If you’re looking for Easter gift alternatives to candy for those Easter Egg hunts, we did the legwork for you. These candy alternatives will still have the kids hunting with a passion come Easter morning, but they’ll add some variety to your plastic egg-stuffers.
And, as a bonus, these ideas are easily found and readily affordable. No need to go on an Easter hunt of your own.

LEGOs
You don’t have to try to stuff a whole LEGO kit into the eggs. Instead, buy a larger pack that’s not part of a specific set, like this one, and place a few pieces into each egg for a fun Easter gift.
Flower seeds
Planting season will be right around the corner. You can roll up or fold seed packets to fit inside the eggs for a unique Easter gift, which means the egg-seeker will be able to properly plant the seeds later because they’ll have the directions.
