While Easter baskets are usually reserved for kids, we think adults deserve something festive for Easter, too. “Easter baskets are traditionally filled with chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Peeps, and painted eggs, and almost exclusively enjoyed by kids,” says Elisabeth Noel Jones, founder and CEO of GiftMeChic, which offers gift curation services for individuals, organizations, retailers, and private events. “I love the idea of thinking about Easter baskets for adults, however.”  

Whether you want something small to give friends and family, something to show your Easter host how much you appreciate them, or to put together an excellent Easter basket, we’ve compiled a list of Easter gifts for adults, from kitchen gadgets and home decor to jewelry and accessories.

For the poet, doodler, writer, or note taker in your life, a notebook set with various floral prints is a great gift. The set comes with three notebooks, each with a different floral cover, gold foil accents, stitched binding, and 64 ruled pages with gold ink. The covers are canvas with white text paper inside, and there are numerous designs to choose from.

For the artsy friend who loves to create, this embroidery kit is a great gift that adds a touch of spring flair. The kit comes with four embroidery hoops, printed embroidery cloth, scissors, colored thread, and needles for threading. The thread number and stitch method are combined to make embroidering easy, and the pattern on the cloth is water soluble and disappears when exposed to water. It’s a great gift for beginners, and the finished pieces add a fun touch to any room.

Nestled in a festive oval box from Germany, these chocolate truffles are wrapped in a thin candy shell in speckled pastel shades that make them look like real Easter eggs. Tuck the entire box in a larger Easter basket, or gift it itself as a party favor. The box contains about 24 eggs.

Whether they want to hang it on a kitchen hook for added Easter decor or actually use it while cooking, this pot holder is great for this time of year. The back and front are printed with pastel Easter eggs and trimmed in a light green fabric. The pot holder is made from thick cotton, which diffuses heat well and protects hands and countertops. Toss it in the washing machine for easy cleaning.

This pack of pastel-colored lip balms is perfect for adults (and teens) and is a great item to toss in an Easter basket or gift on its own with a card. Each tube is a different flavor: Birthday Cake, Vanilla Confetti, Rainbow Sherbert, and Sprinkle Donut. EOS is known for their soft and smooth lip balms, all made with shea butter, coconut oil, and antioxidants to keep lips happy all day long. They’re great for sensitive skin and free of parabens, phthalates, and gluten.

The Amazon Echo Pop is a great smart speaker for small spaces, and the Lavender Bloom shade is perfect for Easter (although it is also available in Charcoal, Midnight Teal, and Glacier White). They can ask Alexa to play music, audiobooks, and podcasts, read the news, make calls, and more. Plus, the Echo Pop can be used to control compatible smart home devices such as smart plugs or lights. To really get the party started, all they need to say is, "Alexa, turn on my disco light.”

Now they can cook boiled eggs for the Easter egg hunt fast with the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker. It holds six eggs and will cook them soft, medium or hard boiled. It also comes with a poaching tray and omelet tray so they can make poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelets without dirtying up pots and pans and using butter or oil. There’s also a measuring cup and recipe book included. For an Easter gift, we love the aqua, baby blue, and pastel yellow color options. 

Doubling as a solid choice for both spring and Easter, this apron is an adorable find for those who love to cook. It’s made from 100% cotton and makes a great add-in for an Easter basket or to gift the hostess of your Easter meal. We love the garden scene that unfolds across the bottom portion of the apron, and the little bunny sitting between the flowers adds a nice Easter touch.

This tie features rabbits—sitting, standing, and running—all across the tie in a neutral gray shade that gives a classic storybook look. It’s made of satin polyester, giving it a silky feel, and it’s machine washable. This would work well for church, the office, and Easter dinner.

This woven jacquard throw looks much more expensive than it is, and it will look especially elegant when draped over the side of an Easter basket. It has a festive print that features bunnies in different poses, as well as fringed edges with twisted tassel ends.

