Easter is coming up soon! Do you need some ideas for filling Easter baskets? Here are 35 allergy friendly easter basket ideas for kids of all ages, and maybe some adults too 😉

Easter is in just a couple of weeks, and we’re getting gifts ready! I always feel like it’s worthwhile to plan well ahead for holidays to avoid the stress of last-minute scrambles to busy stores. Even on smaller holidays like Easter, it’s nice to get a jump start, unless of course you buy a ton of candy too soon and it ends up getting eaten before the actual holiday. Not good!
Check out our list of great allergy friendly candies!
Holidays always get interesting when you or your family (or both!) have food allergies. We’re always looking for treats the kids can have that don’t include peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and eggs. It can get tricky sometimes! We are constantly reading labels, and that habit has passed on to our kids.
Now that our kids are a bit older, they are really good at reading labels on their own and making decisions about whether they should eat certain foods. They are very disciplined about it these days! Plus, they know that while it’s nice to get treats around the holidays, those special times aren’t all about the candy.
When I was figuring out what to put in my kid’s Easter baskets this year, I wanted to include some of their favorite sweet treats, but I also wanted to include non-food gifts, like water bottles, lip gloss, and markers. There are so many non-food ideas for basket fillers, you can get pretty creative!

Hello!! I think this is a great idea!! I have a question where to you purchase your crates?
Hi Keshia! It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure I got these crates at Walmart in the floral section.
What a fantastic list. Always love non-food ideas for baskets. When I was a kid, my mom used to put CD’s and books in mine!
That’s an awesome idea for Easter baskets! I remember getting a jump rope and my favorite candy before my milk allergies: robin eggs 🙂
Oh Sarah you have such fun ideas in here. So cute.. Love the baskets and how cute it all looks <3
I grew up without the concept of egg hunts or Easter gift baskets but I love the idea! And I can’t wait to introduce my baby to all these traditions when she’s older
It’s definitely fun to do some of those Easter traditions with our kids, but we always try to remind them of the real reasons for our Easter holiday 🙂
Wow…lots of fun stuff to fill Easter baskets with. I usually put in a few chocolates for the kids, but then fill the bag/basket with items like this.
It’s so much fun to put stuff in the baskets that isn’t food! My kids are going to love the water bottles I got them, and I was thinking about getting them an iTunes gift card for games and music 🙂
