With Easter only a few days away it’s time to be thinking about what to put in those Easter baskets for your kids. Our family doesn’t  go crazy at Easter time. We’ve always tried to stick to the whatever fits in your basket rule , except for the year we got a trampoline. We  obviously didn’t stick to the rule that time, but the screams of excitement from our kids made it all worth it!!

I also think it’s fun to think outside of the box a little and do something other than the traditional Easter Basket.  It’s easy to just throw a bunch of candy in there and be done. I’ve never really thought much about doing anything different than using their traditional basket but there are actually  a lot of fun and creative ideas out there! It might be fun to switch things up one year and surprise the kids!!

If you have a child who plays sports or baseball this is a fun way by putting everything in a hat! I also love the idea of doing Pringles! My kids love them!

Ideas for Teens and Tweens

Oh the teenage years…. these years can be a little tricky for Easter baskets.  I found a couple of ideas that I thought would be fun!

This basket that katherinemarie.com did is such a fun and unique idea!  She chooses a color and everything in the basket is that color. She has other examples of baskets she has done in other colors. How fun is that???

I know my kids love going to the movies so they would definitely be happy with this basket!!! And what kid doesn’t love gift cards??? I even think they would be just as happy with a couple of bags of popcorn and a couple of boxes of  candy and a gift card just in their basket!! You can decide how grand you want to go!

Other ideas for tween/ teen girls for their baskets: finger nail polish in a plastic egg, fingernail file, notebook, journal, makeup, jewelry in an egg, money, shirt rolled up, flip-flops, colorful pens, perfume, curling iron , EOS , gift card, money in an egg, socks, books, adult coloring books, colored pencils, brush markers, water bottle.

Ideas for teen/ tween boys: hat, basket ball shorts, t-shirt, socks, money in an egg, gift cards, sunglasses, socks, water bottle, wallet, fishing stuff, baseball cards, Lego’s, magazine, cologne
