Easter is such a fun holiday; hiding and hunting for eggs, Easter baskets and bunnies. But the focus always seems to be on candy (not that candy isn’t delicious!), but there’s something exciting about having a few small (or big!) gifts in an Easter Basket as well. And if you have a tiny animal lover below, they are sure to enjoy some of these special gifts!
Marine Rescue Center
Children can become an ocean bioligist with this creative magnetic STEM playset. Children can construct and rearrange this clever playset thanks to built in magnets. Rescue and rehabilitate marine life before releasing them back into the wild. Pair this with a book about marine life for a great themed basket!

Candy
No Easter Basket is complete without chocolate! And this endangered species chocolate is ethically sourced and a portion of the proceeds benefit various endangered endangered species organizations. Need marshmallows? Try Sweet & Sara’s Marshallow Chicks and bunnies. They’re made without the use of any animal products and are tasty enough to please any little animal lover.

Babywearing Wrap
Okay… so this one isn’t necessarily a gift for an Easter Basket… but if you have a baby or child who still likes to be worn, why not treat yourself to an animal themed wrap or sling? There’s a huge variety of slings, wraps and soft structured carriers to choose from, whether you’re a cat lover, dog person, sea life lover, or in love with wild animals, there’s bound to be something that’s perfect for you.
After all, we all deserve a treat. 😉