Hair bows are trending right now—even for adults—and this gingham one from Anthropologie is a great accessory for any Easter outfit. It comes in a few different pastel colors and patterns. It’s great to add to an Easter basket or give as a simple gift on its own.

If you have someone special you’d like to send a gift to but aren’t sure what to get them, send them a Sugarwish. You select the size you want—extra small with two treats up to grand with more than 12 treats— and can include a personalized note to go along with the box. The recipient will then be able to choose treats from five categories: candy, cookies, popcorn, snacks, or dog treats, where hundreds of options are available. After choosing their treats, the box is shipped to them in Sugarwish’s signature awning box.

The purple diamond pattern of these socks will add a pop of color to his Easter Sunday outfit. Southern Scholar's signature blend of cotton and wool maintains its shape and holds its form for years to come. And unlike other "one-size-fits-all" socks, these are engineered to stay put all day.

Easter is on its way with this tea towel set from the Southern Living collection at Dillard's. One towel features a playful bunny standing over colorful spring flowers, while the other tea towel features flowers only. They’re made from cotton and can be machine washed and dried. Hang them over the side of an Easter basket for a festive touch. 

It’s not an Easter basket, but it is an Easter box filled with snacks and treats that everyone will enjoy. This Hickory Farms box includes beef summer sausage, a block of cheddar cheese, a wheel of smoked gouda cheese, a container of sweet-hot mustard, toasted crackers, and a chocolate bunny wrapped in foil. This would be a great hostess gift, or perfect for the man in your life.

An adorable addition to an Easter table, this bunny ceramic stand is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, treats, or even a small charcuterie board. The bunny, Topsy, rests on his back with his feet holding up the cake pedestal, creating a cute and festive stand that they’ll want to use every Easter season. It’s best to wash this stand by hand.

This cotton crochet bag is versatile enough to tote to work, while running errands, or even while relaxing by the pool. The four spring hues are fitting for the occasion—choose from hot pink, jade, ivory, or maize. You can even use it in place of an Easter basket and fill it with small goodies and treats.

Satisfy a sweet tooth with Easter Bunny Bark, which is similar to other candy bark you’ve had in the past. Made from tempered Peruvian dark and white chocolates, the bark is finished with candy pearls and pastel sprinkles for an Easter treat that everyone loves. Stick it in with an Easter basket, or bring the box along to share at Easter festivities.

Egg cups are ideal for serving soft-boiled eggs straight out of the shell, but you can also use them for desserts, snacks, candies, and even putting dyed Easter eggs on elegant display. As with all Le Creuset enameled cast iron, this cup has a colorful, nonstick glazed surface for easy cleanup.

What better dessert is there on Easter than a carrot cake? Caroline’s Cakes out of South Carolina makes a delicious version with alternating layers of caramel, cream cheese icing, and carrot cake. It’s shipped in a cooler with dry ice and serves between 14-20 people. They can even store it in the freezer for up to six months. Oh, and it’s nut free for those with allergies.

These statement earrings scream spring, and they'll pair beautifully with any Easter dress. Choose from either lavender or white versions, each of which feature cascading petals attached to a faux pearl.

If you’re looking for a small server to place Easter candies in, or even a dip trio container for appetizers, this one from Pottery Barn is festive and functional. The three ceramic bowls are all one piece and each has a weave pattern on the outside to mimic an Easter basket. Two bunnies, one on top of the bowls and the other peeking out from inside a bowl, complete the server for a lighthearted and sweet piece.

For the gardener on your list, a new garden tool set is a great gift for spring. You could even use the tool bag as an Easter basket and add extra items inside. The tools are stainless steel and resistant to rust and corrosion, and the tool bag is made of durable polyester. Eight exterior pockets and loops offer space to store the tools, and tool handles are made of wood and will fit snugly in their hand. Tools include pruning shears, a trowel, transplant trowel, hand fork, weeder, cultivator, and gardening gloves. The pink and green color options are great for Easter.

