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.

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. ($38.00, Amazon)

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)

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. (Unknown, Amazon)

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)

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. (Unknown, Amazon)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Whether you’re searching for festive jammies to get them in the holiday spirit or dress-up clothes for Easter Sunday, Hanna Andersson’s Easter shop is full of the cutest options. We love this pajama set with five designs to choose from, these printed cotton dresses (with pockets to store any overflowing eggs they find), and these colorful button-ups. ($26.40+, Hanna Andersson)

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)

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)

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. ($33.72, Amazon)

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)

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. ($19.97, Amazon)

Tuck them in with a story on how to catch the elusive Easter bunny. It has smart rhymes and fun illustrations perfect for kids ages 2 through 6. Sounds like a new annual bedtime tradition. ($4.95, Amazon)

If they need to clean up after the egg hunt, these will have your kid excited to jump in the tub. The pack comes with eight fizzy bath bombs that feature Easter-themed toys at the center so they can play while you scrub. Snag all the different themes as incentives to keep them clean. ($13.99+, Amazon)

Pop these into some of their Easter eggs on scavenger hunt day instead of candy (your dentist will thank you). The tub comes with 24 different toys they can squish, pull, and play with long after the holiday is over. (Unknown, Amazon)

Get them off their screens and encourage them to play outside and create some sidewalk art. Choose from six-packs of glitter, neon, or regular designs, or a variety pack with 12 eggs. Hopscotch, anyone? ($11.99+, Amazon)
