Easter Basket Ideas for Teenagers (They’ll Actually Love)

Shopping for teens at Easter can be tricky. They may have outgrown toys and Easter egg hunts, but they still love the fun of an Easter basket. The key? Think practical, meaningful, and just-for-fun items they’ll actually use.

Here are some Easter basket fillers perfect for teenagers:

–

Practical & Useful Favorites

New charging cables (they always disappear!)
Portable phone charger
Baseball cap
Makeup bag or toiletry pouch – I love this set!
Water bottle or tumbler

Teens love items they can throw in their backpack, sports bag, or car – and these get used daily.

Faith-Based & Meaningful Gifts

A Bible or devotional (My teens just requested this Bible)
Cross necklace or bracelet – My teen requested this necklace and this bracelet.
Scripture cards (Make it easy to memorize Scripture by providing cards they can set by their bed or tape to the mirror)
Journal for prayers or gratitude

These small gifts keep the focus on the true meaning of Easter while still feeling personal and special.

Fun & Active Ideas

Frisbee – One of my teens requested this frisbee boomerang
Pickleball set
Cologne/perfume
Nee-doh
Hacky sack
Dude Perfect Game

Snack & Treat Ideas

Protein snacks – My teenagers can’t get enough protein and LOVE these chips!
Gum or mints – This is the one my kids request!
Favorite candy – My teens love JOYRIDE!
Beef jerky
Bubbler or Alani drinks

Teens still like candy and snacks!

5 More Teen Easter Basket Ideas

Here are a few extras teens really love right now:

Chapstick or skincare items
Gift cards (coffee, fast food, apps)
Portable Speaker
Phone stand or pop socket
Socks (Nike, Adidas, or fun themed)

Most importantly…

As we fill baskets with fun surprises and useful gifts, let’s not forget why we celebrate Easter. It’s more than baskets, candy, and spring – it’s the celebration of Jesus conquering death. Because of Easter morning, we have joy that lasts far beyond Easter weekend.

Let’s point our teenagers to what matters most and give thanks for our RISEN Savior. He is the greatest gift of all.

5 Fun Easter Basket Fillers

What brings the biggest smile to my face on Easter morning isn’t the eggs or the baskets—it’s the joy of knowing that I follow a Savior who has risen from the dead (read more about that here). That’s the true reason we celebrate!

Now, what brings a smile to my kids’ faces? Easter baskets!
If you’re looking for a few fun, meaningful ideas to fill those baskets, here are five that are sure to bring joy to your kids on Easter morning.

But here’s my favorite recommendation of all: spend time together. A simple game of tag or hide-and-seek might just create more lasting memories than anything you could tuck inside a basket.

As we get ready to celebrate with our families, filling up baskets with little surprises is one way to share that joy with our kids.

1. A Card Game – Spot It, Uno, Rat-a-tat Cat

Put a card game in their basket and PLAY it with them!

2. Brain Games Sticker-by-number books

I can’t tell you how much I love these sticker-by-number books. They are fun and make ‘frame-worthy’ art.

3. Kanoodle, Jr. Puzzle Game

My 7-year old got this puzzle game for a Christmas gift and our entire family has played it. It’s a great ‘on-the-go’ game for kids. There are 60 different challenges to complete in this game. We highly recommend it!

4. A Devotional and/or Bible

Our very favorite devotionals for kids are by Louie Giglio. We are currently reading, The Wonder of Creation, but loved Indescribable too!

I have a list of my favorite Bibles here, but one of them is the Bible Storybook. It’s easy-to-read with colorful pictures.

5. Sidewalk Chalk

Put a bunch of chalk in their basket, then go outside and create art and inspiration for your neighborhood or local park.

If you are looking for a church to visit on Easter, you can come with my family, or I can recommend a church for you to visit if you leave me a comment.

Happy Easter everyone!
