Easter Basket Ideas Dairy & Nut Free
Looking for the perfect dairy-free and nut-free treats for Easter baskets this year?
My kids have some favorites from over the years, and it's not even junk candy...promise!
Moms will love these basket stuffer ideas just as much as my kids do.
When we first started managing food allergies over a decade ago,
I remember not knowing what the heck to put in my son's first Easter basket.
No chocolate bunnies.
No cream eggs.
No malt eggs.
How was this going to be any fun?!
I seriously resorted to a raisins and teddy grahams egg hunt back in those days.
It's a wonder my kid isn't scarred for life.
Thankfully, things changed.
One, companies started making holiday treats that are allergy-friendly.
Two, non-food fun started to become a thing.
Three, this mama kicked it in gear and got resourceful.
So if you're still in the deer-in-headlights stage of food allergy life...
or even a seasoned allergy mom looking for some fresh new ideas...
I'm so excited to share some cool things we've stuffed Easter baskets with over the past 18 years!
No more raisins and Teddy Grahams.
And my kids look forward to these Easter treats year after year, now even as teenagers.
ALLERGY-FRIENDLY EASTER BASKET CANDY
First up, you gotta get the candy.
And these ideas are better than raisins, thankfully.
I really enjoy ordering natural, allergy-friendly candy for the holidays.
It can be a splurge, but what better time to do that than special celebrations?!
Yay for no artificial flavor, color, or preservatives.

EASTER EXPERIENCE GIFTS
Looking for something 100% allergy-free?
My boys LOVE getting hand-written experience coupons for fun things like...
- no school day
- park day
- snack run
These are the gifts that keep giving all year long because the kids get to pick when to use them.
Just make sure the kids actually redeem them eventually.
My boys hoard these so much that some years they didn't get used.
Assure your kiddos they are meant to be redeemed and when they are gone, there may be more for other holidays!
Think Valentine's Day, Christmas stocking stuffers, etc.
NON-CANDY EASTER BASKET FILLERS
Lastly, my kids have always enjoyed food-free Easter treats, as well.
One year we decked them out in outdoor exploring gear for toddlers.
It was so fun!
Now as teens, I'm sure they'd like t-shirts or Sonic gift cards.
But here are some smaller and simpler non-food ideas to get your wheels turning (affiliate links on Amazon)
And with that, you should be well on your way to filling those Easter baskets with some treats your kids will love!
Hope these Easter ideas are helpful to you!
