Hot cross buns have landed on our shelves, which can only mean one thing. Easter is just around the corner, and you’ll soon be woken by excited kiddies rushing to see if they can find any indication of a fluffy white bunny, basket full of easter gifts or trail of chocolatey goodness.
Whether this is your first Easter and you’re looking to start your own Easter traditions or simply looking for a more chocolate-free way of celebrating, this guide is for you. We share all our favourite Choc-free Easter gifts for kids in 2024.

Do we feel Easter has become slightly commercialised, with easter-themed everything being advertised from early January? A little.
But we also know the excitement that comes as a parent approaching Easter for the first time with the joy of creating new traditions for your little ones. So, how can we approach Easter gifting without all the chocolate and tin foil?
If you’re looking for other ways to celebrate Easter than the typical overflow of chocolate, we have some beautiful (and more mindful/ethical) Easter Gift ideas for you!
Easter Soft Toys: Easter Bunny Gifts + Easter Duckling
As Easter approaches, there’s no denying the charm that plush bunnies, chicks, and other cuddly toys bring to festivities. Easter-themed soft toys that make cute additions to your holiday décor and serve as unique keepsakes to mark an occasion and remind you of those memorable ‘firsts’ in your children’s lives. We’ve searched for all the cute Easter soft toys, so you don’t have to. Here are our favourites:
Easter Egg Baskets
There’s nothing like the excitement of an easter egg hunt on Easter morning (ok, we will accept a little chocolate). We’ve found the cutest selection of Easter Baskets to gift your children on their first Easter, which will soon become part of your yearly traditions. Here are some of our favourite ethical Easter Basket options:

Easter Pyjamas
We don’t know where the tradition of gifting pyjamas on Easter or Christmas came from, but it’s one we love and do each year. While I am sure some Easter-themed pyjamas are on the market, we’ve picked options that will be well-loved all year. Cosy up on Easter evening and get ready to make special memories in some of our favourite kid’s pyjamas:

Easter Books for Kids
If you’re like us and have enough toys to rotate for the rest of the year (and beyond), you may prefer to gift a particular book or two. Books are always one of my favourite gifts to give, and when done yearly, build a beautiful collection of Easter-themed books to fill the shelves around this time. Here are some Easter-themed kids’ books to choose from.
