20 Alternatives to Traditional Easter Grass

The grass the Easter Bunny traditionally stuffs into baskets is not exactly bunny food. Plus, it's messy, tacky and not good for the environment. So, this year just say 'no' to Easter's answer to tinsel and try one of the following alternatives. More interesting than paper from the shredder, and there's something for everybody, no matter the age of the recipient.

1. Legos
2. Leftover gift bows
3. Sports balls, as in the golf or tennis variety
4. New, balled up socks
5. Sprouted wheat grass (check out this post at Zakka Life for a how-to)
   
6. Pompons
7. Felt
8. Small pillow
9. Crumpled tissue paper
10. Folded up article of new clothing
11. Silk flowers
12. Curling ribbon
13. Fluffy slippers
14. Stuffed animal(s)
15. Nuts as in peanuts or even packing peanuts too
    
16. Cloth or fake fur
17. Popcorn
18. Licorice bits
19. Silk or paper leaves
20. Plastic army men or zoo animals
