We came home from Colorado to lots of sunshine. Our grass is green, my trees are blooming and the temps are rising. So is the pollen count, but I’m choosing to ignore that. I don’t really have spring allergies, thankfully, but the yellow dust that is covering every surface is annoying.
Almost all of these Easter ideas are part of the Amazon spring sale. Not all, but the majority, which makes stuffing baskets quick and easy. I focus on teens since that’s what I’ve got (sniff, sniff) and items that they will be able to enjoy in the summer months.
Ladies first! Here’s a look at some of the items I’m shopping for Emery. I’ll start with the one non-Amazon product: Free People’s big buckle EVA Madrid Birkenstock sandals. I love the aqua color and the fact that they can get wet. I want a pair for myself. The quantities are low, so if these are on your shopping list, I’d order now here: https://www.freepeople.com/shop/birkenstock-madrid-eva-big-buckle-sandals/?color=102&type=REGULAR&quantity=1
Madrid EVA Birks
Emery loves a good self tan (who doesn’t look better with some color?) and recently purchased Sunny Hunny by Coco and Eve. It’s REALLY good. The Easter Bunny will restock her favorites. I am thrilled to find that this bundle is part of the Amazon sale here: https://amzn.to/42pNgbp

For her face, Emery uses this: https://amzn.to/4l8dXKe

Emery loves soccer. However, she has the hardest time keeping up with soccer balls. I think a lot of them roll down the street, never to be seen again. Others are popped by Gipper. Still others are left behind at the fields. These Adidas balls are great for practice and now is a great time to stock up since they’re included in the Amazon spring sale. Who wouldn’t want a fun soccer ball in their Easter basket? Bodie doesn’t play soccer, but he and his buddies use these balls for kickball. Shop them here: https://amzn.to/4iIKGnG

I have shared this Elta MD tinted sunscreen for years and will continue to do so forever. It’s the best of the best. I use it daily. I am running low and went to order more only to discover it’s on major sale. I purchased two so I have one for me and one for Emery. Stock up here: https://amzn.to/3Xvl9FW
How cute is this phone charger? I’ll be honest: the reviews are not great. I usually stick to items that are 4+ stars because I’d hate to suggest something that doesn’t work well, but for less than $10 (only during the Amazon sale), I’m willing to take a chance. This will be so cute in Emery’s car. Try it here: https://amzn.to/41IsW5L
Beaded Phone Charger
Emery loves to make smoothies and milkshakes. I own several Our Place products and they’re all fabulous. Reviews indicate this little blender is worthy of the Our Place brand name. All of the colors except “Char” are part of the Amazon sale. I think “Spice” is really pretty. It’s available here: https://amzn.to/4l78nru

Brows are a major part of teen girls’ makeup routines, and this gel is the best. This is another item I buy in multiples: one for me, one for Emery. It’s on sale here: https://amzn.to/4chIfWH
Brow Gel
I posted the Free People puffer tote back in my Christmas gift guide for teen girls. While I still love those, I am extremely impressed by the Amazon dupe…and even more impressed by the sale price! These bags are light, comfy, colorful and washable. The perfect tote for the gym, work, sports, travel, etc. They make for a great grad gift, too! Click here to shop: https://amzn.to/3FX4XqQ
Quilted Puffer Tote
Now for the fellas! Per usual, I do not have quite as many ideas for the men folk. They’re so much harder to shop for. But I tried to sort of match my ideas for the ladies.
Once again, I’ll start with the non-Amazon items. Bodie has a few pairs of these Nike shorts and they are his current favorite. They wash really well and dry in minutes. So far he owns black and orange. The Easter Bunny may need to bring him another color to get through summer. Or probably another set of the black. They’re available here: https://www.nike.com/t/multi-tech-easyon-big-kids-boys-dri-fit-training-shorts-LfxxkC
Nike Shorts
Another Nike item on Bodie’s wishlist that will get lots of use this summer is a pair of slides. The Nike Calm slides, to be exact. I like all of the colors. Check them out here: https://www.nike.com/t/calm-mens-slides-4hQGBf/FD4116-201

Bose headphones are a high dollar Easter basket item and not something I’d normally consider, but the Bose noise cancelling headphones are included in the Amazon sale. I treated myself last month (they were randomly on sale) and I don’t know how I ever flew without them. Of course they’re great for other times, too. They’d make a wonderful Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift as well. Every color except Cypress Green is marked way down. I got the Chilled Lilac, but I think Bodie would probably prefer black. I didn’t include these on the girls’ list because Emery seems to prefer her Air Pods. Get the headphones here: https://amzn.to/42kZiDR
Bose Headphones
I can’t remember if I’ve shared these before, but Bodie loves Blender Bottles. Oddly enough, he also uses them for drinks that don’t require shaking. He likes them for the lid that snaps shut and doesn’t leak. They’re on sale here: https://amzn.to/4iNXaKM. This price point makes them the perfect Easter basket stuffer.

We enjoy playing games as a family, especially Bodie. Amanda at Dixie Delights shared Otrio several months ago and said her boys love it. I’d never heard of it, but the reviews are fabulous and it looks right up our alley. I appreciate anything that gets my kids off their phones and encourages time spent together. Add to cart here: https://amzn.to/42gFLn4

Bodie is particular about sunscreen: it can’t make his face white and it must smell good. Sun Bum has been his favorite for years. I love that it’s cleaner than many other brands. Sun Bum is a little more expensive than most, so I like to stock up when it’s on sale. Our late Easter makes this the perfect basket stuffer. He’ll be able to use it immediately. The OG spray is available here: https://amzn.to/3Y7FiSy, Shop the face stick here: https://amzn.to/42hJ921 and the lip protection here: https://amzn.to/4c8yHNH.

Consider this the least exciting Easter basket item ever, but my kids go through these socks like nobody’s business. I’ll use every opportunity to buy some: Christmas stockings, Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc. Some sizes, including Bodie’s, are on sale here: https://amzn.to/4cd54uP
Nike Socks
Bodie and I gave up chocolate for Lent, so we are EXTRA excited for Easter this year. I cannot wait to dive into some Cadbury eggs. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I get to go to Charleston for a wedding.
One last thing before I let you go…Easter grass is on sale! I like the paper variety. This is one of those things that I typically don’t realize I need until the night before Easter. Don’t be like me. Buy now here: https://amzn.to/4iTE8CU
