If you thought Santa had it hard with the stocking stuffers, wait until you see the square footage of the baskets that the Easter Bunny has to fill come spring! Sure, you can take the easy route and fill your kids' Easter baskets with store-bought confections like chocolate bunnies and Peeps, but there are only so many edible elements you can stuff their baskets with until their bellies are stuffed, too! So, instead of showing up to your egg hunt or Easter brunch empty handed, might we suggest treating your loved ones to some creative Easter basket stuffers, including Easter basket gifts for the whole family? They're sure to make every bunny's Easter as hoppy as can be!

Luckily, Easter basket stuffers can really be anything you dream up, including but certainly not limited to: Easter books, arts and crafts supplies, candles, toys, figurines, jewelry, and more. If you love making DIY Easter decorations and crafts, you can even include a few creations of your own. Ahead, we've pulled together a list of the absolute coolest, most unique basket stuffers out there, including gifts for teens, gifts for toddlers, gifts for 10-year-olds, and even gifts for parents and gifts for your best friend.

Looking for a gift under $25? Yep, we've got you covered there, too—and we've even pulled in some gifts under $10. And not to worry: We've done our research on the chocolate bunny side of things, too. You didn't think we'd discourage you from going that route, did you? Happy Easter!
