The kids' favorite non-baskets to date were the wheelbarrows filled with gardening tools and seeds.

I usually give a couple small things for summer (sunscreen, flip-flops, goggles etc), and then check groupon for something to do. This year it's alien golf, laser tag, and a pirate boat outing. Cost me just a few more dollars than what I used to spend on candy and junk they don't want or forget about after a day.

We love Trugg totes. They come in different sizes and are flexible rubber type things with handles. This year I got totes from Mixed Bag. I think the kids will love them.
Jane Dorler
Stuffed beach bucket!
Marla Kessler Gottschalk
Squirt guns, water balls, sports shorts, and clearance t-shirts this year. A few candies and even money inside the eggs - we are learning to count various coins in school, so works out perfectly!
Cherie Dourlain
Bubbles, books and sidewalk chalk
Melissa Munroe
Anything they NEED... Socks, underwear, pajamas... I like to add books too!
Rachel Condeluci Becker
My oldest son loves to plant things, so I am putting a bunch of seeds and gardening stuff in his basket!
Stacey Weaver
Sidewalk chalk, oyster crackers (her favorite), stuffed bunny, bunny ears, seeds to plant in the backyard, mini gardening tools, balls (another favorite - kickball, tennis balls, etc...) and a couple of animals for her ZooTalkers zoo.
Nancy Lincoln Gearhart
Warmer weather PJs, goldfish crackers/bear grahams, crayons and coloring book, older kids get earbuds, tub toys, art supplies, perhaps a small doll...these are just my ideas and options... all of this does not go in one basket
Debra Scott Clingenpeel
Gardening things (seeds, tools, etc), butterfly net, dress-up things (wings, silly glasses with nose and mustache, tutu, etc) and always a new coloring book and stickers.
