Sharing a roundup of Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens!

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful morning! I have a couple of appointments today and looking forward to tacos and pool time later tonight. We officially skipped spring here in Tucson and headed straight to summer. While I don’t *love* that I need to start waking up earlier to walk the dogs, I’m kind of loving the fact that pool season is here early.

Spring is always chaos – I feel like it’s pure insanity until Maycember and the end of school- and I can’t believe that March is almost over!!! Easter is totally sneaking up on us, so I figured I’d share a roundup of Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens if you’re planning and getting things ready this week like yours truly.

Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens

TBH I don’t go wild for Easter. I see some elaborate basket ideas and while I applaud and cheer for it, it’s not for me lol. I keep things pretty simple: usually some summer-y things like a pair of cute sandals, a swimsuit or two, candy, and some fun stuff mixed in. I’m including tons of ideas below but please know our children are not getting all of these things!

Here’s a previous Easter basket (this one is from a couple of years ago! Also it was wild to read this 2020 Easter recap.)

While they’ve definitely moved up from LOL dolls lol, the basic framework is the same.

Here are some of the things that would be cute for this year.

Swimsuits and sandals:

Maaji is my go-to brand for P. They make the best rash guard swimsuits and they last all summer. I usually get her one or two more expensive suits and the rest from Target.

Liv loves Target and Amazon swimsuits.

Rashguards.

Birks

Sharing some Easter basket ideas for teens and older kiddos! 

Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for all of your wonderful support on my last post. I’m feeling hopeful about things and looking forward to our homeschool journey.

For today’s post I wanted to share some Easter basket ideas! I have so much fun putting these together each year. It’s really tempting to let Easter turn into Christmas #2, but I try to keep things super simple. The kids usually get a new swimsuit, sandals, and a couple of other small goodies. Since we’re past the days of bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and slime, I thought I’d pass some other ideas along. Please share any ideas in the comments!

For older kids (3-5th grade):

A new swimsuit. For this age, I almost always buy Maaji suits. They’re the best quality, the have UPF protection, many patterns are reversible, and they LAST. They last through waterparks, cruises, beach days, and the prints are so fun. A heads up: the rash guard ones run small so I always size up. Athleta girl also makes amazing girls’ swimsuits.
