Here are some ideas for basket fillers courtesy of Kim Tilley:

Bunny Poop (Raisinets with a cute poem to go along with them)

Egg Buddies (little stuffed egg-shaped toys, can add ears and tails for all kinds of animals)

Carrot Treats - use sandwich baggie, fill with something orange - orange jelly beans, candy corn or even Cheetos (they are the perfect color!). Tie this off so that the orange goodies in the bag look like a carrot shape, then add some green plastic wrap, wrapping paper, or fabric to the top to look like a carrot.

Only $2.35!

How about coupons in the Easter basket - for bunny hugs, snuggles, or doing special special with the family.

Books might also be nice, and they don't have to be new.

All that said, we don't go all out and have mountains of candy for Easter. Lately we've been doing and egg hunt with minimal candy in their baskets, and then focusing on the religious aspect of the holiday.

Please share with us YOUR frugal Easter basket filler ideas!
