What’s a Good Easter Basket Ideas for Tweens?

It sounds like a fun idea to gift some unique items for special tweens. You can likely find many items that would be appreciated such as sample lipsticks, nail polish, hair clips, bandanas, stencil tatos, pens, pencils, journals, or many items to do crafting if the tween is into that. Maybe socks, gift cards, favorite food items, baseballs or other sport items such as baseball cards, etc. Maybe special light bulb that changes colors..... You can bet even though they "say" their too old the gift basket will bring a big smile!

Jewelry, body lotion, gift cards or perfume!

Hi Emma: My kids loved getting the plastic eggs with money in them. I used $1 bills, and sometimes I stuck in notes with little coupons that I made for them, like "Good for 1 trip to the ice cream store" "Good for 1 time of my making your favourite dessert for dinner" "Good for 1 time of you picking what to have for dinner", Good for 1 time of you selecting what movie we go see." "Good for 1 trip to the store to spend your money however you wish.", etc. They also liked books and, for the girls, jewelry and the boys, age appropriate toys.
