40 Unique Easter Basket Ideas to Impress Your "Too-Cool" Teen
Trendy gadgets and gifts for your teen who has everything!
Whether they're a moody 13-year-old or a grown 18-year-old, your teen may not want to decorate Easter eggs or take part in an Easter egg hunt — but we've found one Easter tradition they can't resist: opening Easter baskets filled with treats and essentials. Since it can feel impossible to shop for the hard-to-please adolescent in your life, we've rounded up adorable Easter basket ideas for teens that they'll love.
If you're building your own Easter baskets, you may choose to settle on a theme — like candy, fashion, hair care or tech gadgets. But, don't stress about how cohesive your basket feels — as long as you pack it with items your teen can actually use. First off, no teen has ever turned down their favorite sweets (consider: pastel-colored cake pops, a snack box or a variety of their favorite candies).
If you're keeping up with trending Tiktok finds, you'd know self-care is a hit among teens. Anything that'll keep them cozy and feeling fresh is definitely welcomed (think: soap sets, bunny ear headbands, slippers and even a skincare mini fridge). While they may not play with toys anymore, they're interested in unique tech gadgets like color-changing speakers and selfie ring lights. And when in doubt, layer in Easter basket stuffers like bunny-shaped cosmetics or bunny slipper socks to keep it festive. With Easter just around the corner, keep scrolling to find a number of cool presents for teen boys — plus creative ideas for tween and teen girls.
