How to choose noncandy stuffers for an Easter Basket

While it’s easy to find a wide variety of candy to place in an Easter basket, choosing other stuffers can be challenging. Easter-themed gadgets are nice options that fit well with the holiday, and it’s also fun to add a surprise. Following several guidelines will ensure the giftee will be thrilled at what they find in their Easter basket.

• Consider age: A basket stuffer that suits the recipient's age will help avoid disappointment. For example, while toys are perfect for younger children, items such as bath products or tech devices are better options for teens and adults.

• Think about the recipient’s preferences: There are no set rules when selecting Easter basket gifts, so you can opt for items that may not be traditional for the holiday as long as it's something the recipient will appreciate.

• Don’t forget the grown-ups: Easter baskets are typically for kids, but it’s fun to include the adults too. Spa products, fragrances or wine are a few ideas for adult Easter baskets.

• Look for colorful items: Easter and springtime are about pastel or brightly-colored eggs, flowers and more. Placing colorful items such as toys or plastic eggs will brighten a basket.

• Keep it fun: Gifts such as games, bubbles and sidewalk chalk will provide hours of exciting activities for kids of all ages.
• Factor in the size of the basket: You’ll want to ensure there’s enough space in the Easter basket to accommodate your chosen gifts.
