Non-chocolate Easter gift ideas for children
If your children are anything like mine, they will get enough Easter Eggs this Easter to last them until next Christmas, and so for that reason we tend to leave chocolate gifts to friends and family. And while Easter seems to have gone a little crazy in recent years, becoming almost like a second Christmas, there are lots of little gifts that you can buy instead of an egg that don’t have to cost a small fortune! I thought I would share some of our favourites with you.
1. Bunny Slippers
These gorgeous bunny slippers from Accessorize are utterly adorable for little ones this Easter. I love the knitted design and soft fur lining, and at £12.99 I will definitely be getting some for my girls
2. Harrods Easter Bunny
I love this 2017 Easter Bunny from Harrods, with super soft plush fur and finished with the signature Harrods ribbon. At 35cm tall this is a lovely sized toy for ages three and over, priced at just £9.95.
3. Bunny Jump board game
This game looks like so much fun, the aim being to pull the most carrots from the field without making the bunny jump! It’s very much like Pop Up Pirates, a game which my children love, and this bunny edition is perfect for Easter. Available from Argos for £14.95.
4. Chick pyjamas
These gorgeous pyjamas are perfect for Spring/Summer, in the sweetest little chick pattern! Made from the softest cotton in a shorts and vest design, they are available in ages 2-12 years which is great for people like me who love their children to match! Available from John Lewis at just £13.
5. Bunny ice lolly makers
This is a lovely set of six fun woodland bunny lolly makers. Just pop in fruit juice or squash and fill the mould with your favourite flavours to create delicious homemade ice lollies! Each lolly mould holds approx. 140ml. A bargain at just £5.95 from dot com gift shop.
6. Sweet home rabbit umbrella
My children go crazy for umbrellas and I know that they would love this gorgeous Sweet Home rabbit umbrella from Amazon. At £16.99 it’s a little more expensive than your average umbrella but you can’t put a price on cuteness!
7. Personalised egg cup
Available in a choice of designs with up to 12 letters personalisation, these little egg cups are perfect Easter! I found these over on Ebay, and at £7.99 and an affordable gift.
8. Hungry Bunny Night Light
This hungry bunny night light is so sweet, and at just £3.95 is the same price as an Easter egg! With an LED light and an off switch, I know that my children would adore one of these for bedtime. Available from dot com gift shop.
9. Fair Trade sheep purse
This Fair Trade Sheep Purse is the perfect place for an animal lover to keep their pennies! Fully lined and with a zip fastening, it’s an absolute steal at just £4.19, and even better for every order placed money will be donated to an animal charity.
10. The Entertainer Gift Card
A great idea for a non-chocolate Easter treat would be to buy a gift card for The Entertainer this way your children can treat themselves to something nice without you having to do the thinking.
While the Easter bunny might not be bringing a barrow full of chocolate for the children, I’m secretly hoping that he brings a few eggs my way!!
Have you seen they do Playmobil Easter eggs? That’s what I want for Easter! I think we might be purchasing a couple 😉 Bunny Jump looks like a great game to play too!
#MarvMondays
Oh really! Mine LOVE Playmobil! xx
Great post this! I would say go with those nifty looking Rabbit slippers!
Me too! They are super cute! xx
Me too! They are super cute! xx
Those slippers and the ice lolly makers are my favourites! Lovely list here x
Me too! Why do they not make kids clothes to fit us?! xx
loving those bunny ice lolly makers! super cute! and I want the bunny slippers for me haha! #KCACOLS
Haha me too! xx
I’m always a fan of pyjamas so the chick ones get a big tick from me! I love the idea of a personalised egg cup too – a way to make a morning egg a little more special at easter 🙂
They are so cute aren’t they? I’ve got these pjs for the girls! xx
Love the ice lolly makers! We use these a lot in our house as a way of getting Sophie to eat more fruit! She would love the rabbit shaped ones so much more tho! x
Yes us too! The rabbit ones are so cute! xx
As much as I love chocolate having a non chocolate Easter present would be great! I like that bunny umbrella x
Me too! I love chocolate all the way, but I’d love that umbrella too! xx
Oh the bunny lolly moulds are so cute and i love the Harrods bunny! #KCACOLS xx
They are adorable aren’t they! xx
These are all such gorgeous ideas. Mine have a mixture of chocolate eggs and a gift or two. Kaz
Thank you! xx
These are some great ideas. We always do a theme for Easter to get outside. Last year it was tackle boxes and gummy worms, candy fish and things like that. #KCACOLS
Oh that sounds like fun! xx
These are all lovely gift ideas for Easter. I especially love the bunny slippers and the umbrella.
They are gorgeous aren’t they?! xx
I love the egg cups. I also want to limit the amount of chocolate that Cygnet eats this Easter. He has a real taste for it. These are great ideas. Pen x #KCACOLS
Oh mine too….and me too if I’m honest!! xx
So sweet! I particularly love the PJs
Me too! They are so pretty! xx
Oh my gosh how cute are the bunny slippers! I wish they would come in adult sizes!
Haha if only….! xx
I love, love, love that brolly! I know my daughter doesn’t need it – and it fact would probably break it pretty quickly – but it’s adorable. #DreamTeam
Hahah yep, would last two minutes probably but still…so cute! xx
These are fab ideas! The kids always get so much chocolate, it’s nice to see something a bit different! #MarvMondays
Thank you! Who doesn’t love a bunny themed gift?! xx
What great suggestions. #KCACOLS
Thanks Helena. xx
Completely agree – they get enough chocolate from friends and family spoiling them! Love the idea of the egg cups – perfecter a proper nutritious breakfast on easter morning…before all the chocolate!
