I still don’t know how the Easter Bunny managed to disappear without a trace every year before my sister and I could spot him. As girls, we would eagerly wait for him to ring our doorbell and leave our baskets on the porch. The problem was, he always surprised us by dropping our goodies at a different entrance than the one we were waiting at. Whatever sort of bunny magic he used to trick us, I’ll never forget the excitement of running to the door and throwing it open to try to catch even a glimpse of his fluffy tail bounding out of sight. <\/span><\/p>\n

My basket was always bursting with milk chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, a homemade treat or two, and neon Easter grass, but there were also other surprises every year. Fun masks for playing pretend, chapter books and bookmarks, art and craft supplies. I went wild for the sweets, of course, but it was the small gifts that had staying power, especially as I got older and had enough pocket money to buy candy on my own. <\/span><\/p>\n

Easter isn\u2019t just \u201cthe candy holiday.\u201d It was, and still is, an important time for my family to be together, and the personal touches inside my basket are what reminded me that my parents understood me and my passions in life. Creating an Easter basket for your tween isn\u2019t hard. Keep their unique interests and hobbies in mind, all those little details that make up who they are, and they\u2019ll know their basket was filled with so much more than just snacks and sweets. <\/span><\/p>\n

Themed Baskets for Every Tween<\/h4>\n

I went through quite a few \u201cphases\u201d growing up. One year I was obsessed with <\/span>The Little House on the Prairie<\/span><\/i>, the next with <\/span>The Babysitter’s Club<\/span><\/i>. I wanted to be an actress, then a scientist, then a teacher. Whether your tween aspires to be a YouTube celebrity like Miranda Sings or a dance superstar like Maddie Ziegler, here are a few ideas that will make the Easter Bunny seem pretty cool in their eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n
