Easter is a great time for family. Somehow, though, it's also become a gift-giving holiday? It seems like a lot of families have upped the ante with egg hunts, Easter baskets, and all kinds of ideas to make the holiday a little bigger.
If you're a family that's thinking Easter gifts, you may realize that a lot of your options are of the edible variety. There are endless sugary, sweet treats to celebrate the occasion. But whether you let your kids indulge or you're not a sweets family, you can agree it's overkill. Few parents are really dreaming of having their kids on a sugar rush all day long on a weekend, only to be followed by a wicked sugar crash at the end of the day.
These solutions are cute additions to any Easter basket that don't give in to the Easter sugar machine but will still be super appreciated.
