It used to be that Easter baskets were filled with Peeps, jelly beans, and eggs ⏤ maybe there was a stuffed rabbit in the mix. Nowhere was there a wrapped Star Wars figure, Furby, or Hot Wheels car. It was not Christmas morning. The Easter Bunny was in the business of hiding eggs, not making toys.

Well, times have changed. And while it’s up to parents to decide how all-in they want to go with Easter presents, we’re opting to keep things simple with this list of Easter basket gifts under $25 gifts that actually fit in said basket. Also, as it’s only a few days until Easter, all of the Easter basket toys here can be delivered in two days with Amazon Prime.

Pete the Cat: Big Easter Adventure

It makes total sense that if the Easter Bunny needed help decorating and hiding eggs, she’d call on the world’s chillest cat. And, of course, Pete is up to the task in this fun holiday book that comes with a poster, 12 Easter cards, and stickers.

Only then will the creature who lives inside start to crack open their shell and emerge. There are more than 70 glittery-winged creatures in the first series to hatch.
