Best Easter Baskets Ideas
1. Snacks
If your son is anything like mine, he always needs snacks otherwise the whole “hangry” thing gets real in a hurry.
Add his favorite snacks or treat snacks to his Easter basket.
2. Hat
The sun is out so much more now that spring is here. Get him a new ball hat.
There are so many to choose from but you can’t go wrong with one representing his favorite sports team.
Think adult size here so he can wear it for as long as he likes.
3. Sunglasses
If you know he likes to wear sunglasses, snag a pair for him.
Here are a few good options.
4. Water Bottle
Get him a nice water bottle to keep him hydrated. This is something he can use every single day so it is money well spent.
Hydro Flask makes great water bottles.
5. Cup
Does your son have a favorite character? Get him a mug or stainless steel travel cup.
He will use this!
6. T-Shirt
Pick out a t-shirt with a print of something he loves (in the next size up).
I love giving useful gifts like this!
What is your son into? There is a wide variety going on around here, anything from Star Wars to Looney Toons to Garfield and let’s not forget pro football.
7. Crocs
Are Crocs the real deal at your house too?
Get him another pair, a bigger pair. He will be growing soon!
8. Swim Gear
Easter means summer is close and I am pretty sure your son grew out of his swim gear.
These swim shorts are so good. And the compression liner is the way to go.
9. Watch
If he has any interest in a watch, have him try this one out.
It is a fitness tracker and charges with a USB.
10. Sports Cards
Does your son like pro sports at all? Think sports cards, mama!
You can toss a few packages in along with a card binder and he will love it.
11. Pokémon
Or maybe Pokémon is popular at your house (one of my boys is obsessed). Pokémon cards make great Easter basket fillers.
You can get crazy and add in a binder (this is a must if you don't have one) or even a Pokémon handbook.
12. Books
Continue to build your son’s library and he will continue to want to read.
Here are a few no-fail options for you to choose from.
13. Board Games
Playing board games with your son is a fantastic way to spend screen-free time together.
14. Video Games
All boys love video games and will play them as long as you let them. Get him a video game he has been wanting.
15. Simon
Simon is a great game to practice concentration and memory. You will get sucked into it too!
16. Slinky
The original fidget that no one can keep their hands off of. The Slinky is so much fun.
17. Shape Shifting Box
I have been eyeing this little shape-shifting box for a while now and finally got to see it last Christmas when my nephew got it as a gift. Everyone wanted to try it.
18. Playing Cards
If you are looking for something cheap to put into your son’s Easter basket, get these waterproof playing cards.
There are so many games he can play and they are hours of entertainment.
Include this book of card games if you only know how to play a few of them.
19. Boogie Board
Have you seen this boogie board yet? If you haven’t you need one for your son and for yourself.
It is great for jotting down notes, drawing pictures, and as scratch paper for helping with homework.
20. Rubik's Cube
This challenging little cube has entertained so many people for years now.
The Rubik’s Cube is fantastic if your son likes to problem solve.
21. Legos
You can never have enough classic Legos. I am talking about the loose ones that don’t come in a kit.
Don’t get me wrong, the Lego kits are fantastic but just don’t get played with as much as the classic Legos.
22. Army Men
Just like classic Legos, you can never have too many army men.
If your son is into these, more guys are better!
23. Dominos
I am not talking about the domino game here, but the dominoes you can set up in a design and knock over. These are dynamite.
Your son will have so much fun creating with these.
24. Science Experiment Kit
If your son is like every 8-12 year old boy I know, he loves doing science experiments.
National Geographic makes rock star kits that will keep your son busy for a while.
25. Dart Board
This magnetic dart board is so good. Saves on those holes in your wall.
Or you can be bold and go with an original type of dart board too.
26. Drawing Kit
Does he like to draw? Get him a sketchbook with some mechanical pencils.
This is a great kit to take in the car or use when waiting. It's way more creative than playing a game on the phone.
27. Nerf Guns
Boys love Nerf guns!
We have a wide variety of them and even though the ones that hold lots of Nerf darts are cool, the Nerf guns that hold about 6 darts are the ones that everyone wants the most.
28. Laser Tag
Your son will have a blast playing Laser Tag outside whether it is day or night. I am told it is so much cooler in the dark.
This laser tag set is so good and can be played with or without the vests.
29. Walkie Talkies
When it comes to walkie talkies, these man ones are the ones to get! I am serious, do not go for the cheap route here. You will only be disappointed.
He will love using these while he plays laser tag with his buddies.
30. Fox Tail Game
For as simple of a game as Fox Tail is, kids are obsessed with it. A classic outdoor game from the 90s.
31. Sports Balls
Get your son outside with some new sports balls.
This Nerf football is a favorite around here and somehow we ended up with 3 of them. They all get used.
But don’t forget about a basketball, soccer ball, or even a new baseball glove.
32. Remote Control Vehicles
Boys love driving around remote control vehicles. The best ones are the ones that can go outside.
33. Fishing Gear
Are you a fishing family? Add in a new lure or 2. It is a great way to help him build his tackle box.
Check out my post for a complete list of great options: Kids Tackle Box – The Essentials You Can’t Forget.
35. Flashlight
I know you are questioning me right now but your son will use both a flashlight and a head lamp over and over again.
Try to find it in his favorite color. It is just more fun that way and he will know it is his.

What are your family traditions for Easter? Let me know in the comments below.
Easter is the one holiday where we don't travel to see family. We do an Easter basket hunt, and Easter egg hunt, and then I always have 1 Bloody Mary as a toast to my Grandpa, who always had them to celebrate Easter.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by.
