Today – 10 of the best non chocolate Easter gifts for adults and children. Lovely chocolate free Easter presents for all!
Now I’m not usually one to turn down chocolate but at Easter even I can start to find it a bit overwhelming. So if you don’t want to buy something edible what are your options? Well luckily there’s lots! As a blatant excuse to spend the afternoon browsing some of my favourite online shops I thought I’d give you a run down of the best. (Don’t forget to check out Easter Deals here too)
Monogrammed Egg Cups from Cox & Cox – £8.50
Firstly, who could say no to a boiled egg in these these super cute egg cups? Now E is starting to read he loves things with his name or initials on so I think these will go down a treat.
This is my kind of craft. A kit with all the bits cut out for you, ready to go. Then just straight forward sticking for the kids to do. You can use the boxes for gifts you’re giving or keep them for the kids to put their chocolate in. At £1 each they are a bargain
Watering Can Arrangement from Interflora – £32.99
I don’t have a fantastic track record keeping plants alive but this lovely outdoor arrangement has mini daffodils with ivy and a conifer, all of which are pretty sturdy so even I might manage to keep them going until after Easter. Even if I don’t I can always reuse the vintage looking watering can afterwards.

Dolls House Shelf from Cox & Cox – £49
I love the 70s style paper used to back these shelves. Flowers, hearts and apples, perfect for spring. It would be great in a little girl’s room but I’m not sure it’s one for my boys so maybe I’ll have to persuade Hubs to let me have one in our room instead. Everyone needs something a little girly, don’t they?
.
Chicken Measuring Cups from Marks and Spencer – £12.50
What true baker wouldn’t love a set of these? They’re part of a range that includes a cake plate, tea pot, mixing bowl and biscuit tins amongst other things. What’s that? One of each? Don’t mind if I do!
To be clear, I don’t think one has to carry a chicken in the basket. Unless you want to of course! I think it might be more suited to picnic supplies for the park or suntan lotion and towels for the beach. Honestly, a couple of days of sunshine and I’m already planning for summer.
We used these little plastic eggs, each with a couple of chocolate buttons in, for E’s first egg hunt. It was a great way of making sure there was plenty for him to find without him ending up with a mountain chocolate as he was only 10 months. The bright colours make them easier for little ones to find. You can hide little toys in them instead if you prefer.
OK, yes these are edible but they were just too lovely to leave out. I would insist I was buying them for the children but I’m pretty sure you’d find me ‘testing’ them with a nice cup of tea and a magazine for elevensies.
Stickers are always a safe bet in my house. If you’re lucky the 150 stickers in this book will keep the kids so engrossed they won’t notice when we pinch some of their chocolate. Well, it’s important to learn to share, isn’t it?
Finally, The Egg and Feathers pattern is so lovely and understated. The mug is just perfect for the cuppa I’m planning to go with those biscuits. It holds a half pint which I think is the minimum requirement for a mug. So it might even give me enough time for two biscuits as I wouldn’t want to waste any.
So those are my choices of the best non chocolate Easter gifts. What are you hoping for?
Edit – I’ve updated my wish list for this year here.

Brilliant round up! love the watering can arrangement.Easter always comes around Mother’s Day or my mum’s birthday so I’m going to get her that this year.
[…] year I wrote a post of my favourite Chocolate Free Easter Presents and really enjoyed the excuse to window shop (is it still called that on the internet?) in the name […]
I think I might go out and buy those measuring spoons for myself. They are gorgeous!
Cute, aren’t they? I think having fun while you’re baking is just as important as enjoying the cake at the end.
so many choices…
Yep, it’s like Christmas but with sun. Easter may become my new favourite holiday!
As someone who doesn’t eat chocolate…I love this! Especially the egg cups and the mug.
I think the mug is my favourite closely followed by the biscuits.

I love, love, love the Mug!
