Good morning and happy Saturday!  I spent some time this week curating my kids’ Easter baskets and decided to create my first ever gift guide to share my ideas.  These are all items my kids love and fit the bill for most Easter baskets:  inexpensive and small. 

First up, a classic that seems to please every age.  Jelly Belly Beanboozled jelly beans provide lots of laughs in our family.  Emery and Bodie love tricking their friends with these.  Linked below for your convenience.  Even the adults in our family have fun with this game.

The next item going into my kids’ Easter baskets is Speedo Vanquisher goggles.  Bodie still wears the junior size, but Emery is now in the adult version.  I love these goggles so much!  I wear them when I swim laps.  They come in excellent colors and really stay in place.  Linked below for easy shopping.

And for the adults/older kids:

Another item both of my children are always happy to get is a sensory toy.  A friend of theirs has several of these push pop bubble stress reliever fidget things and they really are satisfying.  Again, this is something that appeals to all ages, even adults.  Amazon link below photos.

This may seem random, but my kids love flashlights.  We always take them to the beach for crab hunting at night.  During the summer, many games of flashlight tag take place in our neighborhood.  I usually replenish our flashlight supply throughout the year in the form of stocking stuffers or in their Easter baskets because, inevitably, we lose some.  These flashlights are inexpensive, waterproof, come in fun colors, and have great reviews.  I will be adding to cart!  The pink costs more than the other colors, but totally worth it in my opinion!

Posca markers were all the rage in my house this winter.  Bodie actually asked for these for Christmas, which surprised me, as Emery is usually my artistic kid.  However, they have both really enjoyed drawing with these and personalizing items with the vibrant colors.  Bodie enjoys watching YouTube videos of Posca creations and trying to duplicate them.

If you’ve got a road trip in your future, a clipboard is a necessity!  I happen to know of a little shop that sells adorable personalized clipboards.  Wink, wink.  In all seriousness, Emery and Bodie use their clipboards a lot.  Bodie usually tackles his homework while we’re in car line picking up Emery each afternoon, so the clipboard comes in handy.  Emery takes hers to Bodie’s basketball games to color (with the Posca pens, usually) during lulls in the action.  Link to my Shopify after the pictures.

Lastly, for those of you with tween girls, NYX lip gloss is fabulous.  I have several shades of this gloss and Emery keeps stealing mine.  She’ll be getting her own for Easter.  Creme Brulee is our favorite shade.  It’s light and universally flattering.  Amazon link below.

I hope this helps with your Easter shopping!  I really enjoyed brainstorming and creating these links.  Admittedly, I am a little out of touch with the toddler set these days, but Jessica at Mom in the Mitten has got you covered there!  Her youngest just turned three so she’s got her finger on the pulse there.

I’m off to enjoy a day of basketball and then hopefully a quick sushi dinner with the hubs.  Enjoy your weekend!
