They get plenty of baskets from the family so I bought them each a $20 DS game instead.

DD is almost 8 - I need more ideas too. So far I got her lip gloss, a paddle ball set, cute socks, and some candy. I will probably go to claires and get some cheapy jewerly or hair stuff too.

I remember loving getting some trendy outfits back at that age. I'm trying to remember the brand that was all the rage back then with the oversized t-shirts and Capri leggings to go underneath. That was a cool Easter.....

My son is not a tween, but a teen now. I used to do swim stuff most years, swim trunks, rash guard, towel, etc. This year we have more than enough swim stuff, so I bought 2 video games that were $5 from 5 below, a Minecraft guide book, and a bunch of reading books (he loves to read). I don't do a ton of candy, just because I don't like either of my kids to eat a lot of it.

Agree..debating on whether or not to even bother. DD is 6 and already has sooo many toys. I just threw out a whole bunch of toys. I don't want to buy junk just for her to have a basket. If I buy anything it may be a game or DVD.

My ds requested bath bombs from Lush. I went today-they have cute ones shaped like Easter eggs. He also wants the new lego hobbit game for Xbox but i am not sure if it is out yet so I will probably put a GameStop gift card in. Aside from that, just candy.

That game is out for the Xbox at Gamestop. I went to get it for my son for Wii U, and of course it's the only platform they haven't released yet.
