Easter is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to go beyond the usual chocolate eggs (or at least balance them out!), I’ve rounded up some fun, kid-approved gifts that are perfect for popping into baskets or hiding around the garden. From cute collectables to creative playsets, these Easter gift guide 2025 finds are all about keeping little ones happy and entertained over the Easter holiday and beyond!
Yoto Cards
Treat your little listeners to something special this Easter with these enchanting Yoto cards. They are perfect for popping into baskets or keeping kids happily entertained over the holidays. We use our Yoto player daily and I like that both of my boys (who are different ages) can enjoy listening to their favourite books.
Here are some fab titles to enjoy over the Easter holidays.
- Ladybird Stories for Easter – A heartwarming collection of springtime tales, ideal for younger children and perfect for quiet moments over the Easter weekend.
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – Discover the magical creatures of the wizarding world in this whimsical guide written by Newt Scamander himself.
- Quidditch Through the Ages – Dive into the history of the wizarding world’s favourite sport, packed with fun facts and fascinating lore.
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard – Classic wizarding world fairy tales, beloved by young witches and wizards—including the tale that changed everything in the Harry Potter series.
From charming animal stories to spellbinding wizarding adventures, these Yoto cards offer something for every child’s Easter basket. No screens, just imagination!
Hot Cross Bunnies
Looking for a fun addition to the kids’ Easter celebrations? Orchard Toys ‘Hot Cross Bunnies‘ is a super fun game where players race to collect the most bunny pairs while steering clear of the grumpy bunnies. Encountering a grumpy bunny adds a hilarious twist, players must cross their arms and pull a silly grumpy face, ensuring giggles all around!
Compact and lightweight, ‘Hot Cross Bunnies’ is ideal for fun at home or on travels.
Birdy Call
Birdy Call is the brilliantly bonkers party game that will have the whole family chirping, squawking and giggling in no time. Whether you’re 8 or 88, this is one of those rare finds that gets everyone off their phones and into full-on flock mode.
The concept is delightfully daft! Each player takes on the persona of a bird, complete with a unique call, and the aim is to match up with your fellow feathered friend using nothing but your voice. That’s right, no words, just bird sounds.
Fugglers Vacay Vibes
With all the Fugglers fouling up the world, we think taking a holiday is a great idea. Unfortunately, so do they. These feral Fugglers are in vacay mode, stashing away in your suitcase and determined to get some R&R on your dime. These 24cm Fugglers are the perfect size and made from super soft plush that goes horrifically well with its human-like teeth. Make sure to check your Fugglers rarity by checking for their rare “butt-on” holes! There are 11 Vacay Vibes Fugglers to choose from, collect them all to complete your Fuggler Crew!
Available from The Entertainer.

Playmobil
My youngest loves Playmobil and has quite the collection! The starter kits and characters make perfect Easter gifts, as they are inexpensive and include lots of fun accessories.
