​Easter Gifts for Kids (Without the Sugar!)

​More and more parents these days are looking for alternative Easter gifts for kids, to go alongside – or instead of – the usual mountain of sugar they receive from the Bunny (AKA well-meaning relatives).  Sure, it’s the “one day of the year” our littlies get to go nuts on chocolate, and as parents we love to indulge them.  But if you don’t relish dealing with the inevitable sugar crash, or your little one suffers from dairy or sugar allergies, you’ll love our list of Easter gifts for kids which are just as sweet, without the sweets!

​Snuggle-wear for Your Snuggle-Bunny

​Special occasions call for special jammies, and we love the soft, cuddly and delightful pyjamas from Aussie brands Marquise, Wilson + Frenchy, and Milky.
Marquise are even offering a cute range of Easter-themed, bunny patterned pyjamas this year, which are sure to make for great ‘Egg Hunt’ photos early on Easter Sunday!

​Eat Your Words (and Your Eggs)

A book makes a beautiful keepsake for any occasion – they’re a plastic-free, sugar-free and educational option which can be enjoyed for years to come (and then handed down to other avid little bookworms!)  Knee High represents the wonderful Wild Eyed Press, which has a great collection of picture books starring a colourful cast of Australian wildlife – including possums, koalas and whales – and gentle, positive themes.  No bunnies, true, but in our house we prefer bilbies and bandicoots anyway!

Melt Hearts with a New Cuddly Friend!

​A time-honoured alternative Easter gift for kids is an oh-so-soft and sweet Easter themed soft toy: and no one does cuddly bunnies like OB Designs! 
For babies and toddlers, I’ve always thought of their famous Bunny Comforter as a brilliant gift.  With its combination of an adorable bunny head and body up top, and soft, scrunchable piece of fabric below, it’s a stylish upgrade on the scrappy remnants of old blankets – sometimes called ‘lovies’ - which many of us dragged around as tiny tots!
If you’re shopping for a child a little older, or a true soft toy connoisseur, look no further than OB Designs plush Bunnies.  Available in six gorgeous, on-trend colours which will complement any modern styling and colour palette – think teal, taupe and dusky pink – and a cute name and bio for each bunny, this is one Easter present you’ll be glad to have hanging around long after April has passed!

​Dinnerware for Dinner Where?

Create a beautiful new Easter tradition with Little Woods and Emondo Kids creative, eco-friendly dinnerware for tiny hands.  Whether your little person is enjoying a boiled egg with toast soldiers on Good Friday, or a picnic in the park over the long weekend, these unbreakable and beautifully designed plates, cups and cutlery will make a gorgeous addition to the holiday, and an Easter gift they’ll use for years to come.

We hope you’ve found this round-up of our favourite non-choccie Easter gift ideas for your little bunnies fresh and inspirational!  Easter is, after all, about love, new life and hope - and there’s nothing better than seeing the anticipation and excitement in our littlest loves’ eyes when they unwrap a special gift, JUST for them!​
