The Best Non-Chocolate Easter Gifts

While Easter is a fantastic opportunity to catch up with family and scoff chocolate all day, there’s something to be said about using this holiday to treat yourself (and your loved ones) with some non-chocolate Easter gifts too. We mean, why not? You deserve a special treat that doesn't necessarily involve chocolate eggs.

If you’re looking to spoil the kids, and big kids, in your life, we’ve pulled together a list of the best Non-chocolate Easter gift ideas that go beyond the standard pack of choccie eggs (although we highly recommend getting them too)! 

20 of the Best Non-Chocolate Easter Gifts

Non-Chocolate Easter Gifts for Kids

1. My Friendship Books

This is an Easter gift that keeps giving! My Friendship Books are gorgeous keepsake albums that children can fill out with the help of their best buddies. By passing the book back and forth, they learn about each other, forge strong bonds and lock in special memories. It is a classic, non-digital way to have fun with their friends while encouraging kids to use their creativity to express themselves.

Embellished with hand-drawn Australian flora and fauna, the magical book is full of discovery with engaging questions and activities to help kids create a personalised treasury of the special people in their lives. 

2. Easy Peasy Cakes Easter Baking and Craft Kits

Even without chocolate, you can still create a deliciously hoppy Easter and bake some fun treats with the gorgeous kits from Easy Peasy Cakes. It is the perfect way to let some-bunny know you are thinking of them! 

From adorable bunny cookies to decadent cupcakes with an egg-citing hidden surprise, kids can get creative in the kitchen with the best natural and organic ingredients, plus a cute craft activity, all wrapped up in eco-friendly materials. Choose from the Hippity Hop Cookie Kit, Chirpy Easter Cookie Kit or Hidden Egg Cupcake Kit.

11. Personalised Easter Baskets

For a precious non-chocolate Easter gift idea that will become a cherished keepsake for years to come, why not give your kids their very own personalised Easter basket. Choose from a hamper bucket, jar, case, woven basket or bag then add your own personal touch by including a name and your child’s favourite colour.

12. Easter Movies 

Easter falls in April in Australia, which marks the beginning of some cooler weather and makes for the perfect conditions to hunker down and watch family movies under the covers. Treat the kids and stock up on some classic Easter movies on DVD, like Peter Rabbit, Hop and Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade.
