I literally love everything about Easter! \u00a0First of all, I love what Easter means for our faith. \u00a0It is so fun to make this important holiday special and meaningful for my family. \u00a0One of my kids\u2019 favorite activities is receiving their Easter baskets each year. \u00a0I truly love coming up with fun ideas for an Easter basket for teen girls and also my son. \u00a0Then, I love combining them into thoughtful baskets that hopefully surprise and delight my family!<\/p>\n
Do you remember our GIGANTIC Christmas Stockings<\/a><\/strong><\/span>? You can check out this post<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for some Easter basket ideas too. \u00a0Actually, I often look for the springtime versions of those same kinds of things for Easter basket ideas. It\u2019s a great chance to refresh little personal items, art supplies, and accessories.<\/p>\n Plus, I love to include some books, games, and inexpensive seasonal toys too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Easter-Baskets-3-scaled.jpg” alt=”various Easter basket items in the Easter basket with Easter grass” title_text=”Easter Baskets (3)” admin_label=”Before Image” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n My husband and I went shopping together for the kids\u2019 Easter baskets (yes, he\u2019s a Rockstar that did that with me on a Saturday night!). \u00a0I don\u2019t know how many times I said to him, \u201cThis was so much easier when they were little!\u201d \u00a0And it\u2019s so true! \u00a0It was super easy to fill their basket with board books, baby toys, cute Peter Rabbit snacks, and always a plush bunny!<\/p>\n So\u2026what do you put in an Easter basket for teens, tweens, and older kiddos<\/strong>??? \u00a0Actually, I\u2019m going to give you a shopping list that is sure to make even the teenagers smile!<\/p>\n First, however, I like to plan out my teen’s Easter basket ideas a little! \u00a0The fun for the kids is receiving gifts they will use and enjoy. \u00a0<\/strong>However, the fun for me is doing the shopping and creating beautiful baskets to use in our Easter Sunday pictures too.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”what makes a great easter basket?” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, you need a great basket. \u00a0Depending on your theme and the person the basket is for, you may want to choose a beautiful woven basket. \u00a0However, you may also opt for a fun plush basket version or even think outside the box with a unique container to hold themed Easter basket stuffers.<\/p>\n We have been using the same Peter Rabbit Easter baskets<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 for 11 years!\u00a0 I love that they are a tradition and that I don\u2019t have to spend money on a basket each year. \u00a0However, I’ll share some great basket ideas with you as well as all of the Easter goodies you need to fill them with for a picture-perfect Easter morning!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”***IMG gathered items, not assembled” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”formula to build a great easter basket, how do you make a perfect easter basket” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”***IMG” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”tips” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here are a few more tips as you assemble your items in the baskets:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”how to plan your easter basket” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n NOTE: \u00a0there are as many different ways to plan and style Easter basket gift ideas as anyone could imagine. \u00a0This is just what I enjoy doing! \u00a0You may choose to do a themed basket based on a particular interest or hobby, which is really sweet and fun too!<\/p>\n We have been using these same Peter Rabbit Easter baskets<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for about many years. It is a fun tradition to pull out each year and even teenage girls enjoy the cuteness of Peter Cottontail! \u00a0These were definitely a great little investment that have saved me a lot of money over the years since I don’t have the additional cost of a basket or container each year! \u00a0The best part is that you really can\u2019t go wrong with Peter Rabbit. \u00a0No matter the color scheme or theme, it goes with everything springtime-related!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Easter-Baskets-6-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Easter Baskets (6)” admin_label=”Planning Img” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”choosing a theme – ideas for themes” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Speaking of color schemes, I do get a little obsessive about that! \u00a0You definitely don\u2019t have to take it this far<\/strong> in order to have gorgeous and fun Easter basket ideas!<\/p>\n For me, I like to start with choosing special Easter outfits for my whole family (simply because that is the hardest part of coordinating the day!). \u00a0I found some great Vineyard Vines pink gingham shirts for the guys last year, so we made pink and white our main color theme. \u00a0Our daughter, Addy, is the colorful one in our bunch and she loved a flowered dress with all the spring colors. \u00a0Easter Day is a wonderful time to celebrate with fresh, cheerful colors!<\/p>\n Knowing that I wanted to focus mainly on the pink and white color family, that helped direct my shopping list a bit. \u00a0The color scheme is typically my theme, although the best Easter basket gifts really are just favorite things that your teenager enjoys<\/strong>, so I get creative in combining the color theme and favorite gifts for my teen’s basket!.<\/p>\n Since I only get what fits in the basket\u2026and they aren\u2019t as big as our Christmas stockings\u2026I get to be really choosy about what I actually purchase!<\/p>\n The other thing I love is that, for our family, it is simple gift giving. \u00a0Our kids aren\u2019t expecting big, elaborate things. \u00a0We just enjoy the simplicity of the little things for Easter gifts!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”how to use a color theme” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are so many fun and pretty different colors you can incorporate into cohesive teen Easter basket ideas. \u00a0To get my pretty baskets started, I chose super cute Easter grass in the warm colors that match my theme. \u00a0I love this mix for a colorful look. \u00a0It is also available in cool blue and green tones too.<\/p>\n Easter grass is my go to for the bottom of the basket because I can add as much or little as I need. \u00a0Plus, it\u2019s a great way to add some festive color.<\/p>\n Pro Tip: \u00a0For Easter grass, I plan for one bag of grass for each basket.<\/strong> \u00a0I\u2019ll share a video in this post of how I use it to make our baskets look full and pretty!<\/p>\n Next, it was off to hunt for some cool gifts that I know my kids will love\u2026and hopefully find some in those warm colors. \u00a0Focusing on the pinks, light yellows, and coral allows for some variety, but still all coordinating for a fun color theme.<\/p>\n Pro Tip: You can wrap some gifts if they do not coordinate with your color or theme. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The wrapping is always fun for little kids and even for older kids too! \u00a0It is the perfect way to make the opening of the Easter basket take a little longer and feel a bit more special, even if it is just a few little gifts that are wrapped!<\/p>\n We found some Easter goodies and I\u2019m having a hard time waiting until Easter to give my kids their baskets!!!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with the hardest one first: \u00a0Teenagers!<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Teen Girls – 26″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had so much fun with my teen girl’s Easter basket<\/strong> since they have been teenagers! \u00a0I\u2019ll link up the things I can here and then some other ideas too!<\/p>\n Pro tip: if you are going for a particular color scheme, grab a roll of kraft wrapping paper (hyperlink) and wrap any of those must-have items that don\u2019t quite match. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I tie them with twine and tie some of the matching Easter grass into the bow to give it a fun look!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5.png” title_text=”5″ url=”https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0Dm0Ol7EYJA” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”Teen Girls Image” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tween Girls – 25″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n These sweet tween years\u2026still loving the plush animals but enjoying big-girl stuff too!\u00a0 Addy is so much fun to buy for and we found some cute things for her Easter basket as well!<\/p>\nWhat makes a great Easter basket?<\/em><\/h3>\n
