Alternative Easter gifts

If you are anything like us you may have only just seen the back of all the Christmas chocolates the kids received, so the thought of another load for Easter is a little worrying with all the healthy eating we try to promote with the kids.




This year i have decided to ask family to buy them a non chocolate gift or to simply give some time and take them out which for the kids would be a much more memorable Easter and the opportunity to spend quality time with family which is really difficult when everyone is so busy.

I have put together some ideas for you if you too would like give or request some alternative gifts for Easter for all the family.

From Addo playYour very own cuddly best friend with the Out to Impress Bunny!
This cute crafts set gives you everything you need to make a cuddly soft toy. Use the thread and stuffing and bring your bunny to life!Once complete, name your new friend on the included adoption certificate.
This Make Your Own Teddy Bear Set's ideal for ages five and up.

What child wouldn't love this, creating and making your very own new best friend, and making him or her truly part of the family with their very own adoption certificate. My youngest is a huge rabbit fan so was totally over the moon to review this, being quite creative too it was nice for her to 'make her'. It was an activity we did together as would of been to difficult on her own at only 5, it was actually a change for me from the normal activities we do and i really enjoyed it too, she loved creating 'Pinky' and it gave her such pride in the finished product, who now takes special pride of place in her bed next to stinky old Tickly rabbit!

From Read my lips what about some Candy crush lip balms?
