Creating Easter Baskets for Teens or Tweens is difficult. They too old for stuffed bunnies and cute baby toys. In fact, they often act as though they are already world-weary and bored with everything but their phone.
At the same time, they still want to be kids. They still want to believe in the Easter Bunny (even though they know it’s you), have the fun of hunting for eggs and getting a basket of candy and gifts. After a few weeks of hunting, I came up with 10 ideas of gift ideas perfect for teen Easter baskets.

Girl Gifts
Jewelry is a great gift choice for tween girls. The Sweet Girl Necklace is super cute! Tween and early teens is an awkward age for girls. A necklace that reinforces positive affirmations is perfect. There multiple other options, if you want something more in the holiday spirit.
Grab the Candy Necklace here – It’s adorable and affordable!
We go through about 6 million Hair Ties each month. I wish I was kidding. I always give at least one packet of these things to my daughter every holiday. The Spring Colors Elastic Coil Hair Ties will give her a bit of spring color in her wardrobe and are very kind to hair! If anyone knows where the lost ones go after being worn once, please let me know. My current theory is that they’re partying it up with the missing dryer socks… but I could be wrong.
Stock up on Elastic Coils for Spring! You’ll thank me later.
By the time Spring rolls around, those September backpacks are faded, stained and worn. This affordable school backpack comes in a variety of colors and protection for laptops or tablets. It’s highly rated and rarely returned.
Boy Gifts
Magnetic Fidget Pen
Tweens love hands-on activities, and the Magnetic Fidget Pen is a hit. It’s a perfect mix of science, fun and creativity. Totally epic. It’ll keep him entertained and away from screens for at least an hour.
Get the Fidget Pen – it’s a magnetic Choice!
Rocket Copters
What’s an Easter basket without a bit of outdoor fun? Rocket Copters are launched with a slingshot, lighting up the sky as they spin back down. They’re fun for family get-togethers and that never gets old.
Launch into Fun! Grab the Rocket Copters!
For Any Teen or Tween
What kid wouldn’t love to see Mom and Dad eating “ear wax” or “vomit” flavored candy? The Bean Boozled game does just that and then serves up another mystery flavor. Yum!
My kids have picked up my habit of reading in bed early. They, usually, end the day with reading before going to sleep. A book light is perfect for that or to take on summer camping trips. It’s also highly requested by college students!
Every teen and tween has a set of earbuds. It is standard for daily life… or at least that’s what I’ve been told after the latest pair gave up the ghost. They also get lost at an astonishing rate! A new pair Ear Buds in an Easter Basket will definitely be appreciated and used.
Even Easter Baskets for older kids (or adults) have to include a bunch of candy. Unicorn Farts is packaged cotton candy that is sweet and a great joke. It’s a fun idea for a generation raised thinking that the poop emoji is super cute and wearable.
10. When my kids were little, coloring books were always in their baskets. Now that they’re old, they’ve outgrown those simplistic “Peter Cottontail” style coloring books. I found this highly rated Easter Coloring Book, perfect for teens or adults! Coloring for relaxation is one of the most popular hobbies these days.
