The burlap is sturdy for whatever you choose to stuff the bag with. The bunny ears add the perfect accent and the bag is spacious enough to be used way past Easter. The bags come in a set of three, so they’re perfect if you plan to make a baskets for several people.

An egg toss with actual eggs can be messy, but Move2Play combines the fun of an egg toss without any of the mess. The plush toy, which is machine washable and made from recycled water bottles, can be thrown in the air and depending on how hard or soft it’s caught, or ultimately dropped, the egg emits funny sounds and up to 40 different phrases. This interactive Easter game can be played by children ages three and up.

It doesn’t get any cuter, or softer, than this plush stuffed animal. The only thing more adorable than the floppy ears with heart designs is the shirt that reads “Some bunny loves you.” Measuring 11 inches tall, the bunny arrives gift-ready, wrapped in plastic with a neat little bow. This would make a great addition to a large basket or as a standalone gift.
