21 Easter Gift Ideas for Adults Who Don’t Want Chocolate
By Sophie Carter - 15th April 2025
As sunny yellow daffodils pepper landscapes and supermarket shelves brim with chocolate, we begin to get excited for Easter celebrations. For many, spending quality time with family and friends is what Easter is all about, and gifting chocolate is a great way to signify the end of lent and the beginning of brighter times. But who says a spring pick-me-up needs to be something edible? We believe that gifting at any time of the year should be joyful and personal to the recipient, and if you're looking for a gift for someone special, it's can be worthwhile thinking outside the box. While chocolate is scrummy, it only lasts a moment, and you might be looking for a treat or trinket they can treasure for time to come. We've compiled a list of our top 21 personal, practical, and truly delightful Easter gifts for him or for her that bear no similarities to the infamous chocolate egg.
What is an appropriate gift for Easter?
While chocolate is usually considered a great gift for Easter, there is actually no such thing as the ideal Easter gift. Much like most gifting occasions, the gift you select should have the recipient's likes, hobbies, and passions at the centre. If they're a jewellery lover, why not treat them to a pretty piece to help extend their collection? Or if they're a big fan of flowers, a beautiful spring-themed bunch will never go amiss.
What is a good non-chocolate Easter gift for her?
Much like chocolate, flowers tend to be a go-to gifting choice for women. There is no reason why a bunch of beautiful spring florals can't be gifted for Easter, and quite often a floral arrangement is ideal for injecting a dash of spring into the home.
Whether it's a fresh bunch of tulips you slot into a vase on their kitchen worktop, or a floral-patterned accessory such as a jewellery case or wash bag, pretty petals make for a great springtime pick-me-up.

What can I get a guy for Easter instead of chocolate?
Chocolate - or any other tasty food gifts - can often be failsafe options when it comes to gifting for men. If they're not a chocolate lover, or you just want to gift them something a little different, heading towards pieces with a practical element can sometimes be more appreciated by men than sentimental presents. Consider his hobbies, likes, and passions when you're selecting a great Easter gift, and you're unlikely to go far wrong.

What's a good Easter-themed gift that isn't made of chocolate?
There's no doubt that chocolate isn't for everyone. But just because someone isn't a chocolate fan, doesn't mean they can't join in the Easter gifting fun. With so many fun Easter themes that play into gifting this time of year, why not tailor your gift to include elements of springtime?
While colourful flowers bloom and baby animals like lambs, bunnies, and chicks make their entrance into the world, many traditional Easter gifts centre around bright colours, fancy florals, and adorable animals. If your recipient likes to take advantage of a sudden spell of warmer weather, Easter is a great time to get out into nature. Consider gardening-themed gifts that are both practical and thoughtful, to put a spring in their step this season.

What can I gift for Easter under £20 that isn't chocolate?
If you're not keen on gifting them chocolate but you're not totally against consumables as a whole, a delicious drink gift can be just the ticket to kickstart some spring celebrations. An alcohol gift doesn't have to be big to be appreciated, and sometimes a token tipple paired with their favourite mixer is ideal for enjoying in the spring sunshine.
Alternatively, anything small but sentimental can pack a lot of impact when it comes to any gifting occasion. Consider treasurable token gifts that can remind them of spring. Whether it's something practical like a hair accessory, or something they're unlikely to treat themselves to, a small but sweet piece makes a wonderful Easter gift without an expiry date.
