Easter Ideas For Teens

RE: Easter Ideas For Teens Post by kibby (26) | (03/14/2008) Contact They don't need presents for every holiday. Have a nice meal and a bible reading and the pleasure of the family's presence. Kids get treats and toys for everything. After so many years they tend to expect it, yet it isn't appreciated. I have 6 boys and 22 years of STUFF in the house and almost none of it means anything to them ( except new video games.)I do clean out the junk periodically, just can't keep up.

We have always colored the eggs the nite before, and as they got older they still love it. I now make deviled eggs from the colored ones and hide plastic ones with $ amounts in them. I get silver dollars from the bank and put one in about 5 silver eggs. Then I have 2 golden eggs that a $5 goes in. Their baskets have evolved as they have gotten older. Sadly I'm a very practical person. In the last several years I've been using bins that they can use for storage in their rooms. I HATE the easter grass so I either put a T-shirt or pom-poms or something else that is soft at the bottom. Then, I put 1 item that has to do with Spring. Frisbees, Kites, water toys; something that will get them moving (all from the $1 store). I put 1 item that has to do with family. In the past it's been photo albums or pic frames but this year they will get a flash drive that has digital pics of them with family moments already on it (any of these ideas can be found under $10). Then I also include the most important to me, the reminder of what Easter is about. Christ. At 13 they each received a new Bible with their names on it. I've also put devotionals, journals (with my notes to them as the first entry), coins with Psalms, key chains (my daughter likes Angels), Christian CD's, and other items along the way.

Some examples are pedicure and manicure, movies, bead store to make bracelets, pottery place to paint pottery, miniature golf, shopping spree (I think last one was $25 each). These are put into plastic eggs and hidden for them to find. What is nice is that they make notes back to me with things like 'let mom sleep in' or 'no fighting for one day'. LOVE that one and other ones about helping with chores and so on. I also like to make a spring basket with flower seeds, bubbles, jump ropes ect. and really try to get away from the candy. Another big benefit is that I have the opportunity to do these things with my daughters and they are getting a special treat.

I still have the cross necklace I received when I was 16. That was over 25 years ago. I cherish it dearly.

Our Walmart allows you to use them at their gas station and get 2 to 3 cents off the regular gas price. What driving teen wouldn't appreciate gas money that goes farther!

It would be like having your own spa in a basket. Or if they aren't into that kind of stuff, you could give them clothes, or a gift certificate to use at their favorite clothing store. Teen girls seem to really love clothing! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Easter Ideas For Teens Post By cindy (Guest Post) (03/23/2005) try buying a season pass to Universal Studios or Magic Mountain. Even gift certificates to the Mall are great. A gift card to the AMC theater is fun too.

I have found they love getting books, erasers, stuffed animals and figurines. My older daughters still have all the figurines they got in their Easter basket.

Put in a little candy if you can't resist.

They could break one egg every 10 or 15 minutes. The clue inside each egg told them where to find a surprise. (nail polish, lip gloss, nylons, note pads, blush, dusting powder, bubble bath, etc.) The fun wasn't the gift, but the hunt. Some of the clues I used were: I'm on top of the salt.-----(in the water softener) Behind a reflection-----(behind a wall mirror) I whirl things dry----(in the dryer) Under your undies ---(in the underwear drawer) I give you light---(taped inside a lamp or lamp shade) Under a runner ---(under a rug) Sometimes deciphering the clues took longer than finding the surprise. My girls loved this tradition, and still talk about it 20 years later. Remember to wash the eggs well after blowing. You don't want any gunk on the notes. ps. add more cute clues, I would like to read them.

If they have specific chores around the house you might make up "coupons" for you to do their chore when they turn in the coupon or you'll cook their favorite meal that night for dinner. If they're not driving age you could have a coupon to play chauffer and drive them where ever they want or to school if they normally ride the bus.
