Finding Easter candy to fill your family's baskets is likely a no brainer... there are so many options out there to choose from. If you are like me, you have to work at NOT going overboard with all of the sweet treats.
But zeroing in on the non-candy Easter gifts can be a lot more difficult. One of my kids isn't really into sweets, so I've always tried hard to come up with ideas that are fun and useful for him. Plus, we can all use a bit of variety in our baskets, don't you think?
Here's our list of non-candy Easter basket faves. Hopefully, it makes your Easter shopping a bit easier this year.
