An Easter egg hunt? A basket full of candy? Most teenage girls will deliver an eye roll and mutter "whatever" when it comes to participating in these annual children's rituals. Put the fun and excitement back into the morning by piling her basket with gifts and goodies that she'll be texting her BFF about.
Think of her Easter Basket as a Cool, Teen Gift Basket
Forget the Peeps and the jelly beans. Today's hip teenager will go crazy when she finds the latest spring and summer fashion accessories nestled amid the plastic grass in her childhood Easter basket. Purchase the latest round, oversized sunglasses or some cool aviators. Then look for some fresh accessories that showcase the bright, citrusy colors popping up everywhere this spring.
Get some turquoise, orange, or lemon patent flip flops. Get her an eye popping, green skinny belt for cinching spring cardigans. Find a light scarf with an ultra modern color combination: hot pink and peach, pink, navy and green, or turquoise and orange all make fresh statements.
Teen Beauty Products Add Fun to Her Gift Basket
Visit the drugstore, a discount store, or Sephora to buy your teen fun beauty products. Some quick picks to look for include self tanner, body lotion, lip balm, make-up brushes, eyelash curlers, make-up remover, and Q-tips. At Sephora, look for small, travel size perfume bottles as well.
To keep her toes in step with the latest fashion trends look for a blue nail polish, lightened up for spring. Try Slushied, a color inspired by the hit television series Glee and manufactured by Sephora by OPI. For a light lip gloss that compliments most skin tones and wins the approval of even the most conservative moms, buy her NARS lip gloss in (don't be swayed by the name) Orgasm. For a make-up palette, try one with lavenders and purples, both popular on the spring runways and complimentary with any eye color. Tibi for Bobby Brown's Peony and Python Palette fits the bill.
Jewelry and Hair Accessories Complete a Basket Teeming with Cool Gifts
Jewelry is an easy and low cost way to try on trends and update a look. For teenage girls, took for leather wrap bracelets featuring inspirational sayings, rhinestones, beads, grommets, and other interesting details. Look for earrings bearing the ever popular peace symbol. Check out J. Crew or Banana Republic for bib necklaces. Try glass or resin rings or cuffs for unique, fresh additions to a teen wardrobe. Then, indulge in the leather flower trend. This spring you'll find beautifully cut leather flowers attached to everything from necklaces and pins to barrettes and ponytail holders. Snag one and tie it to the top of her basket.
