Easter egg hunts and surprise gifts from the infamous bunny may be what kids look forward to the most during this holiday — but you can add DIY Easter baskets to that list too. From cute stuffed animals to bath bombs filled with themed toys, we’ve rounded up some thoughtful Easter basket stuffers for the kids in your life. Want to get the grown-ups something special for the holiday as well? We have ideas for them too.

The softest stuffed bunny…

If you want to go the stuffed animal route, there’s no better brand than Jellycat. We’ve hugged this bunny in person and can confirm it has the softest fur and the sweetest face. It comes in sizes small to “really really big,” which we’ve given as a baby gift so they can grow up with it. ($28+, Amazon)

hair-clips
Super Smalls

A set of spring hair clips and rings…

Does this come in our size? It’s a set of crystal butterfly hair clips and colorful critter rings they’ll want to stack and style all different ways. They’ll feel like Rapunzel from "Tangled" when she gets her hair braided with flowers in it. We know you get this reference. Just be aware, the small pieces aren’t meant for kids younger than 3. ($50, Super Smalls)

learning-eggs
Amazon

A set of Easter eggs that helps them learn…

This year’s Easter egg hunt will teach them more than where the good hiding places are. These plastic eggs snap together with different shapes and colors, so getting the treat inside is educational, too. When the fun is over, just store them in the durable carton for next year. ($10.99, Amazon)

backpack
Anthropologie

A bunny backpack they’ll use all year…

If you want to go nontraditional with their basket, why not stuff this backpack with treats instead? It’s made out of woven raffia with gingham fabric ears and a cute little stitched face. They’ll be carrying this around even after the Easter Bunny has come and gone. ($55, Anthropologie)

plush-egg
Amazon

A plush Easter egg with a surprise inside…

When they unzip this soft, tent-like egg, they’ll find three stuffed animals nestled inside. They’ll get a chick, a bunny, and a flower pot with Velcro flowers. Name something better than opening a gift to find three more inside. ($25.99, Amazon)

Personalization Mall

Bunny tumblers you can stash treats in…

These 17-ounce reusable cups will keep their drinks hot or cold and are designed with a twist-on lid and long straw. Add their name to it and stuff it with Easter candy or smaller toys to optimize space in their basket. Plus, they’re a great way to show them the value of sustainability. ($12.99, Personalization Mall)

Uncommon Goods

A curated Easter basket filler that’ll inspire their creativity…

They’ll get everything they need to fuel the artist in them. This set includes a drawing journal, a set of colored pencils, rainbow tattoos, and more. It also has moldable clay they can form into different shapes and bake into fun erasers. ($49, Uncommon Goods)

Uncommon Goods

A jewelry-making kit with themed charms…

If the kid you know loves getting crafty, this will keep them occupied all spring and beyond. The kit comes with nine different charms stashed in a unicorn-shaped carrying case — and includes tassels, sparkly hearts, dangling horse charms, and a gold-plated ball chain to hold their creations together. Grab a set of letter beads, so they can make their own Taylor Swift friendship bracelets. ($30, Uncommon Goods)

Customizable squishies they can paint and squeeze…

Stress relievers just got a whole lot cuter. This set of two comes with a bunny and hedgehog ready to be painted with the kit’s included colors and brushes. Once the paint has dried, they can squish them and squeeze them however they’d like. Pro tip: Cover their workstation with some paper for easy cleanup. ($20, Uncommon Goods)

Cute Stuffed Animals
Walmart

A mystery egg filled with a mini toy…

These eggs are filled with either an animal keychain or finger puppet. They’ll get one mystery egg with a surprise inside — one of six available options — that they can clip on their backpack or key chain. They’ll want to collect them all. ($15.99, Walmart)

Cute Stuffed Animals
Build-A-Bear

An Easter-themed Build-A-Bear…

This bunny comes with its own Easter wardrobe — a pastel sequin dress and bow. If your little one can’t get enough of adorable stuffed animals, snag them another one out of the Easter collection; we’re losing it over the Longhorn. ($41.05, Build-A-Bear)

A bunny-designed blanket wrap for baby’s first Easter…

It has a hood with a bunny face and long ears (but there’s also a blue hippo version available). The wrap is machine-washable and can fit babies up to 24 inches tall. Make their basket extra special and snag the matching cuddly bunny plush while you’re at it. ($28.52, Amazon)

Nesting Easter Bunnies
Meri Meri

Nesting wooden Easter bunnies for one surprise after another…

This holiday-themed take on a classic toy will be a keepsake long after the egg hunt is over. The set includes five wooden bunnies with pastel-colored ears and tails, and faces detailed in shiny gold foil. They’ll enjoy stacking them or even storing trinkets inside each. ($28, Meri Meri)

Easter Candy
Amazon

Kinder egg chocolates…

What’s better than hunting for Easter eggs? Hunting for Kinder eggs instead. Snag this classic box of 15 and inside each egg, they’ll find a treat other than the delicious chocolate on the outside. ($21.24, Amazon)

A carton of egg-shaped chalk to enjoy outdoors…
