Who Says Adults Can’t Enjoy Easter Gifts?
You know when you have something on your heart where you just want to bless someone with a little something? That’s exactly how I feel around Easter.
I usually love to make little gifts or treats for most holidays, but Easter is something special. While I don’t always give explicitly ‘Christian’ gifts around Easter, the motivation behind it is that the gift of new life we’ve been given in Jesus is an occasion to share that love to others. You’re showing love. You’re showing care. And a thoughtful little gift communicates that, even small ones. And hopefully that points to the Source of it all.
When I first started thinking about DIY Easter gifts for adults, I wondered if it might feel a little… childish, maybe? But then I thought, “You know what? Easter kind of brings out the kid in all of us, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little bit of whimsy to make us feel like a kid again.”
What Kind of Small Gifts Can I Give for Easter?
To that end, I’ve pulled together this collection of small Easter gift ideas. These are homemade Easter gifts that won’t break the bank—many using Dollar Tree supplies—so you can create cute, meaningful presents without stress or a huge financial burden.
I’ve included everything from DIY candy jars and sweet treats to non-candy gift ideas for those who might prefer something different. Plus, many of these come with free printable tags that make your life even easier! And y’all know how I love a free printable tag!😂
Most of these ideas can be made in bulk, which means you can whip up a bunch at once for easy, quick, and frugal gift-giving.

Honestly, these Easter gift ideas are for anyone you want to bless this season.
You can give these Easter gifts for coworkers who help you get through the day.
You can make these as Easter gifts for teachers and coaches who pour into your kids daily.

You can even give these even sweet Easter gifts to friends and neighbors who deserve a little something special.
