to each child. See how it’s done here (and thank us later!).
TOY, CRAFT, KEEPSAKE, EASTER BOOK or CHOCOLATE: Or how about a selection of a few? If you’re going for chocolate-free Easter presents, we have several to choose from but our top picks for Easter present ideas this year also include a few sweet treats as well.
Check out a few of our favourite Easter present ideas of 2023. Give them their basket of goodies in the morning or hide it as part of the hunt. However you choose, these gifts are sure to bring out the eggcitement in everyone!
