Easter Basket Gifts for Kids

There is nothing more exciting than the squeals of delight when children see that the Easter Bunny has come and left them a basket full of presents. The first thing you have to get is the actual Easter basket. Once you buy that, then the fun of filling it begins!

Tweens are considered to be between the ages of eight and twelve. They are no longer children, but they are not yet teens, although they want to be! Finding the right Easter basket gift can be tricky, because it cannot be too babyish and you do not want it to be too mature. It is a fine line to walk.

Most children this age are into video games. Depending on what their interests are, you can find a game that is the perfect fit. It is more fun to get games that will get the entire family involved and moving.

Board games featuring favorite characters are another gift option for tweens, as well as any merchandise that ties in with their favorite program. You cannot go wrong with creating a themed Easter basket.

There is an Easter Bunny Lego set that is sure to be popular on Easter morning. Craft kits, like the Shrinky DInks Easter Kit will keep children busy all morning whle your dinner is cooking.

Music is another Easter basket gift option. Most children love to sing along with the popular songs of the day. The Kidz Bop series takes the most current songs and rewrites some of the inappropriate words so it is G rated and safe for kids to listen to.

Another Easter gift to put into a tween basket is a favorite DVD.

They might not show it, but even teenagers look forward to waking up on Easter morning and getting a basket full of goodies. Sure, they want cash and gift cards, but you can still fill it with other cute things that will make them smile.

For teens who will be driving soon or who have just gotten their license, you can give them a new key chain, key chain lanyard, air freshener, emergency car kit or a gas card for their next fill up.

Those who are heading off to college would enjoy a tee shirt, bumper sticker or baseball cap featuring the name of their future university.

Watches and other kinds of jewelry make great Easter basket fillers, as well as a good book. They will even like some Easter novelty toys to go along with the chocolate that you are giving them. Many teens still like a nice plush animal in their basket!
