  • Art items (chalk, paints, coloring books, crayons)
  • Beauty items for the tween/teen girl (chapstick, nail polish, etc…) 
  • Play dough
  • Gift Cards

*Snips and Giggles in downtown Oconomwooc has the cutest items for Easter Baskets including:

  • Hair accessories, barrettes, headbands, hair clips in spring styles
  • Nail polish
  • Stuffed animals

Need some other ideas? Our readers  (from 2018) have the best ideas when we asked for non-candy Easter Basket stuffers. Find 100 ideas here.

And thank you to our team member, Megan, for reminding us of allergy free alternatives to Easter Basket Stuffers like these ideas.

  1. Have a glow in the dark Easter Egg Hunt in your living room or basement.
  2. Use Christmas lights to decorate and have a nighttime hunt.
  3. Put pictures of Easter Eggs in your windows and walk around your neighborhood looking for and pointing out others’ Easter Eggs. 
  4. Bake Easter Egg shaped cut out cookies and decorate them. Put them in bags or containers to hide around the kitchen or specific room and keep what you find!
  5. Make an Easter Egg shaped wreath or decorate a circle wreath with spring/Easter colors and Easter eggs!
  6. Make Salt Dough Easter Eggs. This recipe only calls for flour, salt, and water! You won’t even need to run to the store or schedule a grocery delivery! Team member Megan found this fun recipe. Once you’ve made the eggs and decorated them, hang them all over the house.
  7. Make and decorate Easter Egg shaped cookies. 
  8. Make your indoor or outdoor Easter Egg hunt a scavenger hunt with clues. When they get to the end, have them find their hidden basket!
  9. Dye eggs this year with a new method. There are SO many ways to dye an egg – the easiest right now is with supplies already in the house, like crayons.
  10. “Egg” your neighbor’s yard! We did this last year and it was so much fun. Put Easter eggs in your neighbor’s yard for them to do! 

    FUNDRAISER IDEA: 
Hello Lake Country Families! Two local Pewaukee High School students have an EGG-CITING Fundraiser to share. They are raising money to help pay for their PHS fieldtrips to Costa Rica & London.

Take the night off & let them relieve some stress. They will make your Easter weekend Egg-stra magical for your little Bunnies when they wake up to a yard full of colorful eggs! Let our Peeps scatter Easter eggs filled with candy/trinkets on your lawns so you don’t have to! All deliveries will also come with a special letter from the Easter Bunny. ***Trinkets include: Scratch & Sniff Fruit Stickers, Slap bracelets, Pop keychains, Pull-back cars, Sticky hands, Rubber dinosaurs, Slinkys, Rocket balloons, Tattoos, Stretchy noodles & More!

Don’t have small Kiddos, but still want to show your support? Surprise a neighbor, family member or sponsor a deserving family in the community!

The eggs will appear anytime after 7:00 PM on March 29th or March 30th. All orders must be placed by March 23rd. In the event of inclement weather, all eggs will be delivered left in a bag on a porch for safekeeping.
