Are you shopping for Easter? If you’re anything like me, you’re looking for some great non-candy Easter basket and egg filler ideas. I share 19 candy-free Easter items I love to stuff in their Easter baskets.
Is it just me, or is Easter one of the largest candy-giving holidays of the year? I sure feel like we tend to receive way too much candy at Easter. As a mom trying to raise my kids with balance, I’ve come to really dislike Easter gift baskets and bags.
Additionally, with the ever-increasing food allergies, I don’t like adding to the worries of other parents. So, instead of attributing to the mass amounts of candy at Easter, I’ve been more inventive about finding non-candy Easter basket and egg stuffers.
