Is it just me, or does Easter sneak up faster than you can say “chocolate binge”?

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.
Summer things:
Fun extras:
I’m going to order one of these lip butter sets and break them up (one for each of them and one for me!)
SQUISHIES. Squishies and Nee-doh is all the rage right now. I just ordered some of these.
Small coloring books with gel pens or watercolor book
Woobles set. There are so many cute ones! Love these embroidery kits, too.
Gift cards to spots they love: boba, Starbucks, etc.
