Discover more about the trend of Easter gift-giving to help you decide if non chocolate Easter gifts are something you’d like to try this year. 

Do parents give gifts on Easter? 

Easter gifts for children have become all the rage over recent years as parents look to swap those tempting chocolate eggs for longer-lasting, sugar-free alternatives - aka Easter toys! Baby and toddler Easter gifts have become a treasured tradition among many families. Some treat it like a mini Christmas, exchanging gift baskets full of Easter goodies, while others simply gift their children with a small token to mark the occasion. 

Why do people give kids gifts for Easter?

Parents have become better aware of the dangers of sugar, so their Easter shopping habits have evolved and many are now exploring alternative Easter gifts to the chocolate variety. Easter toys that fit the occasion (think bunnies, chicks, eggs, springtime) have become a favourite with families because not only do they contain zero sugar, but they also feel extra special and have a far longer shelf-life than a chocolate egg!

That said, it’s all about balance. We like the idea of a family Easter egg hunt, where the youngsters can go searching for their little foil-wrapped eggs, but rather than gifting them with an oversized chocolate egg on top of this, you opt for a thoughtful Easter toy instead. 

What gifts are given at Easter?

Gifting toys for Easter is a great way to treat your tots without filling their tummies with too much chocolate. Here are a few Easter gift ideas to spark your springtime shopping:

• Easter fidget toys
• Child-friendly gardening tools
• Kids baking sets
• Egg-shaped chalks for arts & crafts
• Easter storybooks
• Soft toy bunnies or chicks
• Easter jigsaw puzzles
• Wooden tea sets
• Springtime colouring books & crayons
• Outdoor games
