Movie tickets
Does your teenager love watching the latest films? If so cinema tickets are a great gift as we all know it’s not cheap to go to the cinema. Whether they choose to go to the cinema with you or other friends will be up to them to choose but they’re sure to love the gift. This gift is great for teen boys or teenage girls who love films.
Craft supplies
If your teenager is creative you can’t go wrong with craft or art supplies. Giving a teen an art supply gift set can also be an opportunity to encourage them to explore their artistic interests and develop their talents. They’re low-cost, fun and I’m sure they’ll have hours of fun.
Craft supplies are a gift that I have always enjoyed gifting to little kids, right through to young adults. You can find plenty of small gifts that you can add to their basket.
- Paint brushes
- Compact watercolour set
- Air-dry clay
- Caligraphy pen set
- Coloured pencils
- Graphic pens
- Oil pastels
- Chalk pens
- Posca pens

Sweet treats
Teenagers are never too old to enjoy easter treats. Chocolate eggs and even a chocolate Easter bunny might still be appreciated by some teens and I’m sure you know yours well enough to decide. Perhaps a bag of mini Easter eggs might be the right Easter treat.
If they don’t like chocolate (strange I know but one of my own children doesn’t like chocolate) then what about adding their favourite sweets, cupcakes or hot chocolate supplies? Last year I saw a bag of orange jelly beans shaped like a carrot which is a really fun way to gift them.
You could also make your own unique sweet treats like these Easter Peeps Candy Sushi.
Card games
There are some great card games on the market for teenagers. Here are some of our favourites.
Water bottle
There’s no reason you can’t add a practical gift to their Easter gifts. There are some really great water bottles to choose from too. No matter what their interest or style, I’m sure you’ll find a water bottle they’ll love.
Check out the great range from Chillys, they have so many designs to choose from.
Coffee mug
Coffee mugs are another practical option where you can choose one that really expresses your teen’s personality. If they love hot drinks of any kind, a mug is something they can use every day. You might like to add a few of their favourite tea bags, a bag of coffee or some luxury hot chocolate.
A book
A great book is a really fun gift to add. There are so many great books to choose from. You could see if there is a new book from their favourite author or enjoy choosing one that you think they’ll enjoy.
If they have an e-reader then you could always gift them a kindle voucher so they can choose their own book.
A gift card for their favourite shop
If you’re really struggling to think of any items to get your teen then why not buy them a voucher for their favourite shop. That might be a clothes shop, music shop or book shop. Just pick somewhere that you know they’ll love to spend it.
A new phone case
For many teens, their phone is an accessory that they enjoy switching out. There are so many great personalized custom phone cases from Custom Envy to choose from too, allowing them to express their unique style.
I hope you find some new ideas for your teen’s easter basket so you can continue your easter basket tradition with big kids. Hopefully, you’ll find the perfect gift that there will love receiving on Easter morning.
