The Ultimate Preteen Easter Basket

I know I’m not the only mom out there trying to figure out what to give my kids for Easter! I swear it comes up earlier every year. Ok, maybe it doesn’t, but I am so busy it always feels like it is suddenly here and I have nothing planned! I’m trying to start a little earlier this year, which means I’ve already purchased everything. It’s all from Amazon, and arrived in 1-2 days after ordering.

The preteen/young teen age group (like both of my girls) can be a little hard to shop for. They want to be a grown up and a kid at the same time, and sometimes straddling the line between those 2 things can be difficult. I’ve been doing a pretty good job according to my girls! Below, I’m sharing the items I bought for both of my girls.

Sol de Janeiro Jet Set

It’s probably not a surprise to see Sol de Janeiro on this list! My daughters and all of their friends are huge fans of the line, carefully tracking each release! We have a few of these travel sets, and they are always a huge hit! My girls take the products with them when we travel as a family, to sleep overs, in their dance bag… you get the picture! Each set has a body wash, body cream and perfume body mist.

eos Shea Better Hand Creaam

This is a super hydrating hand cream that smells good and lasts through hand washing. It is one of the few hand creams that my youngest will use, so I try to keep her well stocked! These scents are Pink Citrus and Fresh & Cozy.

Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint

Is it a gloss or a lip stain? Or really, it’s both! I’ve been using these a lot myself, but haven’t bought them yet for my girls. They come in very pretty pink colors, and recently they released some reds. In the meantime, I’ve bought 13, 22 and 29. They go on as a very pretty non-sticky gloss, and once that wears away a pretty stain is left behind. The stain usually lasts about 6-8 hours (I often apply a regular balm like this one over the top), but will last longer if the Glowy Tint is reapplied.

Epielle Animal Character Sheet Masks

I’ve included these masks in a lot of gifts for my daughters’ friends, and they are always a hit! These sheet masks are printed to look like their animal, they are super hydrating and won’t clog pores. They’re a nice boost of glow that works for acne-prone skin.

Spa Headbands

My girls aren’t a fan of the spa headbands that go all the way around the head, and I find these actual headbands easier to put on. They come in a ton of colors and have an included set of wrist bands, which are great to prevent water from running down your arms when washing your face.

Kitsch Puffy Fabric Scrunchies

They’re silky and come in different shades. I have a Hello Kitty trio for my younger daughter, and the neutral/pink set for her older sister.
