Easter baskets

30 Easter Basket for Tweens & Teen Girls

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

Tween girls can be hard-to-please and we have lots of great ideas for filling their Easter baskets this year that they’ll love. My tween loves arts, crafts, games and other fun activities. I like to fill her basket with a few non-candy items for her to enjoy. Here are some ideas for filling an Easter basket for tweens that won’t break the bank.

Just like your daughter loved getting an Easter basket as a 9 and 10 year old, they’ll love getting a basket of goodies just for them. Tweens and teens have definitely developed their own personality and interests, and they’re all going to be a little bit different. That’s why I’ve divided this list into categories by interest. Whether you have a bookworm or a beauty guru, I’ve got you covered.

Gifts for the Bookworm

  • Journal
  • Book light
  • Page holder
  • Socks – Do Not Disturb, I’m Reading
  • Keychain – If I Can’t Take my Book I’m not Going
  • Bookmark
  • A tote bag for books – always could double as an Easter Basket for filling

Gifts for a Creative Easter Basket Tween or Teen

  • Gel pens
  • Journal set
  • DIY Dream Catcher
  • Nail Art Tools – stickers, beads, files, etc.
  • I am Confident, Brave and Beautiful coloring book
  • Watercolor Brush Pens
  • Creative Surprise Explosion Box
  • Blinger Glam Styling Tool
  • Decal Stickers for Laptop and Water Bottles

Gifts for the Beauty Guru Teen

  • Nail Polish Station
  • 20 Piece Hair Clips
  • Bath Bomb with nail polish surprise inside
  • 10 Fun Handbands
  • Lip Gloss set
  • Matte Scrunchies for Hair
  • Temporary Henna Tattoo Kit
  • Hair Brush Set
  • Mermaid Scales Make up bag – this could double as an Easter Basket for your teen.

Gifts for the Active Teen

  • Your Décor Color Your Own Water Bottle
  • Bluetooth headphone
  • Sports Fitness Tracker Watch
  • Fruit Infuser Water Bottle
  • Sequin Drawstring Bag – this could double as an Easter basket
  • Glitter Unicorn Youth Soccer Socks

Sometimes we need to think a little out of the box for gifts for our tweens and teens. The basics for girls of any age though I think is the same: fun. They might not be playing with Barbies anymore but they still want to have fun even if that’s more with practicing to wear make up instead of Barbies.

Top Easter Gifts – Ideas to Get You Started

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

What do Easter gifts look like in your house? Big and splashy? Small and simple? We tend to go both ways. One year there are a trampoline in our backyard from the bunny, one year a bike. But we try really hard to not go to big and flashy.

Gifts from the Dollar Store

I’ll be transparent: I go to the dollar store first. That is where I start shopping for Easter gifts for my kids. Its the price range I love. Plus, I’m not too worried what XYZ get chewed by the dog, or when the wind blows it into a field two miles away.

Bubble wands – these disappear throughout the summer, all summer

Pool toys – balls, dive sticks, loungers – these blow away, or we take them to the public pool and sometimes forget them

Easter baskets – they get broken and throw out within a day so I’m not wasting money on them

Plastic egg fillers – I only get them from the dollar store, small fun things

Gardening tools – Time to start thinking about digging in the yard

Gifts from Other Stores (ie: Amazon)

Amazon is my go to “place” to shop from now that my kids are older and notice what I am putting in the shopping cart now. Delivered to the door in a box that I can stash away. Here are some ideas for kids Easter gifts I’ll be buying this year:

Sports Equipment – a soccer ball, a baseball bat, etc.

Bubbles – I just don’t care for them from the dollar store, plus they are still really cheap from somewhere like Walmart

New Outfit – I always get my kids one spring/summer outfit

Chocolate! – Need I say more? We don’t give a lot but you need chocolate for Easter

Seeds – Kids love to watch things grow, maybe some fast growing peas/beans, something that they can eat too

Subscription Based Gifts

Bramble Box – let their imagination take them away

Green Kid Crafts – learn something new, like about space!

Little Passports – explore the USA or the World
