I’ve seen a lot of non-candy Easter basket ideas going around. Don’t get me wrong – my kids will get plenty of sweets. But I love the idea of creating a theme that includes candy and non-candy gift ideas.
My family enjoys all the geeky things like Star Wars, Marvel, and Doctor Who. So I browsed Amazon.com and came up with a few food and non-food items to add to a themed Easter basket.
Update: I added ideas for fans of Avatar the Last Airbender and Jurassic Park/World!
These are all a lot of fun for adults who love pop culture. Teens and kids will enjoy them too, so mix and match the items to create the perfect basket for anyone!

Unique Easter baskets
Star Wars Easter basket
In the Star Wars candy department, I found lots of choices! You could include Star Wars Fun Dip, Ring Pops with the Mandalorian and Grogu, a chocolate and marshmallow Grogu, or even a giant gummy Grogu.
If your kids love Star Wars and LEGO together, look for mini kits that have just a few pieces, like this Microfighter series. Pictured below are Han Solo with the Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett with the Slave 1.
Small items like Pop It! fidgets and Star Wars keychains are also great gifts for adults. Or look for the smaller Funko Pop figures. Pictured below are a Darth Vader Pop It!, a Princess Leia keychain, and a Bo Katan Funko figure.
Craft books and activity kits are some of my favorite holiday gifts for big kids (around the 8-12 age range). My kids have this Star Wars origami book and have made several cute figures.
Marvel and Avengers baskets
Looking for Marvel and Avengers Easter candy, I came across pre-filled Easter eggs and Marvel character Pez dispensers.
When it comes to action figures, mystery bags are always fun. Try a Marvel Tsum Tsum Mystery Pack. Or if you want to choose a specific character, how about a Lip Smackers keychain?
While I was window shopping, I found these adorable Marvel Easter shirts! Pictured below: Spider-Man, Captain America and Captain Marvel, and Hulk.
Books are a favorite holiday gift at my house too. Early readers will love World of Reading Super Hero Adventures. Teens might enjoy the Marvel Avengers The Ultimate Character Guide; look for a companion guide or comic with their favorite hero, like this She-Hulk graphic novel.
Doctor Who gift ideas
Although technically not an official Doctor Who item, jelly babies are the essential sweet treat for fans.
Fluxx is one of those fantastic family card games that can be played over and over. There are tons of versions, including one for Doctor Who – plus a 13th Doctor expansion pack.
The cutest collectibles I’ve come across are geared toward teens and adults. Pictured: the 13th Doctor journal, Doctor Who coffee mug, and Adipose Funko keychain.
This Doctor Who coloring book features tons of unique pages to color. I always make copies of the pages on my printer so we can keep the original book and use it over and over.
Pokémon Easter basket
This Pokémon Pez dispenser set includes the first-generation starters and is perfect for dividing up between Easter baskets – or putting them all in one. Or divide out mini packs of Pokemon fruit snacks and graham crackers.
Mad Libs are always a good way to stir up the giggles. This one includes stories about Ash, Pikachu, and their adventures meeting other Pokémon.
Nanoblocks are a fun (and tiny) alternative to LEGO sets. They make a ton of Pokémon, including this Venusaur.
Pokémon Seek and Find includes pages of stories, puzzles, and stickers.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Easter basket
There isn’t any official Avatar: The Last Airbender candy, so grab a few of your favorite Easter treats and add a few toys and a book or plush.
In the small toy department, kids might like this Hot Wheels Aang car or a plush sky bison Pillow Pet. These Little People Avatar characters are adorable. For older kids, add this Avatar Legends dice game.
There are tons of comic books and graphic novels in this series. For young readers, try the I Am Aang Little Golden Book.
Jurassic Park Easter basket
Fill your basket with dinosaur candy like these Haribo gummy dinosaurs, a chocolate dinosaur egg, or fruit chew dino eggs.
For little kids, add this DUPLO Jurassic World t-rex. For big kids, I like this LEGO Jurassic World velociraptor set. This Jurassic World matching game is fun and educational. And this plush baby dinosaur is adorable!
Add a book, like Jurassic Park Little Golden Book or Jurassic World Look and Find Activity Book.
