The 15 Best Easter Gifts of 2022

Easter is right around the corner, and that means that hollowed out chocolate bunnies, plastic eggs, overfilled baskets, and pastel colors will soon be taking over everywhere you look. While there’s something nostalgic about all of the above, they’re not exactly the best gifts for anyone over the age of ten.

Live plants, gardening tools, and gift baskets laden with goodies are all more personal ways to show someone that you’re thinking about them this Easter. Plus, they’re also a great way to lift the spirits as we head into the warmer months (and we could all use some of that this year).

Here, the best Easter gifts that are thoughtful, not cheesy.
