If you’ve been on the hunt for some alternative Easter gift ideas for the kids that don’t involve chocolate, then you’ve come to the right place! There are many reasons to swap out the choccies this Easter – from intolerances to lifestyle decisions, and little bubs who aren’t ready for a taste just yet. And while it’s certainly a time worth celebrating, you don’t have to go overboard – a special gift or two will have them smiling from ear-to-ear and creating family memories for years to come.
So, pop on your bunny ears, hop down to your local Stockland centre, and you’ll discover everything you need to make this Easter a great one.

Start a family tradition
A fantastic way to make each Easter special is to create a new family tradition. So, in 2024, why not start by picking up an ‘Easter Flappy hat’ from Kmart and some cosy Easter themed pyjamas from Big W or Best&Less - they’re bound to get the kids excited the night before! We love that an Aussie Easter is nice and cool compared to our Christmas, especially because we don’t get to indulge in the cosiness of festive jammies like they do in the movies, so be sure to kit them out! Add to the family fun with an Easter bake-off with one of our Hot Cross Bun recipes.
Non-chocolate Easter gifts
The wonderful thing about kids is their ability to turn something ordinary into something magical, using only their imagination. Like an Easter hunt! Watching their little eyes light up as you countdown, ‘3,2,1 – go!’ are memories you’ll cherish forever.
Want to hold a non chocolate Easter hunt? Start the long weekend by holding a crafternoon where they decorate their own eggs to find. The kids will love the Easter Plush Basket from Woolworths to collect them all. Or, for the creative kiddos, pick up a Paint Your Own Wooden Easter themed stand from Big W. Make the holiday even more special with a bedtime story ‘Disney Bunnies - Thumper finds an egg".
Chocolate alternative
If you want to treat the little ones to an Easter sweet minus the chocolate, Coles Gluten Free Hot Cross buns are just the treat! If the kids want to get creative in the kitchen, then Big W's Dollar Sweets Easter Bunny Cupcake Kit will keep them busy decorating their very own bunny-faced cupcakes.
Chocolate aside, Easter is a time for celebrating family traditions, making memories and enjoying a long relaxing weekend. And you’ll find everything you need to do just that, at your local Stockland centre. For more Easter inspiration visit our Easter inspiration page.
