Easter Basket Ideas: 5 Easter Gifts That Last Longer Than Chocolate

When we think of Easter, it’s easy to picture colourful foil-wrapped eggs, fluffy marshmallow chicks, and the classic chocolate bunny. But as delightful as chocolate may be (and let’s be honest, who’s saying no to a sweet treat?), it often disappears before the Easter weekend is over. So, this year, why not go beyond the sweet treats and gift something special and different this Easter? 

Whether you're gifting this Easter to a child, or grown-up who still gets excited for spring surprises, Warmies® are the perfect non-chocolate Easter gift that delivers long after the last chocolate egg has vanished.

Here are five Easter gift ideas from Warmies® that will outlast chocolate and bring big smiles, warmth, and plenty of comfort all year long.

1. Warmies® Pink Bunny

What’s more iconic than the Easter Bunny? Instead of a calorific chocolate version, surprise your little one with a cuddly Pink Bunny they can treasure for forever and a day.

Our Warmies® Pink Bunny is in soft pastel pink. Made with plush, velvety fur and filled with scented with French lavender, this adorable bunny can be warmed in the microwave for a comforting hug that soothes at bedtime, during naptime, or even for moments of anxiety.

The weight of the Warmies® Bunny offers a calming, sensory experience that helps promote relaxation and security, making it a perfect night-time companion for younger children. It’s also a charming addition to any Easter basket, nestled among pastel eggs and springtime surprises.

If you’re searching for an Easter gift that says, “I thought about your comfort, not just your sweet tooth,” this one delivers every time.

2. Warmies® Carrot

We know what you're thinking: “A carrot?” But hear us out.

Our stunning Warmies® Carrot is the unexpected (and ultra cute) star of Easter. Perfect for pairing with any bunny-themed gifts, this soft orange veggie adds a playful touch of springtime whimsy. It’s adorable, heatable, and filled with that same soothing lavender scent Warmies® are renowned for.

The Warmies® Carrot is a cheeky companion to the Easter Bunny, and kids love the fun of it. Plus, unlike a chocolate bunny, this carrot won’t melt in the sun. If you're looking to go beyond the usual toys and sweets, this non-chocolate Easter gift is full of character and long-lasting charm.

3. Warmies® Chick

What would Easter be without a few baby animals? Enter the Warmies® Chick, soft, squishy, and always ready to snuggle.

With its fluffy yellow body and tiny beak, this plush chick is bursting with spring energy. Like all Warmies®, it can be gently warmed in the microwave to release the calming scent of lavender and provide a gentle heat that little hands (or grown-up ones!) will love.

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this chick has a cute personality and adds a sweet surprise to any Easter gift. It also makes a lovely gift for new parents., pop it into a baby’s Easter basket as a keepsake they'll use time and time again for cuddly comfort on chilly nights or when soothing sore tummies. And because it’s a gift that grows with them, this cheerful chick will still be a bedtime favourite long after the chocolate has been eaten.

4. Warmies® Hotties Bunny 

Sometimes good things come in small, snuggly packages. That’s exactly what you’ll find with the Hotties Bunny, which includes pint-sized versions of favourite animal friends, ideal for tiny hands or for tucking into a travel bag.

Our cute Hotties Bunny is perfect for Easter. Whether you’re giving it to a toddler who loves soft toys, or an older child who needs a little extra bedtime comfort, these mini plush toys are still fully heatable and scented, just like their full-sized siblings.

Because of their size, our Hotties Bunny, makes great add-ons to Easter baskets or even as part of a spring-themed treasure hunt. They also serve as a sweet and supportive comfort buddy that can travel from home to school, sleepovers, or even on holiday.

5. Warmies® for Adults – Because Big-Kids Love Easter!

Let’s not forget the adults in your life who could use a little warmth this season. Warmies® aren't just for children, they’re for everyone.

For gifting consider one of the animal-themed Warmies® that still capture the joy of spring, like the Warmies® Sheep, Sloth, or Elephant. These warming plush companions bring back the nostalgia of Easter without the sugar crash, offering microwavable warmth and that signature lavender scent for evenings on the couch, WFH comfort, or a calming bedtime ritual.

And for grown-ups who prefer functional gifts, Warmies® also offers heatable neck wraps and eye masks, ideal for easing tension, headaches, or just adding a bit of spa-like indulgence to their day.

Who said Easter bunny gifts had to be only for the kids?

Why Warmies® Make the Perfect Non-Chocolate Easter Gift

The beauty of Warmies® lies in their simplicity: they combine the nostalgic joy of a bunny soft toy with the practicality of warmth and calming aromatherapy. Unlike chocolates that are quickly consumed, these plush gifts provide lasting comfort and emotional support.