Elevate their Easter celebration with these linen cocktail napkins designed to look like a bunny wearing a flower garland. The garland is embroidered onto the linen bunny, and the set of four adds an elegant touch to Easter brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Made from 100% Australian sheepskin lining, these fuzzy slippers from Dearfoam are a cozy addition to an Easter basket, and we love the colorful selections available. They’re moisture wicking and temperature regulating, and can be worn both inside and outside. We also like that they’re open toed and easy to slide on and off, making them easy to use for multiple seasons.

For the person who loves to cook, this set of bunny spatulas from Williams Sonoma is a cute gift for Easter and great to toss in with a larger gift basket or Easter basket. There’s a bunny on each spatula in front of latticework, and on the flipside of each is an intricate floral design. The handles are stainless steel with a brushed gold finish, and the BPA-free silicone heads are heat resistant up to 600°F.

For the person who likes to have picnics or loves to camp, the Yeti Wine Chiller will make a great addition to their gear. It fits most wine bottles and is designed to not only store wine in a pretty way, but also keep it cool with double-wall vacuum insulation that helps lock in the right temperature. It comes with a silicone landing pad that keeps the bottle safe, and a non-slip ring on the bottom that prevents slipping. The Chiller is also designed not to sweat, so they don’t have to worry about condensation rings.

Display beautiful Easter eggs in this egg holder that’s bright and fun. There’s a small bunny attached to the holder, adding a bit of whimsy to the display, and the holder itself is hand painted with floral details.

Add a new staple to his wardrobe with the Odessa shirt from Southern Marsh, which also works well for Easter with its pastel color options. Great with slacks or jeans, the long-sleeved shirt is made with moisture-wicking fabric to keep him cool all day long, and the breathable cotton-blend fabric comes complete with the Southern Marsh embroidered mallard logo. Youth sizes are also available.

Say “Happy Easter” from afar by sending this Harry & David Easter basket that’s full of sweet treats the whole family can enjoy. The basket contains two Royal Riviera pears, Moose Crunch milk chocolate popcorn and caramel popcorn, mini malt ball eggs, a milk chocolate bunny, milk chocolate malt balls, and chocolate truffles with various flavors such as raspberry, dark cherry, white coffee, and more. The woven rope basket is also nice enough to be repurposed for other needs, or brought out again for Easter egg hunting. 

Great for church and everyday wear, this dainty cross bracelet from North Carolina-based accessory brand Taylor Reese is a beautiful addition that goes with any outfit. The crosses are strung together end to end, then finished with crystal charms at the end and met with a brass chain. A box chain slider will allow them to adjust the bracelet to their liking.

You’ve had a chocolate bunny before, but have you ever had a box of chocolate lambs? Enter, L.A. Burdick’s chocolate lambs, which are individually made without molds. Each little lamb is hand-piped with a ganache made with white chocolate, strawberries, and Washington rhubarb. It’s perhaps the cutest Easter treat we’ve ever seen, and all the lambs come in a beautiful wooden box that’s tied with ribbon. All L.A. Burdick chocolates and pastries are made with only natural ingredients and contain no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors.

Add an extra touch to any Easter outfit with these gold-plated bunny earrings. Lightweight and comfy, they add a nice touch to any outfit while remaining stylish. They also come in silver-plated and black versions as well.

Peter Cottontail steals the show with these cute tea towels. Each set is embroidered with soft yarn, which makes each bunny fluffy. When folded, the bunny’s front will show on one side, while his backside, complete with fluffy tail, shows on the backside of the tea towel. Hang them over the side of an Easter basket for a decorative touch.

Available nationwide, SusieCakes has 25 locations in California and Texas (Nashville coming soon). Susie’s recipes come from her grandmothers, who instilled in her a love for baking. This festive bunny cake makes a sweet treat after your Easter meal. It features six layers of vanilla cake baked with sugar confetti and filled with buttercream vanilla frosting, not to mention an adorable Easter Bunny decoration. The cake is shipped with a complimentary candle and matchbox.

