"Kids can make holidays that much more fun. Or, that much more stressful if you’re the one in charge of all the gifting and magic making. We know moms are at the heart of what makes holidays like Easter special, so we wanted to help by taking some of the guesswork out of what to add to your kids’ baskets this year. That’s why we’re sharing this list of the best Easter basket ideas, all personally recommended by moms on our team.
Because your registry isn’t just a checklist, we’re here to help you choose what’s best for you. From moms and experts who have been through it all, these are our winners for The Everymom’s 2025 Baby Registry Awards.
Religious reasons aside, there’s something special about the budding flowers, baby animals, and pastels everywhere. It makes Easter such a fun holiday for babies and kids. In fact, the best part is that your kids will be using these gifts well beyond the holiday too. So whether you celebrate Easter or just want a reason for little gifting or a toy refresh, we’ve put together some perfect goodies for your little ones. From baby stuffed animals and bunny pajamas to creative teethers and activities sets, these options check the cute box. Plus, they can fit perfectly into an Easter basket.

Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers
Matching pajama sets are one of my favorite gifts for holiday occasions, but every toddler can enjoy some playful things too. An Easter-themed sensory kit can keep them busy during Easter brunch, and sidewalk chalk is perfect for the spring time.

Our Favorite Easter Baskets and Accessories
We can’t forget about Easter basket options. The hard part about Easter baskets is narrowing down which one to get. They’re all so cute! If you’re sentimental, choose one that can be used year after year. If it’s time for an upgrade, these are great options too. After the kids see everything you filled their baskets with, then it’s time to use it for an Easter egg hunt. Happy Easter, everyone!
