Easter Basket Ideas for Teenage Boys

Thanks to reader Nikhol for sharing this cute Easter basket for teens – how PERFECT is this whole setup for a teen boy?!

The older my teen boys get the more difficult it is to figure out what to put in their Easter baskets for fillers. (Why can’t they still little forever??)

And those teen years – whew! – that’s when you really have to put on your thinking cap 🙂 If you’re a busy mom these suggestions might help!

Here are some fun teen boy Easter Basket ideas to pick up for your guys. Whether you’re doing a small gift of a chocolate bunny/Cross – or a hefty basket full of clothes and gear they’ll need for Spring sports and Summer vacation -we’ve polled PPP readers for all their best suggestions.

Grab these now so you’ve got this task DONE in advance!

Non “Basket” Easter Basket Ideas for Boys

You may want to ditch the old pastel basket and move on to something different. (On the other hand – you may want to hold onto that basket for dear life!) .. Here are a couple ideas teen guys should like:

1 . Baseball Cap Basket

Turn a cap upside down (or another hat he’ll like). This will be the main gift, so at that point you could just fill with some candy/chips/beef jerky and call it a day.

2 . Tackle Box Basket

Go with a fishing theme and fill a tackle box like with lures, snacks and a fishing license so they’ll be ready to go!

PPP Team Member Jamie made one of these last year and it was a HIT! She filled it with fishing lures, snacks and all kinds of other fun goodies for her 16 year old teen guy.

3 . Shoe Box

Reader Judy submitted this fun idea – she buys an outfit and shoes that her son needs for Easter (and just nice clothes for Spring) and gifts it to him in a shoe box. Genius! She says her kids really appreciate the nicer things and she’d prefer to spend money on those than little things. And since she planned to buy a nice Spring outfit for him anyway – this one isn’t a splurge!

4 . Summer Fun Cooler

Fill a small cooler with summer fun items for trips to the pool or beach – like flip-flops, beach towel, gas card, etc… If you REALLY want to splash out on this Easter basket idea you could fill a YETI Tundra…. but that’s a pretty fancy Easter basket 😉

5 . Shower Tote

Fill a utility or shower tote with personal care items like cologne, body spray, hair products, shaving items and more. If they’re heading to college soon this is extra helpful! ~ Thanks Katie!

Easter Basket Stuffers Ideas for Teen Boys

Thanks to reader Jennifer for sharing her teen boys Easter basket!

Whether you have a tween, teen or college kid – most of these suggestions for filling those teenage guy Easter Baskets will apply across the board!

1 . Snacks/Drinks/Candy:

Candy
Sunflower Seeds
Gum
Protein Bars
Beef Jerky
Trail Mix
Takis
Soda/sports drinks
Chips

2 . Beach Towels

Okay not super exciting – but if you’re headed anywhere for Spring Break (or just need new towels for the pool) it’s necessary!

3 . Sun Glasses

4 . A Good Book

My friend Jamie said her boys love this book and have passed it around through the family recommending it to each other. The reviews are great!

5. Flip Flops or Slides

Every kid could probably use a new pair of flip flops or slides to replace the ones they wore out last summer. These Croc sandals are pretty neutral, or a pair of Adidas slides are always welcome!

6. $5 Restaurant Gift Card or Movie Gift Card

It doesn’t have to be much – $5 to the Taco Bell next to their gym, $10 to the video game store they use most, or $5 to the bait shop they hit on their fishing trips.

Lots of readers suggested gas cards as a great practical basket filler as well!

7. Swim Trunks

This summer staple is going to be needed eventually – might as well include it in their basket!

8. Crayola Globbles

These sticky balls have become super popular from TikTok – where a video shows kids lying in bed and throwing them to their ceilings where they stick a moment and then eventually fall back down. The price has jumped up CRAZY HIGH – so one alternative might be these sticky wall climbers I spotted.

9. Phone Case

We found lots of options on Amazon for under $7!

10. Magnetic Putty

I like adding a few fun things to my teens’ baskets just to remind them to have fun – just because they’re “almost” grown – doesn’t mean they can’t have a toy or two 😉

11. Water Bottle

I bought this simple one and my teen guy loves it! And while Owala bottles are popular with teen girls, the boys seem to like them too!

12. Drawstring Sack

This would also make a great basket idea…

13. Socks

Silly socks or sporty socks – teenage guys will always need new socks!

14. Sharpies or Doodling Pens

If they love making Sharpie Drawings – they’ll love a fresh pack to doodle with!

15. Journal

To make this meaningful, you could flip through and write scripture verses just for your child on various pages throughout the journal, to encourage him.

16. Body Spray

I love picking up clearance gift sets after the holidays and saving them for occasions just like this!

17. Belt

18. Bean Boozled Game

If they’ve never had this, it’s a fun one for teen guys to play together!

19. Car Air Freshener

We had several readers recommend car air fresheners – and we agree this inexpensive Easter basket stuffer is perfect for teen drivers!

20. Hackey Sack

These are old school but making a comeback!

21. Earbuds

You can’t go wrong with a good pair of earbuds to add into a basket. And there’s such a big range of prices on these – you can get a cheap pair or something really nice that can maybe double as another gift!

22. Dollar Shave Club Gift Box

23 . Card Games

Regular playing cards are a nice addition too!

24 . Spring Sports Gear

New baseball gloves, soccer cleats, soccer balls, etc… whatever you would’ve been buying eventually for their Spring Sports – might as well give it a grand presentation in their Easter Basket!

25 . Cash

Whether you stuff quarters/dollars into eggs – or add some dollar bills as part of the Easter Grass (as reader Staci remembered fondly from her childhood) – teens will appreciate this simple gift possibly more than all the others combined.
