We need to remember that our teens still like to have fun and have something to look forward to. These gifts are all fun and/or useful. Let’s make Easter a fun holiday to look forward to with this gift guide for a teen’s Easter basket!

Easter is a special holiday for many reasons. Be sure to let everyone know times for church, Easter brunch, or any other family gathering that you may have planned.

Gift Guide for a Teen’s Easter: Fun Activities

A fun activity locally that families do here, is post pics of pretty colored eggs in their window for kids to look for on neighborhood walks. Another idea might be for your older kids to put on a puppet show or video for younger kids. Be creative, and let your teens think of fun things to do! 

Most of the posts that I tried to find to link to this article had really silly ideas for teens at Easter, so here are some that I came up with after talking to my boys and their cousins who are all older teens.

Involve your teens in the planning of this holiday. They love to help with the younger kids. Decorate and hide the eggs. Stuff plastic eggs for younger siblings.

Help your teen find a volunteer opportunity for your teen at church or with your city. Visit an assisted living facility and give little treats to the elderly.

One more thing… While I researched for this post, I came across the concept of planting a resurrection garden. The post I am sharing is in a container, but it could easily be planted in a small corner somewhere outdoors.

Here are more ideas for teen’s at Easter including non candy Easter basket ideas…

Watch Passion of the Christ as a family and discuss the meaning of this important holiday. (Caution, this is for older teens.) And, watch Hop for some lighthearted fun! Movies are great additions to a teen’s Easter basket.

Is it time for an update to your teen or young adults Easter basket? Here are a couple of ideas…

Choice #1 -this could be decorated with ribbon or fabric which could be removed later and used for storage.

Choice #2 -love these because they can be personalized AND are so useful for events later!

Here is a fun Easter Peeps Sweatshirt.

And, this Easter Bunny T-Shirt is darling.

For the guys, here are some Easter Boxers.
