Easter is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start planning fun baskets! While candy and chocolate are classic choices, often the bunny finds it adds to kids’ joy when there’s other gifts included – that are more creative (and longer lasting!).
If you’re looking to surprise your kids with hands-on gifts that spark creativity and keep them engaged beyond Easter morning, we’ve got you covered. Here are five unique Easter basket stuffers that are anything but ordinary – in addition to a chocolate bunny or two!
1. Unicorn Gem Water Bottle
A gift that’s fun and functional? Yes, please! Our ultra-popular Gem Water Bottle is available in a unicorn or mermaid theme, and comes with so many charms, stickers, and accessories for your kids to personalize their own water bottle.
Your kids will love peeling, sticking, decorating, and then showing off their creation wherever they go! It’s leakproof, BPA-free, reusable, and built to last through school days, playdates, and everything in between. Plus, the waterproof stickers stay on through regular washing.
2. Scratch Notes Rainbow
These colorful mini notes are perfect for doodles, messages, and tiny Easter greetings. Each sheet has a matte black coating on top, that reveals vibrant rainbow colors underneath when scratched with the bamboo stylus (included).
The Scratch Notes Rainbow are great for sparking creativity, and since they’re small and portable, they make an awesome travel or quiet-time activity. Pop a box into your Easter baskets – and maybe grab another for yourself to use as fridge notes, lunchbox surprises for your kids, or fun to-do lists.
Shop Scratch Notes Rainbow here. Also available in Silver Holographic, Rainbow Holographic, and Gold.
