Whether you’re filling baskets for the little ones or looking for a meaningful gift the whole family can share, we’ve rounded up 12 wonderful Easter gift ideas that go well beyond the usual sweetie haul.
From LEGO building sessions around the kitchen table to cosy afternoons with a board game — and yes, one truly spectacular chocolate egg for the grown-ups — these picks are all about creating memories. For more ideas on planning Easter at home, the National Trust’s Easter events page is always worth a browse too.
LEGO Easter Bunny & Chick Egg Hunt
This charming 140-piece set from basically Easter in brick form. Kids (and let’s be honest, adults too) get to build a springtime meadow scene complete with a tree, flowers, mushrooms, and six brightly coloured eggs hanging from the branches. The star characters — a cheeky Easter bunny and a wide-eyed little chick — come with a net and a rolling wagon so they can “collect” the eggs together.
Interactive Plush Bunny Toy
If your little one has been begging for a pet rabbit, this is the next best thing — and it never needs feeding. This adorable plush bunny walks, hops, makes realistic sounds, wiggles its ears, and even twitches its nose and mouth like a real rabbit. It comes with a cute little leash so toddlers can “walk” their new friend around the house.
Easter Basket Decoration
Gisela Graham has been crafting beautiful seasonal decorations since 1983, and their Easter range is always a joy. This intricately designed Easter basket decoration features gorgeous spring detailing that instantly brings a touch of seasonal charm to any room. Whether it sits on a hallway table or takes pride of place as a centrepiece, it’s a lovely conversation starter.
Easter Wooden Egg Craft Kit
Forget the mess of traditional egg dyeing — this wooden ornaments kit is cleaner, reusable, and just as creative. You get 24 wooden egg shapes across six charming designs, along with jute strings, watercolour pens, and rhinestone stickers. Kids can paint, decorate, and hang their creations on an Easter tree, in windows, or around the garden for a homemade egg hunt trail. If you’re looking for more craft inspiration, Baker Ross always has a great Easter craft selection too.
Spring Felt Tree Board Kit
Think of this as a felt board meets springtime art project. The kit includes a large felt tree along with 49 colourful detachable ornaments — flowers, leaves, butterflies, snails, and birds — that stick on and peel off with Velcro. Kids can rearrange the scene as many times as they like, creating a different spring landscape every day.
Easter Colour & Activity Case
This all-in-one Easter activity case is packed with screen-free fun. Inside you’ll find colouring books, activity books, vibrant markers, double-ended colouring pencils, gel pens, and over 100 reusable stickers — all housed in a durable carry case that kids can colour in too. Puzzles, colouring pages, and Easter-themed crafts keep things varied and engaging.
Sourdough & Salted Dark Chocolate Easter Egg
After all that crafting, the grown-ups deserve a treat too. If you’re looking for an Easter egg that’s a serious cut above the supermarket shelf, this is it. Handmade at The Newt in Somerset — one of the UK’s most celebrated country estates — this luxury dark chocolate egg is infused with sourdough crumbs and a delicate hint of sea salt. The result is an extraordinary combination of smooth, rich cocoa with a satisfying savoury crunch that’s completely unlike anything from the high street.
Peter Rabbit Posting Game
Easter and Peter Rabbit go together like hot cross buns and butter. This adorable posting game brings Beatrix Potter’s beloved characters to life in a hands-on matching activity that toddlers absolutely adore. Little ones match and post character cards into the right slots, building recognition, fine motor skills, and early problem-solving as they play.
Pop to the Shops
This brilliantly designed board game turns a trip to the shops into a family game night. Players race around the board as both shopkeeper and shopper, using play money to buy items from a bakery, greengrocer, newsagent, and market. Along the way, kids learn about handling money, making change, and — delightfully — saying “please” and “thank you” to the shopkeeper.
Orchard Toys Shopping List
The bestselling memory game that’s been a family favourite for over 20 years — and for good reason. Players race to fill their shopping trolley or basket by matching items to their list. It’s simple enough for a two-year-old to enjoy as a matching game, but the face-down memory challenge keeps older children coming back. Add the Clothes or Fruit & Veg extras packs and you can play with up to eight people.
Peter Rabbit Games for Toddlers
Can’t decide on just one Peter Rabbit game? This curated selection on Amazon brings together a range of Peter Rabbit-themed games and puzzles designed specifically for little ones aged two and up. From matching games and first puzzles to lotto and dominos, there’s something to suit every toddler’s stage and interest — all wrapped in those timeless Beatrix Potter illustrations.
Living Nature Lop Eared Rabbit Soft Toy
If you’re looking for a cuddly gift that feels a cut above the usual high-street plush, this is where it’s at. Their lop-eared rabbit is gorgeously realistic, with hand-shaded detailing on the super-soft fur, a sweet little nose, and those signature floppy ears that make lop rabbits irresistible. Each toy comes with an educational fact tag so kids can learn about the real animal too.
There you have it — 12 Easter gift ideas that the whole family will enjoy, from tiny toddlers discovering their first board game to adults savouring an artisan chocolate egg with a cup of tea. The best Easter gifts aren’t just about what’s inside the basket; they’re about the moments you create together — the messy craft sessions, the competitive game nights, and the simple joy of a child hugging a new cuddly bunny.
Whatever you choose, we hope your Easter is filled with laughter, sunshine, and maybe just a little bit of chocolate too. Happy Easter!
