Filling Easter baskets is one of the holiday's cutest traditions, but those tiny treats can quickly add up. Before you stock up on dollar store candy and chocolates, consider these small gifts under $10 that are much more exciting. For toddlers and kids, you can buy bunny-theme board books or egg-shaped puzzles on Amazon that'll get use long after the holiday. Or, find festive basket stuffers for older kids and tweens, like a dragon egg with a 8-inch creature inside.

Our top picks:

Shopping for teen boys or girls that are too cool for toys? Try a bunny bag charm they can show off at school, a magnetic fidget pen our readers can't stop buying, or a light-up compact mirror they can toss in their purse. Most of these Easter gifts come from Amazon, so they'll arrive fast (and for free, if you're an Prime member).
