One of my yearly Easter traditions is going through my son’s Easter basket and removing the huge chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs, and mounds of candy. There’s just too much for one child to eat in one sitting. In fact, there’s so many sweets that I usually freeze them and they get eaten throughout the year. So, I’m always looking for alternatives that won’t give us cavities and will just give us a break from the sugar. If you’re also cutting back on the sweets, I’ve put together a list of the best Easter basket gifts for kids, teens, and adults – and none of it is candy. Not only that, a lot of it is on sale, so you can save some cash while you’re at it.

So, keep on scrolling for the best Easter basket gifts for kids, teens, and adults. There may not be any candy below, but the items (and their price tags) are all pretty sweet.
