Easter Gift Ideas For Teenagers
With Easter right around the corner, you may be looking for Easter Gift Ideas For Teenagers. When the kids were young, it was easy to grab a Littlest Pet Shop and a Thomas train. Easter For Teenagers can still be fun but the challenge of finding a great gift is real. Check out these Easter gift ideas for the teenagers in your life!
We’ve always given the kids a gift we know they will use, instead of the commercialized Easter Basket full of throw-away toys and yet another stuffed animal. I like to think of things we would be buying for them this time of year, anyway.

If you’re creating Easter baskets for teens, pick one thing from each of these five categories to create well-rounded baskets your teens will love!
Something To Read
- Bible – What a perfect gift for Easter! If your teenager’s hardcover Bible has seen better days, perhaps it’s time for a Teen Study Bible!
- Book – A book would be an excellent idea for a long lazy afternoon! My daughter has shared some book ideas on Gift Ideas For 14 Year Old Girls.
- Sunrise On The Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) – If your teens or young adults read the Hunger Games series, this is a new book in the series that came out on March 18, 2025.
Something To Do
- Season Pass – Is there an amusement park or water park nearby? This could be an excellent choice for summertime fun! It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
- CityPASS – How about a CityPass for a city nearby? Play tourists in your very own city!
- Something for an Upcoming Trip – Do you have a vacation planned for the summer? How about their very own rolling suitcase as a ‘basket’ filled with things they might need for the trip? Sunscreen, a bathing suit, flip flops, summer clothes, a magazine, and of course, snacks would all be excellent choices!
Something To Wear
- Shoes – How about a new pair of shoes? I have to say, I love Converse and bought myself a pair of these Converse slip-ons in navy blue. Guess what? My daughter wears the same size and she has claimed them, as her own. It’s been tough keeping my son in shoes and jeans that fit this year. The boy is growing like a weed! I just might use Easter as an excuse to buy him a second pair of shoes.
- Sunglasses – Here, in the Pacific Northwest, we are known to lose our sunglasses, somewhere between fall and spring, since the sun doesn’t shine so much around here. Your teenagers will look stylish wearing these aviator sunglasses!
- Swimsuit – We were headed to the pool with friends, not long ago, and my son couldn’t find his swim trunks anywhere. He wore his PE shorts instead but, when we got to the pool, we discovered his friend was wearing his swim trunks. Ha! Jack had apparently left them at his friend’s house. We didn’t want to embarrass his friend so we didn’t say a word.
- Goggles – Goggles always seem to disappear! Your teenagers will be thankful they have them when it’s time to jump in the pool!
- Sun Protective Clothing – A new summer outfit would be a very practical yet festive gift to give. Because I’ve had melanoma, sunblock or sun protective clothing is a must not only for me but for my teenagers too!
- Sun Hat – A sun hat or baseball cap not only gives sun protection but helps your eyes out too!
- Spring Pajamas – Soon, very soon, the weather will turn warm and our fleece pajamas will no longer do. How about Spring pajamas?

Something To Eat
- Treats – Don’t forget to throw a few of your teen’s favorite treats out on Easter morning! Let’s face it, even though our teenagers know who the Easter bunny is, they still enjoy waking up to a treat and a few eggs on Easter morning!
- Snacks – Add a few of your teens’ favorite snacks to sustain them through all of their Easter activities. If they like popcorn, add this Easter Popcorn Tag to a bag of microwave popcorn or a snack-size bag of popcorn to make it extra festive.
Something Practical
- Money – When you want to gift money for Easter without just handing over cash, use this Easter Money Gift Idea to give cash, the Easter way!
- Gift Cards – Teens like to eat out and are always on the go. A gift card to a gas station or favorite restaurant would be a nice surprise.

Hi! I’m Bridget!
I create printables and DIYs to help you get organized and celebrate special occasions! It’s my mission to inspire you to get creative and find joy in the everyday!
When I buy a gift for my teenage daughter I have to remeber to find something special and to ensure that nobody from her friends get the same one. Every time it’s a little challenge for me. For example, I bought a star from kingdom of universe. She hangs over the bed her certificate of ownership and shows to everybody who visit her 🙂
What a great idea, Carrie! I love that!
EGG-xcellent choices Bridget! 😀 My mom made me an Easter basket until I was 24 and had my son. I loved them! She’d load it with all of my favorite Easter treats, a special Easter plushie, and some other non-consumable items she knew I’d love. I sure did miss them when they stopped, no matter how silly I felt getting them at that age. So I’ve done the same with my son throughout the years. Now that he lives so far away I send him an Easter box instead of a basket. Then he opens it on Skype. When he has children, he’ll still get his. In the meantime, I especially have to check out those Star Wars shorts up there! 🙂
How EGG-citing, Kay! Your mom knew how to treat you right! I LOVE that you and Junior can Skype his Easter box opening! Star Wars is the thing around here! Can’t say I’ve actually sat down and watched a movie but it is often on in the background!
