Creative Easter Baskets for Teens
Teens can be tough to buy for. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people ask about the best gifts for teens – it’s just not quite as easy as buying gifts for 3 year old boys.
One of the best things about Easter baskets though is that they don’t just have to be baskets, and they don’t even have to be really Easter related.
Sure, you can go that route – or you can use it as a fun excuse to give your teens a little surprise!
I’ve put together some creative and unique Easter baskets for teens that aren’t just baskets full of their favorite items. Hopefully with all of these awesome ideas, you’ll be able to find something that works for all of the teenagers in your life!
Oh and just because they’re teens doesn’t mean they don’t like to hunt for their Easter basket – this Easter basket scavenger hunt is a perfect way to let them still feel like they’re kids with all the benefits of being teens!
Easter Baskets for teenage Girls
This section is full of things that teenage girls will love to get as Easter basket stuffers. The perfect combination of little things like lip gloss and body spray paired with a fanny pack or flip flops. With so many great ideas your Easter basket might just stuff itself.
Encanto Easter Baskts
If your teen loves Encanto as much as a lot of teens I know, pick one of these creative Easter baskets and fill it with Encanto inspired items. The Isabella one specifically would make a great option for teen girls with bright colors, makeup, art supplies, and more! Just skip the things that are more for young children!
With warmer weather just starting and school wrapping up, this pool basket is perfect for your teen who is dreaming about summer. Complete with all the summer essentials like a beach towel, sunglasses, and water bottle this basket is as ready for summer as your teenager.
Is your teen obsessed with baking after binging “Is It Cake”? Then this is the perfect Easter basket idea, full of all the baking essentials you could ever want. Bonus, they might even use their basket to make you some delicious Easter treats like this Easter cheesecake.
It’s hard to go wrong when you are gifting self-care like this spa-inspired basket. While they have all the basic spa essentials covered, adding in some nail polish, lip balm, or a few face masks would make a great addition, especially if they are these Easter face masks!
Got a big family trip planned for the summer vacation or lucky enough to live by the water? This beach bag Easter basket is full of great ideas that are perfect for beach days. I know some teen girls who would love this multi-colored beach bag!
Wrapping this section up with a little glam. Switch out the basket with a cute new makeup bag then stuff it with their favorite makeup and hair accessories! So easy but something they will love.
While boys tend to be easier to shop for, it can be hard to think of something that feels personal. So, if you are looking for fun Easter basket fillers that have a theme or something other than food, then this list has you covered. There’s a little bit of something for all those teen boys out there!
Golf Easter Basket
Golf is a hot topic in my family lately, which makes this a perfect Easter basket. If you have a golf-loving teen, this is perfect! Super simple but something they will use and appreciate getting. Or you could also go with anything in this golf gift basket!
I love the idea of giving them something practical like a helmet as a basket. Full of all the gear they need and maybe a favorite game day snack. Easily change it to whatever sport fits their interests. This is one of the best Easter basket ideas I’ve seen!
Sometimes simple is best, like this baseball basket. Simply pick up a basket in your kid’s favorite sport (this fabric baseball basket is great!) then fill it with their favorite goodies to go along with it. Even better if you can match the bucket or basket to their high school (or middle school) sport!
This game-day basket is stuffed full of everything you could ever need to have a great time enjoying your favorite team. I think the Magic Eight Ball is a great idea for anyone who spends a lot of time trying to make decisions! This idea would also make for great adult Easter baskets!
Another great gift idea is to replace a basket with a new hat filled with simple snacks or other fun things. Kids of all ages and interests wouldn’t mind if the Easter bunny left them this!
These ideas are specifically for teenage college students. Filled with a few more practical items that they might forget to buy themselves along with those yummy Easter goodies. So whether they are still at home or off in the dorms somewhere there are great ideas for college kids.

Cup Easter Basket
This cute idea of using a water bottle or cup is great. Rather than filling it with a lot of little things, fill it with a few items you know they would love or use often.

This is perfect for that teen who loves trying new beauty products or new ways to do their hair. Add in some trendy claw hair clips, facial rollers, and other fun things they are always asking for.
Even with school wrapping up, a basket full of school supplies is a great idea. Chances are they are running out of most of the things by the end of the year and don’t want to spend money to replace them. Plus, for some people, myself included, you can never have too many notebooks or tools to get organized.
Giving practical items is never a bad idea, plus you know it’s something they will use. It’s also a great chance to replace old worn down sandals before summer. Toss in some gift cards to their favorite restaurants and whatever other daily things your teen may need or want to complete the basket.
