Better-than-chocolate Easter Gifts!

Whilst we fully accept Easter and chocolate are firmly stuck together, sometimes we want to gift something that won't only be remembered by the tummy ache on Sunday afternoon!

The Cheerfully Given sellers have created some epic Easter gifts that will bring joy to the recipient and encourage them to keep looking to Jesus for the rest of the year as well - with the added bonus of no icky stomachs!

Grab the paints, the pens, the crayons - whatever the favourite medium is in your household, clear some space, and colour your way through Holy Week!

This jumbo Easter colour sheet from And Hope Designs makes a great family Easter gift as it gives parents a chance to discuss the events of Easter with little ones, with plenty of space for everyone to colour their own corner.

Given Easter's resounding theme is how God loved us enough to save us, this is the perfect book to read to children and show them the truth of God's love.

Perfect for 2 - 8 year olds, this engaging children's book is written by Emma Allen and illustrated by Georgina Peters of Ooh I Like That Design. A non-chocolate Easter gift that can be reread throughout the year!

A great way to introduce young ones to Bible study, this guided kit from Christian Lettering Company is a fantastic tool to help little ones.

Complete with postcards and bookmarks that can be coloured in, stickers to write on and a '30 Days With Jesus' reading plan, this is a great way to encourage kids to start looking at the Bible themselves.

Scripture cards can be a great way to memorise Bible verse or have them around. The fun designs on these Bible verse cards are a great way for kids to learn who they are and who God is!

An ideal Christian Easter gift for little ones that is a little out of the ordinary but can be used daily as encouragement.

A stunning re-think of a cross ring, the sterling silver closed cross ring
by Amy May Jewellery makes a unique gift for jewellery lovers.

How many times do you catch yourself fiddling with a piece of jewellery? This ring is perfectly placed to make the wearer stop and truly ponder the gift Jesus gave us through His death on the Cross.

Isn't the rose gold absolutely stunning?! For those that want something a bit different from gold or silver, this sideways cross bracelet by Bloom Jewellery makes an elegant Easter gift options.

We love the way it's designed to lay across the wrist and not dig in, and is ideal for those that prefer dainty jewellery.

Cross stud earrings are a staple (especially if you want to avoid something dangly that could get caught or pulled at by little hands!) but these by Jordan Lily Designs have that extra special touch of being crafted from high-quality sterling silver and finished with a lovely hammered texture.

A great understated set to gift to anyone who likes their earrings!

Alice and the Mustard Seed's watercolour pendant necklaces are a quirky alternative to dainty jewellery and this one features 1 John 4:19 - We love because He first loved us - absolutely perfect as an Easter gift.

Each pendant is engraved with the Bible verse on the back and features a watercolour backdrop. (If you like the idea but fancy a different verse, check out Alice Pirrie's shop here!)

Who can resist a good notebook?! If you've a stationery lover in your life, these A5 lined notebooks with an engraved word on the front (choose from faith, hope, love, and beloved - all great words for Easter!) make a practical gift for them to use in their own quiet time or to take sermon notes!

Stamps! Who can resist them?! Doodling Faith have created their own set of Bible journaling stamps and we're loving this Names of God stamp set.

For those who struggle handlettering, stamps can be a great tool! They're also a great starting block for a page of Bible journaling. For the Bible journaling lover, we reckon these would make a useful and beautiful addition to their stash!

This guided testimony journal is a poignant alternative to a normal journal as the questions mean you can look back in the future and see how God has led through the years.

For young and mature Christians, this journal is a fantastic gift to encourage their faith, with sections dedicated to spiritual goals, weekly thanksgiving, helpful Bible verses, and much more that has been designed to help the receiver's faith flourish and grow strong.

For the bakers in your life, this Easter cake topper, embroidered by Little Dove & Co., can be brought out year after year and add a whimsical touch to the top of a cake whilst also stating the powerful and vital truth of Easter: He is Risen!

Know someone who could do with a nice little spark of encouragement through their letterbox this Easter? This gift box from This Little L contains a resin and wood cross necklace, ideal as an Easter gift, a teabag, and a biscuit (sure, it's sugar but not chocolate so we can still count it!!).

A stationery-lover's gift box! Kiwi Tree Designs has created this elegant and practical gift box of treats with a 3D cross papercut card, a notepad (who doesn't love a notepad?!), a mini papercut flag featuring Proverbs 16:3, and a set of teardrop paper clips. Like we said, a treasure trove for stationery lovers!
