When my kids entered middle school, shopping for Easter baskets became even more difficult. The little boy magic was gone and I had found it no an idea of what to put in an Easter basket for teenagers. Most of the options felt too friendly or like they would be forgotten on Wednesday – and I found myself wandering around wondering Do teenagers care about Easter baskets?
But I refuse to give up this tradition! Because, no matter how old they are, I want to use every opportunity to tell my children: I see you. I love you. He still deserves to be celebrated.
So I started getting creative with fun Easter basket ideas for teens that felt personal… and I’m happy to report my teens loved them! So I enlisted the help of my teenagers, Kaitlynn and Silas, to help me share what they liked or would be happy to find in their Easter baskets this year.
It turns out, there are many wonderful ways to fill an Easter basket with things your child will genuinely love. You just need a little inspiration — and you’ve come to the right place.
These gifts are sure to be loved by teenagers of all ages, and we’ve divided them into girls and boys so you have plenty of ideas for everyone.
