Easter Gift Guide 2026

Easter is coming up, and if you’re anything like me, you might be looking for a few bits to add alongside the chocolate eggs. I’ve pulled together our Easter gift guide 2026, with a mix of playtime fun, crafty bits and slightly different ideas that are perfect for Easter baskets or little surprises. Things that keep hands busy, spark a bit of imagination, and last a little longer than the usual treats!

Popcorn Shed Easter Bundle

I am a massive fan of Popcorn Shed, and they have put together a lovely little Easter Popcorn Bundle with three different flavours, all with their signature caramel-coated popcorn. You’ve got a chocolate mix (which is basically a mix of salted caramel, milk and white chocolate flavours), plus a carrot cake flavour and cinnamon roll! Definitely something a bit different.

It feels a bit more special than your standard Easter treats, and I love that it’s something the whole family can share (if it lasts that long!). It’s also gluten-free and made with natural ingredients.

Easter Bunny Mini Hamper

The Easter Bunny Mini Hamper from Wickedly Welsh, is packed with a mix of treats including chocolate puddles, hot chocolate, Easter shapes and mini marshmallows, so it feels a bit more exciting than just handing over a standard egg.
Perfect for a cosy Easter afternoon watching a favourite movie!
Contents include:

A Fun Little Easter Treat With a Twist

If you’re trying to keep Easter a bit more balanced (and not just chocolate), this Rabbit ToyChoc Box from PLAYin CHOC are such a fun little idea.

Each box comes with organic chocolate and a little 3D puzzle toy to build, which I love. It gives kids something to do as well as something to eat. The rabbit theme makes it perfect for Easter, and it feels a bit more interactive than your usual treats.
It’s also dairy, nut and gluten-free, which is a big bonus if you’re catering for different needs.

Play Food Roleplay

If you’ve got children who love playing kitchens, this is such a fun idea for Easter.
This Heinz Beanz & Hoops Make And Play Set comes with everything they need to “cook” up their own little meal. Including the classic tins, a saucepan, a jacket potato and all the bits to go with it. It’s all designed to look just like the real thing, which makes it even more fun for imaginative play.

I always like adding something like this alongside the usual Easter treats, as it gives them something to actually play with afterwards rather than just more chocolate. It’s perfect for younger kids and great for encouraging a bit of role play too.

Little Tikes Creative Chefs Spring Basket Kit

This Gorgeous Little Tikes Creative Chefs Spring Basket Kit is all about imaginative play, with a really cute spring/Easter theme running through it. Kids can “make” their own Easter treats and decorate eggs, just like the real thing. I love that the eggs actually change colour when dipped in cold water, such a fun little touch that makes it feel more realistic.

There’s also mouldable mix included so they can shape their own little Easter creations, like chocolate bunnies, and even some surprise toys hidden inside the eggs which adds to the excitement. It’s one of those sets that keeps them busy for ages, especially if they enjoy hands-on play.

It all comes in a little Easter basket too, which is great for storage or taking out and about, and it’s perfect for encouraging creativity and a bit of role play.

So Slime Mini Flower Garden

This one is such a fun little set, especially if slime is already a favourite. It’s all about creating a Mini Slime Garden with colourful, scented slime, mixing different textures and adding in little charms and decorations to make each one unique.

It’s quite a sensory one too. All the squishing, stretching and mixing keeps hands busy, and there’s something really satisfying about putting it all together. What I like most is that once it’s made, everything can be set out in the little flower pots and greenhouse, so it feels more like a proper little display rather than something that’s quickly played with and forgotten. This playset lets little children create their own mini “slime garden” with colourful, scented slime that they can mix, decorate and personalise. There are different textures to play with, plus little charms and decorations, so they can really make each one their own.

I love that it’s not just about making slime, kids can display their creations in the mini flower pots and greenhouse, which makes it feel a bit more like a proper little project rather than a one-and-done activity.

Build Your Own Kits

The Build Your Own Snowy Owl Kit is a really nice little project to sit down with, especially if you’ve got kids who enjoy building things.

Everything comes ready to go in the kit, you just press out the pre-cut pieces and slot them together, so there’s no glue, no mess, and no faff. It’s quite satisfying to build, and it doesn’t take ages either, so it’s great for keeping attention without it dragging on.

There’s a good mix of fun and learning with this one too. It includes a little fact stand and an information card all about snowy owls, so there’s a chance to learn a bit more about them while building. I like that it doesn’t feel forced, it just adds a bit of extra interest.

It’s also made from sustainable cardboard and paper, which is always a nice bonus, and once it’s built, it makes a lovely little display piece as well.

A great option for slightly older kids and a nice one for a bit of quiet time over the Easter holidays.

Com_Creator Video Walkie-Talkies

A bit of a different one for Easter, and perfect if you’ve got kids who enjoy gadgets and anything a little more interactive.

These super fun Studio Creator Walkie-Talkies aren’t your usual walkie-talkies. You can chat using video as well as voice, which makes it feel much more fun. There are also loads of silly filters and voice effects to play around with, so it’s not just about talking, it’s about having a laugh with it too.

It’s great for a bit of back-and-forth play, whether that’s chatting between rooms, making up games, or just messing around with the features. It’s also perfect for getting out into the garden and having a bit of outdoor fun, which is always a win when the weather starts picking up.

Definitely one that keeps things interesting and a nice change from the usual toys.

DIY Squishy Factory

Make your own colourful squidgy squishies with the Squish Squish DIY Squishy Factory.
You mix the gels, add colours, and pour them into the moulds. Then the fun part is getting to decorate once they’ve set. It’s quite a fun process from start to finish, and there’s something really satisfying about making them yourself and then giving them a good squish.

There are loads of bits included too, from moulds, colours and decorations, so there’s plenty to play around with, and each one can turn out a bit different.

It’s a nice mix of crafting and sensory play. Perfect for a rainy afternoon or a bit of quiet time over the Easter break.

Art Lab Watercolour Case

For those who love a bit of colouring or painting, this is a really nice step up from the usual pens and pencils.

The Art Lab Watercolour Case includes paints, paper and a mix of tools to try out different effects. The case itself doubles up as a little workspace too, which makes it easy to set up anywhere and keep everything together.

There’s also a guide included with a few simple techniques, so it’s a good way to try something new without it feeling too complicated. It encourages a bit of experimenting with colours and styles, which is always nice to see.
A great one for slower days at home and perfect for creating little pieces of artwork to keep or give to someone special.

Not Forgetting Our Furry Friends!

With all the chocolate around at Easter, it’s always a good reminder to keep our doggies safe, so why not treat them to something of their own instead?

The Spring Picnic Postbiotic Meaty Treats from Pooch & Mutt are perfect for this time of year and feel like a proper little Easter treat. Made with lamb and spring vegetables, they’re packed with goodness, grain-free and contain Collagen for healthy skin, so you know you’re giving them something a bit better than just a standard snack.

If your dog is anything like ours, they’ll be very happy to be included in the Easter fun!

They also have some great everyday options too. The Peanut Butter Dental Sticks are ideal for keeping teeth clean while still feeling like a treat, and the Cheddar Cheese Postbiotic Treats are perfect for little rewards (or just because!).

Happy Easter!
