My Favorites Jelly Bean Machine

Arguably a hilarious and fun little gift, this jelly bean dispenser brings a ton of joy to whoever sees it. Each part can hold an entire 9.8 ounce bag of jelly beans, and you can fill it with whatever flavors they love the most! (Team buttered popcorn!)

Easter Stormtrooper Bunny T-Shirt

A storm trooper meets an Easter bunny is what you get with this fun, officially-licensed Star Wars T-shirt. Available in a range of colors, including both light and dark hues, your Star Wars-loving teen will appreciate the shirt’s soft, lightweight cotton material that’s perfect as a base layer or can be worn on its own.

Golden Egg Bath Bomb

Give your teen a spa experience at home with this cocoa butter-infused bath bomb from cult-favorite beauty brand Lush. Although it looks like an Easter egg, when the egg is placed in a warm bath, it melts, releasing shimmery gold glitter and a lovely honey-toffee scent. It’s also available as part of an Easter-themed gift set that includes an adorable rabbit-shaped soap and rainbow bubble bar.

Mini Belt Bag

Belt bags (also known as fanny packs to older generations) have seen a resurgence recently on social media. TikTok users especially love this one that they say is a great value, especially compared to similar but more expensive options. Plus, it can be worn as a cross-body bag or a regular handbag, too, and is available in nearly every color imaginable. It has just enough room to hold all of your teen’s daily essentials: a phone, a few snacks, and an Airpods case.

Pocket Bunny Perfume Bar

This cute perfume bar easily earns its place among the best Easter basket ideas for teens, thanks to its bunny design. However, the real star of the gift is the scent itself, which is light and fresh with notes of lemon, jasmine, and rose. Because of the roll-on applicator, it’s also easier to apply than spray perfumes, making it a great entry level scent for a teen.

DIY Retro Reel Viewer

Help your teen remember the Easters of years past with this extra-personal gift that allows you to customize the photos in a view finder toy. You can include up to 10 reels of your teen’s most memorable Easters or any other special occasion. The shipping process takes up to 7-10 business days after you submit photos, so make sure to order this gift in advance.

Mini Easter Egg Waffle Maker

Whether your teen has chef-level skills or is new to cooking, they can easily whip up a sweet snack any time they’d like with this mini waffle maker. It makes one 4-inch Easter egg-shaped waffle at a time and is ultra-simple to use even for the novice baker. Throw in a box of pancake mix and a couple of bottles of food dye for a cute (and delicious) DIY Easter morning breakfast.

Easter Cookie Cutters

This cookie cutter set would make great addition to an aspiring teen baker’s collection. It includes a set of five cookie cutters, all Easter-themed and made of high-quality steel. Pair it with a cookie recipe book to make it a gift set for the teen who loves to try new recipes and bake for their friends and family.

Small Deluxe Candy Cake

Dylan’s Candy Bar makes some seriously cool stuff. This candy “cake” makes a big impression. In fact, your child might be hard-pressed to know where to dig in first! It has everything from gummy candies to chocolates and lollipops!

Happy Easter Gift Box

If your teen is away at college over Easter weekend this year, or if you want to give them an Easter basket that will travel well, this Hickory Farms Easter gift box is the way to go. It includes a mix of both sweet and savory snacks, including sausages, cheese, and chocolates.

4.0 Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane Kit

Imagine the amount of fun your teen will have flying and navigating this smartphone-controlled paper airplane. It allows them to build a paper airplane and then attach it to the propeller and motor kit to test out how well it can fly beyond just an arm’s throw across a room. A 30-minute charge with the included USB cord provides up to 10 minutes of flying time at a range of up to 230 feet.

Animal Sheet Mask (3-Pack)

Whether as a one-time novelty or part of a well thought-out, multi-step skincare routine, these bunny-themed Korean sheet masks will help your teen keep their skin healthy and moisturized. They’re infused with hyaluronic acid to keep skin glowing and soft. Teens will also love seeing the cute packaging inside their Easter basket.

BodyMark Temporary Tattoo Markers

Help your teen express their creativity with this set of temporary tattoo markers. Since they’re specifically designed to be used on skin, they’re much safer when used to draw or write notes on your hands and arms versus regular permanent markers. Each pack comes with a set of eight markers and four stencils, and once applied to the skin, your teen’s designs will last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, just like a temporary tattoo.

Slime Eggs (5-Pack)

They’re Easter eggs! They’re slime! They’re… slimey Easter eggs! For the teen who could use a stress-reducing fidget toy as a stuffer in their basket, you can’t go wrong with slime that comes packaged in plastic Easter eggs. Made with non-toxic material, the slime is available in a choice of three color options, like this blue-pink-purple color combo shown here.

Hydro-Stars Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches

Does your teen have the occasional pimple flare up? If so, these star-shaped pimple patches are both a cute and ultra-practical Easter basket stuffer. When applied overnight, these 100-percent hydrocolloid stickers absorb fluid and soothe the inflammation around pimples, helping to make them less visible by morning time. Plus, the patches come in an adorable magnetic compact emblazoned with a happy face.

Custom Puzzle

If your teen is into puzzles, there may be no better Easter gift than this customizable one that lets you turn any cherished photo into a 500-piece jigsaw challenge. It even comes with a box with the picture printed on the top for easy storage (although a customized puzzle is just special enough that your teen may end up wanting to glue and display it once they’re done).

Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler

Stanley cups seem like they’re everywhere this year. If your kid’s been asking for one, snag this 30-ounce option. The tumblers come in a rainbow of different shades, but we love that the pastel pomelo yellow (shown), jade green, and lilac colors give a subtle nod to Easter and springtime.
