Best Easter Basket Ideas for Tween Boys

First, you’ll need an Easter basket to put all these great gift ideas for your tween boy in.

You could go with a classic Easter basket. We have a few of these we rotate through. They aren’t necessarily exciting to a tween boy, but as long as they are simple like this Easter Basket (LOVE the plastic insert) or these classy looking wooden Easter baskets tweens won’t be irritated by them.

If I’m looking for something new, I love going with functional storage containers that my tweens will use year-round. This prevents me from needing to store an extra Easter basket and, fingers crossed, maybe my tween will actually clean his room.

These large storage bins make a bright and cheery option for Easter. I love the classy look of these foldable linen storage boxes (and they’d make great belt or tie storage later).

These bins from StorageWorks have a metal frame built in so they are super sturdy and they look great on a shelf.

For a super functional Easter Basket option, I love using new lunch containers. These trendy Lunch Bags can easily pass for Easter Baskets and are super functional long after Easter is over. These YETI Daytrip Lunch Bags are very sturdy and can definitely hold up to tween boys.

I don’t know a single tween boy who doesn’t need some help getting his laundry off the floor and into a laundry basket. This Linen Collapsible Laundry Basket is a great solution and can be used as a one-time use Easter basket!

This basket is straightforward, with no frills (so your tween won’t roll his eyes) and is perfect for reusing as a gift basket down the road.

For tweens who need some storage in their bedroom, these black plastic storage bins with lids make great Easter basket alternatives, and they can be used to tidy up messy spaces after the holiday is over.

Kanoodle is always a favorite with kids who love brain teasers. My tweens love these Wooden Puzzle Magic Balls (although I can not put them back together to save my life).

Building toys are always a great gift idea for tween boys. I look for something more challenging.
