I have a 17,12 and 10 year old that I was trying to come up with some little trip need ideas? The 17 year old is a girl so I have her pretty much covered with items like sunglasses, nail polish, flip flops. But I am stumped on the boys- They won't wear sunglasses. So am I missing something great? They are no longer into the pressed pennies which would have been fun. We already have the hidden mickey's book. I'm stumped. I will purchase a poncho or 6 from the dollar store but that isn't going to thrill a 12 year old. Any fun ideas?

New DS game for the plane/car ride? Not sure if they play video games or what your budget is.
Target has quite a few on sale this week.

I got my dses Axe sets in travel toiletry bags. Not super exciting, but useful for a trip. Do they wear baseball caps? I saw a cute idea on Pinterest where they used the hat as a basket. Earbuds, quick battery chargers.
Rolled up T-shirt, Disney GC. Maybe snack foods for the plane/car.
I'm at a loss, the last trip all my older ds wanted was money for the arcade.

My duo is 13, we are going in July. I am actually doing Easter suitcases instead of baskets. I have Disney t shirts, Old Navy shorts, earbuds, itunes gift cards, I did the Axe bags at Christmas. I am going to throw in some loose candy and fill it with colored tissue paper.

I think I'm going to steal your suitcase idea! That sounds perfect.

Oh loving both the hat or suitcase idea! Thanks keep them coming! My 12 year is a little spray crazy. He likes a hollister one. I don't think I want to encourage that! But maybe an AXE deodorant.

How about some trading pins? or Disney gift cards to spend on the trip?

You could put the plastic easter eggs in there with money inside that they could use at Disney with some Disney tattoos. Not real disney but it would allow you to use the money for things they really want and they would get a kick out of opening them.

This! We just ordered some new pins off ebay and I'm sticking them in plastic eggs that the kiddos search for in the morning

A take on the hat idea.....Go to Walmart and buy a plain beige ball cap and a set of colorful sharpies. Where boys aren't crazy about autograph books. DS might like to get a character to sign a hat.