Bright and natural, this wreath adds a pop of texture and spring color to the front door without being overwhelming. It’s made from flowers that were harvested from a women-owned farm, and we love that it mimics a beautiful field of wildflowers. They can use it indoors or in a protected area outside, as sunlight and humidity can cause the colors to fade and damage the wreath. It works great not only for Easter, but the entire spring season as well.

These accent plates are a traditional take on Easter decor and could even be passed down for generations. The set of four has a different bunny on each plate, all surrounded by flowers and greenery. And they’re dishwasher and microwave safe.

Flowers are never a bad idea. Send them to the Easter host or a loved one for a special Easter surprise that’ll last longer than a chocolate bunny. Tulips are perfect for spring, as they’re bright and work well with Easter decor. Choose from 15 or 30 stems, with or without a vase, and add on a stained glass suncatcher if you wish.

Whimsical with a touch of vintage flair, these monogrammed mugs come in every letter for every initial. They’re hand painted, glazed, and decaled, and each one comes with different designs from butterflies and flowers to poodles and owls.

Vibrant flowers and a garden vibe make this spoon rest a must for spring and Easter. It’s made to keep stovetops and counters clean, so they can rest their ladle or spoon on the spoon rest and have less mess after the meal. Gift it as part of a kitchen-themed Easter basket.

An Easter picnic is a fun and casual way to celebrate the holiday, and this picnic backpack has everything they need. The insulated bag comes with four sets of stainless steel flatware, plates, wine glasses, a cheese knife and wine opener, salt and pepper shaker, picnic blanket, and a bamboo cutting board. There’s room for food as well, and the backpack has a detachable waterproof pouch where they can put ice, cold beverages, and other items that need to stay cool. There’s also a detachable wine pouch as well.

Something they might not expect but will be delighted to receive, these salad tongs—really a small pitchfork and shovel—add an extra touch to any table. They can use them to toss and serve the salad, and count how many remarks they get on these whimsical little tools.

The spring season always brings with it rain, so what better way to prepare a loved one than with a new pair of stylish rain boots? These ones from London Fog are a pull-on bootie style, making it easy to get them on and off. They have a memory foam insole for added comfort, and can be worn with leggings, jeans, shorts, a dress, or a skirt. A rubber exterior makes them easy to wash off after a rainstorm, and the bright color options scream spring.

For the adventurer—or anyone who loves a good fanny pack—Cotopaxi’s Kapai Hip Pack is a great option that’s different from a traditional Easter gift. It has a large main compartment plus a zippered front accessory pocket and will hold 1.5 liters. A top grab handle makes it easy to store within a suitcase as well. It’s made from 100% repurposed fabric, and numerous Easter-ish color combinations are available. You can even use the pack itself as an “Easter basket,” and fill it with fun items for the recipient.

Give the gift of zen this Easter with a spa set. Included items are body oil, aromatherapy mist, a candle, face mask, bath salts, lip balm, sweets, a matchbox, an intention setting guide, and a personalized card. The set is packaged in a gift box with crinkle paper, and all products are handmade in Austin, Texas, with essential oils and natural ingredients. Choose from lavender or vanilla-orange for the scent.

If they’re not so much into the Easter pastel colors or want something a bit different for the front door, this carrot wreath is a nice touch. Made from dried wheat and corn husks, it’s designed to look like a carrot and will easily hang from their door or a wall with a white ribbon. No pesticides or herbicides were used on the wreath, and it can be hung indoors or outdoors under a covering.

For a super affordable addition to an Easter basket, grab one of these silicone AirPod cases. They’re compatible for Apple AirPods and allow for wireless charging or cord charging without having to remove the case. The silicone protects against scratches, drops, and bumps, and the carabiner clip makes it easy to attach the case to a backpack or bag. Numerous colors are available, including Easter pastels like lilac, pink, yellow, and more.

Complete their Easter table with these cute bunny ear napkin rings from Pottery Barn. They’re made of rattan wrapped around a metal frame, giving the wicker bunny ears a playful touch with a bit of texture. The set comes with four napkin rings to hold springtime cloth napkins.

