I don't know about your kids, but mine tend to get plenty of candy and sweets from their grandparents at holidays. Since I don't want them eating massive amounts of sugar I typically try to keep the amount of sweets in our Easter baskets and Christmas stockings to a minimum. I also try to steer away from junk that's just going to end up in the garbage after a few days or weeks. I thought others might be looking for some non-candy ideas for their family's Easter baskets too, so in this post I share some of my favorites.
