Budget Easter basket ideas for teen DDs:

[NotUrsula]

Well, for the sake of clutter control I don't do actual baskets once they are past the egg-hunt stage: I use a small gift bag. As to what's in them? What I give for Easter is stuff that gets eaten or quickly used up. Candy, and perhaps some soap or lip balm, or a small gift card for food or the movie theatre. (Never more than $10). A bar of their favorite good chocolate that requires a run to the import store.

I fall back on my Catholic upbringing when it comes to choosing Easter goodies: it should be something that is indicative of a bit of self-indulgence, the kind of thing one might have given up for Lent.

My two teen dd's are each getting a Sephora gc, bathing suits (American Eagle had a great sale at $15/each) and candy. I'm really tempted to buy more stuff but am sticking to my guns this year.

My girls are all getting new pillow pets. Yes the 13-year-old still wants a pillow pet...she's getting Sully from Monster's inc. The little girls are getting a unicorn and a panda.

DD14 is getting art supplies. She loves prismacolor colored pencils and markers. They aren't very expensive on amazon. About half the price of hobby lobby.

My 15 & 17 yr olds will be getting candy and their favorite snack foods....that's it. And they'll love it

Exactly!

DDs are each getting and Alex and Ani bracelet, some socks, bubbles, a notebook they need for school and a bunch of candy. I think I went overboard on the candy, though.

For my tween girl - cute slippers and an armband holder for her phone.

For my teen son - a $10 gift card to DQ and a portable charger for his phone.

My 10 YO DD is getting an iTunes gift card, rubber bands for her Rainbow loom (she was out of a particular color), a charging cord for her iPod touch, a DVD, and a new soccer ball. This is in addition to candy.

DS 10 is getting the same, switching out Kindle/Amazon for Apple items and a stylus instead of rubber bands.

I'm just happy that it isn't even Good Friday yet and I am done shopping and loading baskets!

We have friends whose family is out of town. They are coming over for lunch and DD15 is organizing an egg hunt for the little ones (they are 4 and 2). DD asked for 1/2 of her Easter basket budget for stuff for the egg hunt. (I pitched in an extra $20)

In her basket she is getting a new charging cord for her iPhone, some designer collectibles that she collects and a chocolate bunny.

There were tons of great ideas on this thread. Can't wait until next year!

My kiddos are 9 & 6, this year I got them each a new beach towel and a water squirter, light on candy couple of chocolates & bubble gum

An idea for a teen, maybe a straw cup from Starbucks filled with the cute EOS lip gloss (looks like an egg), nail polish, & sunglasses, or any other small item
