Football-Themed Cooler Basket

Who needs a traditional Easter basket? Have fun and get creative! Pack a cooler with all his favorite things including a football, favorite “sports-watching” snacks, and even his favorite AXE body spray.  (This basket idea would work great for ANY sport and ANY guy or girl!) and Source: Make Life Lovely

 

Coffee n’ Candy Basket

The beauty of Easter baskets is that pretty much anything goes! Whether your teen loves a little sweet sugar or loves their Starbucks in the morning, create a basket that is uniquely theirs! Source: Passionate Penny Pincher

 

Simple, But Special Basket

The Ultimate Sleepover Basket

This fun Easter “basket” is filled with everything any guy would need to have a fun sleepover at his friend’s house. From comfortable slip-on Nike flip-flops and a Domino’s gift card to his favorite candy and an Xbox gift card, this idea is the bomb! (Modify this idea for girls by adding everything she loves – fuzzy slipper socks, her favorite candy, pizza gift card, and a movie she and her friends might love – the ideas are endless.) Source: Pinterest

 

Mani-Pedi Basket

Teenage girls who love to spend hours in their bathroom with friends painting their fingernails will love this mani-pedi basket. Cleverly wrapped in a towel basket and filled with flip flops, nail files, nail polish, lip gloss and, of course, a drink cup with a straw so she doesn’t get thirsty, this basket is as cute as can be.

Basket in a Hat

Create the perfect Easter basket by packing all his favorite tasty treats in a hat he’ll love! Toss in a t-shirt, gift card, and a few candy-filled (or money-filled) eggs and he’s sure to flip! Source: The Resourceful Mama

 

Perfectly Pink Basket

So many girls (especially young teens) love anything pink! Toss in her favorite body spray, pink lip gloss, a scented candle, nail polish, and a silly stuffed bunny or fuzzy chicken pen like this one and she’ll love it! Source: The Holidaze Craze

 

The Ultimate Super Snack Basket

Mason Jar Easter Basket

Showing your teen a little love on Easter doesn’t have to be extravagant or cost a lot. This simple mason jar Easter basket is adorably simple, yet totally creative! Just fill it with their favorite candy (I’d add a little colored grass on the bottom, too if it was me) and top it off with a bow and adorable bunny ears! Source: Cupcakes and Crinoline.

Sports and Games Basket

Got a teen who loves sports? Include their favorite team t-shirt or sweatshirt. Or how about a teen who loves Legos or video games, you can include that, too! Themed baskets can be so much fun to create and the best part is if you shop sales (or even second-hand stores) you can get great deals that won’t break the bank! Source: Passionate Penny Pincher

This delicious basket is chock full of delicious gourmet chocolate and treats with a sweet stuffed bunny tossed in because… well, you’re never too old for bunnies!  Source: One Good Thing By Jillee

Coffee and Brownies Basket

We love this basket! This is the perfect Easter basket for any coffee and sweets lover on your list! Include a coffee mug, their favorite coffee, brownies, a stuffed bunny, and a few chocolate eggs or jelly beans and this is one basket she (or he) will never forget! Source: Love From the Oven

 

Bunny in a Jar

How adorable and simple is this idea? Just a simple mason jar filled with grass, candy, and a chocolate bunny accented with raffia makes one of the easiest and cutest basket ideas around! Great idea for besties, too! Source: Unknown

 

Easter College Care Package

For our college kids so far away, this “some bunny loves you” Easter care package will make them feel special, even if they can’t be home for Easter.

Source: Best Personalized Easter Baskets

 

Make Your Own Candy Basket

It’s as easy as ever to make this clever candy basket! All you need is a few strips of double-sided tape or a glue gun. Fill the basket with a few candy-filled (or better yet, money-filled) Easter eggs and a gift card and this basket is sure to be a hit! Source: Crazy Little Projects
