The best Easter basket stuffers for boys are fun, useful, NOT junky, and most of all…inexpensive.
So, bunnies, we’ve gathered a batch of small (ish) toys and gifts that are the perfect Easter basket stuffers for boys. Some are classic, some are trendy, and none of them will cost you too much green.
We’ve noted the package size for items that are a little larger so you can gauge if it will fit in the Easter basket or container you’re using. Or you can wrap the larger item for a nice Easter gift for a boy. Either way, you may find the package size helpful.

BeanBoozled Game
BeanBoozled Game
BeanBoozled is one of my favorite Easter basket stuffers for boys and girls of all ages. It’s real simple. Kids give the spinner a flick, see where it lands, then choose the jelly bean that matches the picture. It could be a delicious treat, or it could be a nasty nightmare!
Maybe it’s the 12-year-old boy sense of humor in me, but there’s just something hilarious about watching someone’s face as they unwittingly try a moldy-cheese-flavored jelly bean.
BeanBoozled is a fun and inexpensive Easter basket stuffer. The one pictured is one game (the spinner box and jelly beans). Around Easter they do go in and out of stock, but don’t pay more than $4-$6 for a single game. This one here is one game plus four refills.
