I've said it before and will say it again–Easter is one of my favorite holidays! The nostalgia of waking up, seeing what the Easter bunny put in our baskets, and then running around the yard to hunt for eggs is unmatched. I think, as an adult, I've come to love this Holiday for its' simplicity and effortlessness. It's a one-and-done kind of day with minimal prep and minimal cleanup. But mostly, I love it because I love any day we get to spend intentionally as a family. Usually, I keep the Easter basket ideas pretty minimal and just put one or two things in each basket. We steer away from candy but trust they'll find a few plastic eggs with goodies hidden around the yard. But more than anything, I look forward to a beautifully decorated and deliciously cooked Easter family dinner at the end of the day.
If you’re looking for some Easter basket ideas, here are a bunch of options for kids of all ages. I think there’s something in here for anyone with any budget that kids will actually use and love.

Love these ideas—I’ll be purchasing a few of them.
I like it and would also like to see if there are any other suggestions, thank you very much.

Crowd sourcing this dilemma; what do you put in the plastic Easter eggs besides candy or coins?
What my daughter has received: Stickers, stamps, erasers in cute shapes, temporary tattoos.
Otherwise, Going to a party store where they sell party favors you can find ideas for “small goods”. Alternately, You can make a treasure map for Easter baskets and skip the egg hunt.
We always fill a few with stickers or temporary tattoos! Last year I picked up a 6-pack of micro machines (small toy cars) and those were a hit too. And we always have some with candy. :)
Stickers
Hi Sunny! There are a whole bunch of backpack clips / keychain options - from Star Wars lego characters to donuts and puffy unicorns ... or shaped erasers are fun (rainbows, fruit, animals, etc.) ... or maybe a glowlight bracelet (hmm, that might not fit in an egg) ... and there are always stickers!
Then there's the classic 'custom coupon' - a little rolled up note where they get to pick the game or movie for family night, or a 1:1 date with mom or dad, or an extra hour before bed - the possibilities are endless!
Happy Spring from Canada.
Finger flashlights, jewelry, nail stickers, sticky hands, matchbox cars
I love this part! Over the years, I’ve done Dominos, beads, stickers, mini stamps, crayon rocks, hair elastics, puzzle pieces, and dice for a Tenzi game.
