Let’s talk about family Easter gifts! Easter is a time for family – extended, immediate, and those we lovingly call family.
Who remembers Aunt Darla’s marshmallow salad at brunch? Sunrise service in your Sunday best? Hats for the ladies, pastel suits for your little brother? Baskets of eggs and treats, and for some reason, a bunny? It never gets old, right?
All of these things lead to a celebration, because the resurrection of Christ is always worth celebrating. When you think of a celebration, you think of joy, feasts, and gifts. These things contribute to a wonderful and memorable time for the whole family. Joy comes from the Lord, feasts come from everyone pitching in and cooking, and gifts come from… well, see below!
We’ve rounded up some great Easter gifts that go beyond the typical plastic eggs and candy. You’re welcome!

The video above is a great tutorial to get you started on the fabulous new hobby of basket-weaving.
