Easter Basket Ideas for Kids Ages 12 Through Teens
72. Glitter Pens: Everything is better with bling right? Glitter pens make a fun, useful, and inexpensive Easter gift.
73. Watches: A watch can be a great Easter basket filler. Watches come in all kinds of designs so you’re sure to be able to find one your child will love.
74. Small Flashlights: If you want to get your child something useful for Easter, consider a small flashlight which can easily fit in a backpack or purse. Don’t worry, it isn’t all work and no play – your child will have a blast creating shadow puppets and goofing around with a flashlight.
75. Crazy Socks: For the child that likes to make a fashion statement add some funky footwear to the Easter basket.
76. Lip Gloss: If your little girl wants to wear makeup like mom, consider gifting her some lip gloss. Go with a lip gloss like Bonne Bell which is clear and smells (and tastes) great.
77. Sugar Free Gum: If you want to get your child a sweet treat you don’t have to feel guilty about, consider putting some sugar free gum in his or her Easter basket.
78. Bookmarks: If your child has required reading time as homework, get him or her a digital bookmark for Easter. Digital bookmarks make tracking reading time a snap.
79. Small Photo Albums: If you’re looking for a fun gift for the Easter basket consider a photo album. You can pair it with a cheap disposable camera and the stickers mentioned perviously and your child will be entertained for hours snapping pictures, adding them to the album, and then decorating the album.
80. T-Shirt Graffiti Markers: Let your child play fashion designer and show of his or her individuality with t-shirt graffiti markers.
81. Locker Mirrors: If you’ve got a young lady in your life a locker mirror is probably on her wish list so that she can ensure she looks her best while dashing between classes.

I think you need to check your date – Easter is March 27 not April 5.

This has made me feel so much better about Easter. It will be here in a couple of days and we weren’t sure what we could get for our little man. I am a stay at home Mom and we live on one income and struggle, but it’s worth it to be home with our him. Your list gave me tons of great ideas just perfect for him. I just want to say Thank you so much!!!!

GROWING UP, OUR EASTER GIFTS WERE NEW DRESS UP/’SUNDAY GO TO MEETING CLOTHES AND SHOES, AND ONCE CUTE HATS AND HAD OUR PICTURES TAKEN. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN SWEETS, EXCEPT FOR OUR BIRTHDAYS WHEN WE WERE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE OUR DESSERT THAT WAS MADE FOR DINNER THAT NIGHT. OUR PARENTS WERE SERIOUS AS TO TAKING CARE OF OUR HEALTH AND TEETH. SO WE NEVER EXPECTED THOSE THINGS. WHEN WE WERE OLDER, LIKE IN JR. HIGH SCHOOL, WE RECEIVED A NEW BIBLE, ONCE, BUT ALWAYS, WE WERE SO PROUD OF THOSE NEW DRESS OUTFITS.
