### Some holidays are more guilty than others for overloading children with candy and chocolate, and most grandparents don't want to add to the already sugar-fueled Easter celebration. 

We have come up with 11 creative and thoughtful items so that you can create a memorable Easter basket for your loved ones. 

## 1. [Squishys](https://www.scholarschoice.ca/soft-n-slo-squishies-small-by-orb-factory.html)

With so many colors and shapes, there is a squishy out there for everyone!