Spruce up the kitchen and bathroom sinks with these bunny soaps that are adorable for Easter. Each bunny is available in white, brown, gray, or golden with colored ears and noses—you choose the color option you like. Lots of scent options are available as well, including apple, lavender, birthday cake, marshmallow, and many more. These would make great party favors and are a simple yet cute add-in to an Easter basket.

This 14-piece cookie cutter set is a great gift for the baker in your life. It includes Easter shapes like a bunny holding a carrot, a butterfly, egg, chick, flowers, cross, and more. The cutters are tin-plated steel and work not only for cookies but fondant, bread, fruit, sandwiches, cheese, and even pancakes.

For a casual spring outfit, the Awning Striped Shirt from Vineyard Vines is a comfortable option that’s breezy and lightweight. The short sleeves are great for sunny days, and the pastel stripes work well for an Easter lunch. It’s made from 100% cotton and can be worn tucked or untucked.

A festive piece to add to a bracelet or necklace, this charm is perfect for Easter. An egg-shaped art glass bead is topped with hand-enameled bunny ears and complete with pastel Easter colors. Sterling silver accents finish the piece.

Bright florals are perfect for spring, and these bowls are basically a spring bouquet. The interior of the bowls are painted yellow and turquoise to give even more color, and they’re great for serving salads, pasta, sides, and more. The bowls are 10 inches, 8 inches, and 6 inches in diameter. They’re dishwasher and microwave safe, and work well with other Easter decor.

Easter is in full swing with the ORCA Wanderer Tote in the color “Retro.” Teal, light green, pink, and orange are all used across the cooler, making this the perfect cooler to take to Easter lunch and picnics. The cooler is zipperless and leak-proof, and closes with whale tail-shaped latches that are easy to open and close. There’s a waterproof lining inside, so they can throw in ice and add their favorite beverages and snacks. It’s tall enough for wine bottles and will hold up to 18 cans. The shoulder strap makes it easy to carry, and the front and rear pockets will help stow their keys, wallet, and essentials.

A great way to ring in spring is with a fresh pair of Birkenstocks, and these Thyme-colored ones are a great spring color, plus they match lots of other colors and outfits. The two-strap look is a classic from Birkenstock, and the cork-latex footbed stays comfy all day. Nubuck leather is made to last, and the two straps with metal buckles are adjustable for the perfect fit.

In a beautiful taffy pink color, this limited-edition Dutch oven was designed with ceramist and illustrator Laura Chautin. It’s hand-printed design exudes spring flora, and the piece looks great as a centerpiece containing Easter dinner. The cast-iron oven holds 3.5 quarts, and you could even gift it with a home-cooked meal inside.

Questions and Answers

What do you put in an adult Easter basket?

While Easter gifts for kids can be any mix of fun little things they might enjoy, Jones suggests sticking to a theme for adult baskets. This could mean a spa Easter basket, kitchen gadget basket, brunch basket, or even an artsy basket with fun crafts. If you don’t want to do a themed basket though, consider what types of things the recipient enjoys: skincare, candles, lotion, coffee, a sweet treat, or even a new book to read. It’s all about what will put a smile on their face. 

What is a traditional Easter gift?

Traditional Easter gifts include chocolate bunnies, candy, jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps, and small toys and such, usually in a pastel color. Traditional gifts can also take a deeper meaning and represent the religious aspect of Easter and include things like cross jewelry

How do you make Easter special for adults?

Elevate and personalize the gifting experience to make Easter special for an adult. Ditch the chocolate bunny and instead get them something they can actually use or would enjoy, like the Yeti Rambler Wine Chiller or the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker. If you want to keep the chocolate bunny though, that’s fine, just add something personal to the gift as well.  

What can you give for Easter instead of candy?

“If creating a theme-specific basket is too much, you simply cannot go wrong with offering a brightly colored bouquet of tulips on Easter or an easy-to-take-care-of plant and putting them inside a basket for effect,” says Jones. “Easter marks the beginning of spring so anything blooming is thoughtful and appropriate!” You can also take a look through this guide for numerous non-candy ideas.
