For years,  kids love candy in their Easter Egg baskets, and for years, that worked just dandy! But now the kids are "tweens" and maybe the candy does not work any more..or so THEY may think.

Here are some ideas to put in the Easter Baskets for your 13 plus year old. First off, yes, indeed, get them the Easter Basket! Then get the plastic eggs as you would normally do. For the younger children in your family, the jelly beans, chocolates and malted milk eggs do just fine.

Here are some different ideas:

Yogurt raisins, Gold Fish, lotto tickets, erasers, mini glow sticks, arcade coins, and don't forget about nail polish or glitter lip gloss.

Try some new things such as movie passes, iTunes music cards, or gift cards.

Think about who you're giving the basket to, think of their age and their hobbies. There are always great alternatives to candy. But regardless of the age, everyone loves an Easter Basket!
