Here are 10 fun and creative things to put in a teen’s Easter basket that go beyond just candy (but don’t worry, we’ve got some sweet treats too!):
-
Gift Cards – Think Starbucks, Amazon, Spotify, or their favorite clothing store. Even $5–$20 can go a long way.
-
Skincare Goodies – Face masks, lip balm, pimple patches, or a mini skincare set. Teens love self-care (and TikTok trends).
-
Mini Tech Accessories – PopSockets, phone stands, cute charging cables, or Bluetooth earbuds.
-
Snacks They Actually Want – Trader Joe’s goodies, Takis, Hot Cheetos, Pocky, or their favorite specialty candy.
-
Fidget or Desk Toys – Especially good for study breaks: think stress balls, mini puzzles, or kinetic sand.
-
Cool Socks or Slippers – Funky designs, fuzzy textures, or branded ones with their fave shows or characters.
-
Stickers & Stationery – For decorating water bottles, laptops, or journals. Add some gel pens or a fun notepad too.
-
Personalized Items – Keychains, name bracelets, or a custom tumbler.
-
Mini Games or Card Decks – UNO Flip, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, or a small brain teaser puzzle.
-
A Little Cash in Plastic Eggs – Because money hidden in eggs never gets old—just like the Easter Bunny’s charm.
