Easter Basket Gift Ideas for Boys |

Looking for Easter Basket Gift Ideas for Boys that are not candy? Here is a great round up for what to put in a boys Easter Basket.

What do you put in a boys Easter basket?

Am I really not adding any candy to the boys’ Easter baskets this year? Of course not. They’ll get plenty of candy. But, I also wanted to add useful gifts that they’ll both use as well as new clothes. I think setting the precedent that the Easter Bunny brings useful items and not just chocolate is a good one.

I’m including books, educational toys and treats, but mostly what you will find are practical items you’ll likely shopping for anyway.

What Can I Give my Kids Instead of Candy for Easter?

Toys is an obvious answer. But, I also wanted to include gifts that are useful to them in every day life. For example, they both needed summer sneakers and I found the perfect pair for both of them. I love these sneakers for Fernando so much, I’m thinking of getting matching ones for myself!

Easter is a perfect time to spruce up the kids wardrobe with new shoes, a few outfits and swim trunks. You can also put other Spring and Summer essentials in a boys Easter Basket like hats, sunglasses new socks and underwear. Bonus points for cute and colorful items. I always find great boys clothes at H&M. I’m loving that this seasons items are fun and colorful.

I am obsessed with these Nikes I picked up for Fernando. They’re easy to put on ( elastic laces), and they perfect for summer. I’m debating picking up another pair for him for next school year, and maybe one for him. Kohl’s also has great deals on boys sneakers and clothes.

Same goes for playdough. The mess is worth it for me, and it keeps everyone busy and excited.
