Beach Themed Easter Basket Gift Ideas

Almost every spring break, our family goes on a big trip. And inevitably we usually leave for the trip the day after Easter.

So I started an Easter basket tradition throughout the years without even realizing it until now. Our girls’ Easter baskets are always beach-themed or travel-themed depending on our spring break destination.

I usually have to buy some things to pack for the vacation anyway, so why not put those things in their Easter basket instead of the suitcase? The best part is I know every single item will be put to use immediately, and I’m not wasting money on things my kids don’t need.

If you have a beach vacation planned for your spring break this year and need some last minute basket fillers, I pulled together some beach themed Easter basket gift ideas for every age. (Even if you don’t have a beach trip planned for spring break, all of the basket stuffers come in handy for summer right around the corner.)

They’re all from Amazon, and you can have most of them shipped to you within 24-48 hours… just in case you’re in a bit of a time crunch.

beach themed easter basket gift ideas for babies and toddlers

Beach Basket Gifts for Babies & Toddlers

1. Sun Hat | $18

Protects those sweet sensitive baby noggins while being so darn cute in a seersucker print.

2. Sandscreen Sand Remover | $25

Best beach find ever! If you don’t want to bring half the beach home with you, this removes sand from your feet (or anywhere) easily.

3. Reef Safe Sunscreen | $12

We love this natural sunscreen that is reef safe, SPF 50+, and hypoallergenic.

4. Waterproof Rainbow Fish Book | $9

Stuff this in the beach bag when baby needs a break from the ocean and needs a little storytime nap in the shade.

5. Sand Free Quick Dry Beach Towel | $30

Okay, hear me out… I would never normally pay $30 for a towel BUT when it’s quick dry and sand free and comes in a carrying pouch, I’m willing to make an exception.

6. Baby Beach Tent | $36

Always good to have a shady place for baby to play and nap on the beach, and this one is adorable.

7. Water Shoes | $16

To protect those newly walking feet from sharp sea shells and hot sand.

8. RuffleButts / RuggedButts Swimsuit | $27

I am hooked on this brand! My youngest is starting to outgrow her RuffleButts, but their quality is so good and they have the cutest prints.

9. Whale Sprinkler | $13

This is technically meant to be a bath toy, but it’s great to play with in the pool too.

10. Fishing Play Set | $8

The classic game to hone little one’s motor skills. The perfect toddler game to play on the beach.

11. Waterproof Baby Carrier | $90

Especially a good idea if you have multiple little ones to handle in the pool, this allows you to hold the baby hands-free.

12. Fish Teether | $10

Keep it in the beach bag for little one to get some teething relief on vacay.

Beach Basket Gift Ideas for Kids (Ages 3-6)

1. Sea Shell Collecting Bag | $7

So much better than shell collecting in a plastic bag or bucket! And kiddos can carry their own sand toys in it so you’re lugging slightly less.

2. Reef Sandals | $32

My youngest walked thousands of steps all over London, Stockholm, and Paris last summer and they held up perfectly! No blisters at all. And they’re waterproof.

3. Hooded Swim CoverUp | $17

So cute and classic and easy to toss on if your kids need to walk through a resort that requires a coverup.

4. Collapsible Travel Sand Toys | $22

I just bought these for my kids’ Easter baskets this year so we can pack them tightly in our carry-on without taking up too much room.

5. Kite | $20

I love the prints from this brand. Looks like something from Pottery Barn Kids but costs less.

6. Beach Scavenger Hunt Game | $6

A fun one to keep littles entertained on the beach while exploring nature.

7. Underwater Viewing Bucket | $30

If your kiddo doesn’t like putting their head underwater yet (especially if they hate getting water in their ears), this is a way they can “snorkel” while staying above water.

8. Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator | $16

The dreaded sunscreen rub down is a whole lot easier with this roll-on applicator. Fill it with your sunscreen of choice and apply it mess-free.

9. Curious George Goes to the Beach Storybook | $5

A total classic but always a good one, especially to read before bed in the hotel on a beach trip.

10. Swim Ring Pool Float | $25

This looks so chic! Serena & Lily vibes but affordable.

Would you like to save this?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

11. Uno H20 To Go | $20

Our family is slightly obsessed with Uno, especially on vacation with the grandparents. This one can be used poolside (or in the pool) since it’s waterproof.
