31 Easter Basket Ideas For Teens

Inside: Awesome Ideas For Teenage Easter Baskets.

Deciding what gifts to get teenagers is a task that is notoriously difficult. They’re no longer kids, so you can’t get them something too childish, but they’re still young enough where you want to get them something.

And then, there’s Easter.

Teenagers are way too cool to participate in the annual egg hunt or receive the typical basket with fake grass and a ton of candy and toys; so what do you do? Have no fear!

This guide will list out plenty of ideas that will help you to create an age appropriate basket for every teenager in your life and to see the specific Easter basket for teen boys ideas right here.

Easter Gifts For Teens

Make your teenager’s Easter “eggstra” special!

1. Movie Night: This is a perfect idea for a teenager because they’ll definitely put it to use! Stuff the basket with popcorn, their favorite candy, and a gift card to a nearby movie theater. 
2. Use A Hat: Skip the basket entirely, (because, let’s be honest, you know they’ll probably toss it after they take the goodies out) and substitute it for a hat! A baseball cap, a beanie, or a floppy beach hat would work perfectly and you can customize it.
3. For The Artist: This is a super useful basket for the teen artist in your life! Pencils, paints, crayons, even a little sketch book would be great items to include.
4. Backpack Basket: For this idea, you can grab a drawstring bag or a backpack and fill it with age appropriate items! Gift cards to their favorite fast food joint, they’re favorite snacks and candy, a t-shirt or two. This way, they get to enjoy the perks of an Easter basket while also having something they can use afterwards!
5. Make It Edible: Pick up a roll of double sided tape, a few boxes of the teen’s favorite candy, and fashion them into a basket! Then stuff it with Easter essentials like fake grass and chocolate eggs.
6. Personalized Crate: This idea is SO cool! It takes a little bit of work, but in the end it’s really worth it. Your teen not only gets a great easter basket, but they now also have a personalized storage compartment for their room!
7. Helmet Basket: Another super practical alternative to a basket! It can be a helmet for a sport, or one for riding their wheels. Either way, they’ll be able to put it to use after they eat all the candy stuffed inside!
8. Game Night: Grab a few card games and some other goodies to fill the basket! They can use these for a fun night with their friends or you can play them that same day.
9. Money Honey!: If there’s one thing that teens will always appreciate no matter what, it’s money! You can even create a super awesome gift basket out of a couple of bills to really make it creative.
