Now I don’t know about you but my children are fiends for chocolate every Easter. They cheer when the eggs come in the shop and always panic if I haven’t got some already weeks before! However the same cannot be said for all children. Some children simply don’t like chocolate and others may not be able to have it – one of my oldest daughter’s friends cannot have Easter eggs because she is dairy free and she doesn’t really like the dairy free alternatives either.
Celebrating Easter needn’t be hard though when there are a number of different things you can get as an alternative gift this Easter.
Step in Squishmallows.
Unless you are living under a rock, you have probably heard of them. They are collectible plush toys and don’t I just know about it. My daughter has made it her mission to collect the lot…and believe me, there is so many! They are among the softest plush toys around and each character comes with their own unique name such as the Yellow Chick Easter Cookie which is called Aimee! They all have their own storyline too which I find super cute. Whether you are a child or adult collector, they are super fun!
Squishmallows are a popular brand of egg shaped plushes which were launched in 2017. Tget gace over 1,000 designs and are made with a soft stretchy fabric and stuffing. They range in sizes and have had official partnerships with brands such as Disney, Star Wars and Pokemon!
We were sent two of the new Squishmallows from the Easter range so we could show you why they make a great alternative gift.
We were sent Buttons the Bunny and Mak the Cat and they have been such a hit in my house. In fact, such a hit that my oldest daughter (the Squishmallows collector) has had to hide them away from her younger sister who has taken a shine to them!
They are so lovely and being egg shaped, are a cute little nod to Easter eggs. Whether you can have the chocolate eggs or not, these make such a nice Easter gift and would be great for your children if you are putting together an Easter basket for them.
If you are looking to pick up a couple of the Easter Squishmallows offerings, then you should be able to find them in most stores both online and offline including Smyths Toys, The Entertainer, B&M, Argos and Amazon.
Will you be purchasing these for your loved ones this Easter?
Squishmallows are the BEST! We have a few of them dotted around the house. They are so adorable.
This is an awesome idea. Kids may love chocolate, but they’ll love these even more. They’re super fun.
This is such a great idea, especially for families looking for something different this Easter. Not every child can enjoy chocolate, so having fun alternatives like Squishmallows makes it feel just as special. I love that they are soft, collectible, and still keep that Easter feel with the egg shape. Buttons the Bunny sounds adorable, and I can definitely see how they would become a favorite quickly. This is a really thoughtful option for Easter baskets.
