Easter is this weekend guys…and as always, it’s one of those occasions where I’m like, “Gifts? Really??” But I guess people DO fill up Easter baskets and they DO shop for home decor and they DO bring hostess gifts. So if you’re looking for some Easter treats of the non-edible variety…I’ve got a few ideas below.

Fortune Cookie Soap ‘Easter Collection’ – $4.25+
So if you’re looking for Easter goodies that LOOK good enough to eat, look no further. This innovative brand has whipped up a feast of Easter bath treats, including a soapy chocolate bunny, a creamy-scented whipped body butter, and event a fortune cookie bath bomb infused with Easter grass. There’s genuinely enough products here to actually concoct a non-edible Easter basket for your wife or mother, to pamper her in a way that won’t invite unnecessary calories.

La Vie En Rose Easter Bunny Line – $16.95 – $24.95 each
The kids can have their treats – you can enjoy a special treat for bedtime with one of these cute bunny-themed items from La Vie En Rose. From snuggly sleep shorts to oh-so-soft nighties and tanks, this is a great way to make sure ‘mom’ still gets a gift that isn’t horrifyingly calorie-laden.



Easter Cookie Cutters Box Set – $17 @ Williams Sonoma
To me, I will always associate Easter with visiting my grandma’s place and biting into one of her trademark sugar cookies in the shape of a bunny. Whether baking is a tradition in your household or you simply want to surprise a hostess with a lovely seasonal gift, this pretty collection of spring-themed cookie cutters equals hours of fun with the kids and a tasty reward for all.

Ciate Flower Manicure Set – $30 @ Sephora
Your teenage daughter has informed you that Easter (and hunting for treats) is so not cool. What to do? Why not gift her a spring-themed gift that’s sure to appeal? Nail polish mavens Ciate have released two ‘Flower Manicure’ kits, including a pretty pastel base, floral decals, and a tough top coat to keep your springy look as fresh as a bouquet of tulips. A cute way to get your kid in the spirit of things without breaking the bank.

Playmobil Eggs – $7.99 each @ Scalliwag Toys
Here’s a sugar-free treat for the kids to ‘unwrap’ come Easter Sunday. Playmobil has a line of collectible, limited-edition eggs each Easter, featuring a miniature playset for them to wile away the hours (perhaps consulting with the flowers). Scalliwag Toys has a Pink Fairy, Ranger, Mini Playground and Knight set, however you can also try your local toy store for one of the newest collectibles from Playmobil, including Flower Fairy, Native American Girl, Biker, and Robo Gang Spy Glider.
