ALT-2 Easter Basket Ideas for Teen Girls
Every child has fond memories of waking up on Easter morning and rushing to their Easter basket to see what the Easter Bunny has brought. However, the thrill of finding something delicious and special tucked away among the decorative Easter grass doesn’t have to end when your child reaches her teen years. The following are some Easter basket ideas for teen girls that any young lady would adore.
The Princess Package
She may not be wearing plastic crowns with faux gems or clumping around the house in your old high heel shoes anymore, but most girls love to feel as special as a princess. For these teens, consider stocking their Easter basket with an array of goodies such as lip gloss, eye shadows, a nice pair of earrings or some fragrant lotions and body wash. Philosophy.com offers some wonderful products that any girl would appreciate including shower gels, fragrances and other skin care items. If your teenager would prefer to select their own bath or body products, consider tucking a gift card to a store such as Bath and Body Works into their Easter basket. Stores such as Bath and Body Works offer an array of products, and frequently have clearance sales to stretch the value of the gift card.
No Princess Package would be complete without some exquisite chocolate or special candy items. Consider purchasing a small box of gourmet chocolate from Godiva, or a special candy sampler from See’s Candy. A small box of Bakery Dessert Truffles from Godiva (http://bit.ly/epepN0) offers a savory selection of candies like chocolate lava cake and other delicious delights fitting for a princess.
The Techno Basket
What teenage girl wouldn’t love to receive Easter basket goodies that celebrate her interest in technology? If your girl enjoys listening to music, consider purchasing a gift card for iTunes or purchasing a new set of ear buds for her iPod. She'll be thrilled to add to her music library, and have a cool new set of ear buds to use with her audio devices.
If your teenager owns an e-Reader device, a gift card to Barnes and Noble or similar bookstore makes a great gift choice. She can download the latest books to her e-Reader and them add to her electronic library. Protective skins for her e-Reader or notebook device also make a great gift idea. These come in an array of funky styles and fashions, so you can choose a style that is as unique as your teen.
Other interesting gift choices may include a unique mouse pad, a box for her ear buds, or a small charging station in a fashionable design to keep her gadgets charged, neatly contained and ready to use.
Naturally, no Easter basket is complete without the candy. Consider adding a touch of nostalgia to that Easter basket and include some unique treats such as Candy Buttons, Red Hots, or Mallo Cups to place beside a large chocolate rabbit. For unique treat ideas, visithttp://www.nostalgiccandy.com/.
The Gossip Girl
This basket is designed for the teen girl that enjoy keeping up with the latest trends and celebrity gossip. Consider purchasing the latest copy of Seventeen magazine, People magazine or J-14 magazine to tuck among the Easter goodies. She’ll love the fashion tips and reading about her celebrity crushes. A CD makes a great accompaniment to this basket, and the latest version available from the popular television show, Glee has an array of songs that any girl would love.
A pair of movie tickets makes a nice addition to this basket, as well. Your teen will enjoy inviting a friend to share an afternoon with her at the movies. Consider filling this basket with movie theater-sized boxes of candy such as Junior Mints, M&Ms, or Dots.
Deciding how to design an Easter basket for a teenage girl can be a lot of fun. With a little thought, you can make her basket as individualized as your teen, generating the same excitement that you’ve enjoyed creating during Easters of the past.
