Between egg hunts, chocolate overload, and the annual debate over whether hot cross buns should be available year-round (yes, obviously), Easter can quickly become an expensive affair. If you’re looking for fun and thoughtful Easter gifts that won’t drain your bank account faster than a child unwrapping a Creme Egg, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you’re shopping for kids, teens, or adults who still expect an Easter treat (no judgment), we’ve rounded up the best budget-friendly gifts, because celebrating Easter shouldn’t mean spending your entire pay check on novelty chocolate. Let’s hop to it!
Mini Easter Egg Hunt Kit
A classic Easter egg hunt is a must, but not all eggs have to be made of chocolate (controversial, we know). These plastic refillable eggs (£7.99) can be stuffed with small toys, stickers, or even IOUs for fun activities like “Stay up 30 minutes later”, a sure win with kids.
Colour Your Own Easter Tote Bag
Instead of another generic chocolate egg, why not get the kids to unleash their inner Van Gogh? Easter tote bag decorating kits are a brilliant way to keep them entertained (and keep their chocolate stash tidy). These are usually under £10 and double up as a party bag.
Easter Bunny Board Game
If you want something that brings the whole family together (without the sugar rush), this Orchard Toys Easter Bunny Surprise Game is a brilliant alternative to yet another chocolate egg. It’s a fun counting and colour-matching game, perfect for younger kids (age 3+), and small enough to take on the go—ideal for keeping little ones entertained while you enjoy a well-earned Easter cuppa. At under £10, it’s budget-friendly and tantrum-preventing. Win-win.
Easter Books for Kids
A small Easter book is a great budget-friendly option that won’t be devoured in 30 seconds. From "We’re Going on an Egg Hunt" to "Peter Rabbit’s Easter Surprise", you can find adorable children’s books for around £5-£7.
DIY Easter Activity Packs
For under £7.00, you can find Easter craft kits that include everything from stickers to foam bunnies and googly eyes. Great for keeping little hands busy while you sneak an extra Creme Egg from their stash.
Easter Mug and Hot Chocolate Set
Not all Easter gifts are for kids. A cute Peter Rabbit mug with some hot chocolate sachets is a great option for teens and adults who want Easter treats without feeling like they’re five again.
Reusable Easter Crackers
Yes, Easter crackers are a thing now, and they’re surprisingly affordable. These can be filled with sweets, mini gifts, or your best Easter dad jokes (Why don’t eggs tell jokes? Because they might crack up).
Grow Your Own Bunny Tails
Looking for a fun Easter gift that won’t be eaten within seconds? These Mr Fothergill’s Bunny Tails Grass Seeds are a unique and adorable alternative. Bunny Tails (Lagurus ovatus) are fluffy ornamental grasses that resemble, you guessed it, tiny bunny tails! They’re easy to grow, look fantastic in pots or flower beds, and make a lovely long-lasting Easter gift. Perfect for little gardeners or anyone who wants to add a bit of nature to their home. And at under £5, it’s a budget-friendly win!
Rabbit Keyring
For a small but meaningful Easter gift, this Bunny Keyring is a great choice. It features a charming little rabbit design that’s perfect for adding a subtle Easter touch to keys, bags, or backpacks. Unlike chocolate, this one won’t disappear within minutes, making it a great keepsake for kids, teens, or even bunny-loving adults. And at under £5, it’s an affordable yet thoughtful Easter treat.
DIY Easter Hamper
Finally, if you want to go the extra mile but still keep costs low, why not make your own Easter hamper? Grab a small basket, fill it with a mix of budget-friendly treats like mini easter eggs, mini books and stickers—and voilà, you’ve got a personalised Easter gift that looks way more expensive than it actually is.
Easter doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Whether you’re going for crafts, books, or a creative non-chocolate surprise, there are plenty of ways to keep your Easter gifting fun, thoughtful, and budget-friendly.
Now, go forth and be the hero of Easter!