Haha yes!! The one bit of nutrients they will get all day! xx
I am in LOVE with those bunny slippers, I think I want a pair myself!!
Haha me too! xx
I am loving the Easter gift ideas here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! xx
Some lovely ideas but i can’t help buying chocolate, we are all chocolate lovers in our home. We only have a small family so the kids don’t tend to get loads anyway 🙂 #KCACOLS
Oh me too. And I will end up buying eggs for the easter hunt! xx
We do the same here otherwise they get so much stuff. When they were little and had no concept of presents etc we gave them some toys for the summer. As if we waited for their birthday’s in August, summer had pretty much gone!! Now they understand more, we give more low key reasonable gifts. Those bunny slippers are just so cute, my Holly would look adorable in them. And I love those personalised egg cups, my girls would love them and a perfect Easter gift x
Some people go crazy at Easter now, I know last year I had friends on facebook doing huge piles of presents, I feel like I’m missing something!! Mine will be getting eggs from family and friends, a new outfit (which I would have bought anyway) and a few bits and pieces that are easter related. In all honesty they’d be happy with a crème egg! xx
I love this. It is a great idea to give non-chocolate pressies to the kids. They sometimes end up with so much they are still eating it when their birthday rolls around in September! I love the board game. The kids would absolutely adore this, I can imagine them having a lot of fun with that. The question I have is, do they do the slippers in adult sizes? xx
Yes! So much chocolate that I just end up eating, haha! I’m going to get the board game, might keep them quiet for two minutes! xx
We are so mean that we never buy the kids easter eggs, I prefer to get them something they will use and enjoy
That’s not mean, they get chocolate so often these days! xx
When I was a child we got an Easter basket with a fewide sweet goodies in it, a stuffed bunny or chicken and then a book, colours etc
Great post and some lovely non chocolate gift ideas.
Oh that’s such a lovely idea! xx
Love the look of the bunny ice lolly moulds, I remember making lollies like that when I was little and I’ve seen a couple baby led weaning style things that use a similar holder so I may have to invest. Nice to see something other than chocolate (because there’s no way I’m sharing with the baby!) #kcacols
We love home made ice lollies, way better than shop bought ones loaded with enumbers! Plus we put yogurt in and make frozen yoghurt lollies too! xxx
What super cute ideas. Love the umbrella x
Me too! I’m tempted to get one myself! xx
I NEED a baby girl just for the bunny slippers #dreamteam
Hahah they are gorgeous aren’t they?! xx
How adorable are those slippers 🙂 They’re all great alternatives to chocolate! #MarvMondays
Aren’t they sweet? Happy easter! xx
This is great as I’ve been looking for some non chocolate ideas since we still have sweets left from Christmas! I’m also now sure what to get Kipper for his first Easter since I got Monkey a rabbit and a little mug for his first. Better get my skates on though as it’s not long. Hope you have a great Easter xx
I know! A week on sunday! It’s also my sons birthday on Easter sunday so a double celebration for us! Happy Easter! xxx
Great idea, they definitely get way too much chocolate. Those bunny slippers are just so cute!
Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday
Aren’t they just? I really want some! xx
I adore the egg cups & the fair trade sheep purse! How lovely! It’s ironic because I was looking at egg cups today for my kiddies. I like to have non-chocolate / sugary things for them on Easter too! x
The egg cups are fab aren’t they? I’ve ordered some, although I’m sure they will think they are to eat their crème eggs out of! xx
Just popping back from #KCACOLS and now I want that bunny umbrella for Holly too! x
Hahah me too! xx
Great list! Easter can get a bit much with all the chocolate for the little ones so we prefer to get them a few little bits and pieces like these instead too. I havent started getting our Easter bits yet so this is perfectly timed, and you’ve picked out lots of lovely and affordable things too 🙂 I’m sure your little ones will have a lovely Easter! Great post, thanks for sharing it on #MarvMondays. Emily
Thanks Emily. It’s Lewis’s 13th birthday on Easter Sunday so it’s worked out quite nicely that when the youngest three are crying because Lewis has got all the presents, they will have some little bits to open too! Have a lovely Easter! xx
Great list, I can believe is almost Easter already.
Love the bunny slippers, my niece would love them. x
The bunny slippers are super cute aren’t they! xx
Good ideas – I love the bunny slippers and umbrella! #KCACOLS
Me too! Super cute! xx
I love the bunny slippers, so cute!
#KCACOLS
I know! So adorable! xx
Love the chicken jim jams – so cute!! #KCACOLS
Me too! I want some!xx
I think I want those pj’s for all of us! Is that possible? They are too cute. And, as an aside, may I still have some chocolate? Just a wee bit will suffice. Thanks Laura! #KCACOLS xo
Haha me too! xx
Those slippers are super cute! I always buy Stacey a pair of bunny slippers for Easter, but I usually get them from The Little White Company. I hope Accessorize have something similar next year though as they cater more for her age range 🙂
Louise x
They are lovely aren’t they! I do love The Little White company too! xx
Great round up of non-chocolatey gifts for kiddies! When my brothers and I were younger, Easter Bunny used to bring us books every year. We had more than enough eggs and chocolate from all the relatives hehe x
Haha yes here too! The kids still have a few eggs knocking about from last year! xx
