Personalised Easter Basket Ideas That Last Longer Than Chocolate

Personalised Easter Basket Ideas That Last Longer Than Chocolate

There is nothing wrong with chocolate eggs. But when the basket is nothing but sugar, the excitement is over by lunchtime. The best Easter baskets mix a few sweet treats with something personalised and lasting — a gift the child still plays with in June, not just on Easter Sunday.

Here is how to build an Easter basket that balances fun, meaning, and (a bit less) sugar.

The Formula: Chocolate + Keepsake + Something to Do

A great Easter basket has three layers:

1. Something sweet — a chocolate egg or bunny (you know the ones they love)
2. Something personalised — a keepsake with their photo or name
3. Something to do — an activity they can enjoy on Easter afternoon

Our personalised gifts cover the last two categories beautifully.

Best Easter Basket Stuffers Under £15

These fit perfectly alongside chocolate eggs without breaking the budget.

Custom Photo Jigsaw - 10x15cm (9 Pieces) - £10.00

The ultimate Easter basket stuffer. Nine chunky pieces featuring their favourite photo, small enough to tuck beside a chocolate bunny. Perfect for toddlers developing puzzle skills — the pieces are large and easy to grip.

Custom Photo Jigsaw - A4 (8 Pieces) - £13.00

A beginner-friendly jigsaw with extra-large pieces on a full A4 board. Upload a family photo, their pet, or a picture of them on holiday. Simple enough for ages 2-4 to complete independently.

Custom Lego Minifigure - £15.00

Upload a photo and we transform their face into a LEGO-style minifigure decal set. Kids aged 5 and up love seeing themselves as a LEGO character. Tuck it into the basket wrapped in tissue paper for an Easter morning surprise.

Custom Photo Jigsaw - A5 (30 Pieces) - £15.00

Thirty pieces with a decorative border — an ideal Easter afternoon activity for children aged six and above. The A5 size keeps it manageable while still providing a satisfying challenge.

Basket Centrepieces: £18-£25

These are the star gifts that anchor the basket — the ones they will remember.

Custom Photo Cube - £18.00

A working 3x3 Rubik's cube with photos on every face. Upload six different images and create a puzzle-meets-keepsake. Kids can scramble and solve to reveal family photos, pet portraits, or holiday snaps. Standard 5.7cm competition size with professional UV printing that will not peel or fade.

Custom Photo Jigsaw - A4 (40 Pieces) - £20.00

The sweet spot for primary school children. Forty pieces on an A4 board — challenging enough to occupy an Easter afternoon but achievable in one sitting.

LEGO Photo Brick Wall - £25.00

Their photo printed across 33 real LEGO bricks with custom text underneath. Standing 112mm x 115mm, it doubles as bedroom decor they will keep on display. Add their name, age, or "Easter 2026" as the message.

Round Acrylic RGB Light - £25.00

A colour-changing photo night light on a rechargeable wooden base. Upload their photo and it glows through every colour of the rainbow. Cordless, so it goes anywhere — bedside table, desk, or bookshelf. Kids love the RGB colour cycling and using it as a night light.

Custom Photo Jigsaw - 20cm Square (81 Pieces) - £25.00

Eighty-one pieces in a square format that suits Instagram-style photos perfectly. A proper challenge for older children and tweens.

How to Present Your Easter Basket

A few tips to make the basket look special:

• Use shredded tissue paper in pastel colours as a nest for the gifts
• Wrap personalised items in tissue paper so they are unwrapped like presents
• Place the chocolate on top — it is what they spot first and sets the Easter mood
• Add a handwritten note with a personal message
