55+ Easter Basket Ideas for Teen Girls (They’ll Actually Love)

No matter how old my girls get, the Easter Bunny is bringing them a surprise. So, this bunny is looking for Easter basket ideas for teen girls.

My girls are 12 and 14 (7th and 8th grade), and shopping for them isn’t always easy. The middle school years are tough for gift-giving. The kids are too old for toys and too young for older teen/adult things.

I asked my girls for Easter basket ideas, and this is what they said:

Beach Stuff

This is something of an Easter tradition in our house. When you live in Florida, beach days start in the spring. So, it’s only natural for the Easter bunny to put beach stuff in their Easter basket.

• new swimsuit
• tanning lotion
• sunscreen
• sunglasses
• beach towel
• beach bag
• flip flops

Art Supplies

This depends on the kid, but both of my girls love some good art supplies. Here are some that they might like:

• Posca markers
• alcohol markers
• water color paints
• colored pencils
• sketchbook
• gel pens
• Sharpies
• stickers
• junk journal supplies
• printed pictures

Candy

Candy is always a good idea for Easter baskets, and teens are no exception. These are the candy ideas that my girls gave me:

• gum
• Nerd gummy clusters
• Lindor chocolate balls
• sour patch kids/watermelons
• bueno bars
• air heads
• Peeps

(This was the year the Easter bunny brought them a ‘camp out’!)

Makeup

You couldn’t think of Easter basket ideas for teen girls without thinking of makeup! My girls love trying different makeup, and this is what they would want:

• lip gloss (Glossier, Summer Fridays, or NYX)
• eyeliner
• eye shadow palette
• new makeup brushes
• highlighter
• blush sticks
• bronzer

Skin Care

Thanks to TikTok, middle school girls are more into skin care now than ever before. These are the skin care brands that my girls have asked for:

• Drunk Elephant
• Florence
• Byoma
• Elf
• Good Molecules
• Bubble

Gift Cards

If you just don’t know what your girl might like or if you don’t have time to go pick it out, gift cards are a great idea!

• Apple
• Roblox
• Starbucks
• TJ Maxx
• Target
• Ulta or Sephora

Bath Stuff

My girls love all things girly, so an Easter basket full of bath stuff would be right up their alley. These are some things they might like:

• Tree Hut scrubs
• bath bombs
• Bath and Body Works sprays, lotions, or body wash
• face masks
• new razors & shaving cream

Nail Stuff

Another one of the easy Easter basket ideas for teen girls would be nail stuff. My girls love getting their nails done, but it’s too expensive to maintain, so we do them at home. Here are some nail stuff they might like for at-home manicures and pedicures:

• UV gel nail kit
• nail polish
• nail stickers
• nail file
• manicure set
• hand lotion

Misc.

And if you don’t want to pick just one theme for their Easter basket or need a few things to add to it, here are some misc. things that teen girls might like:

• books
• stickers (the kind that can go on water bottles)
• a cute & cozy blanket
• scrunchies
• Stanley cup
• Owala water bottle
• jewelry
• friendship bracelet kits
• a good-smelling candle

I hope this list helps you fill an Easter basket for the teen girls in your life. Even if they do roll their eyes and tell you that they are way too old and too cool to believe in the Easter bunny.

If all else fails, I’m sure they will accept cold, hard cash!
