So if you are anything like me, you may dislike the never-ending candy cycle that begins potentially in late October, running right through Easter! There are many "Easter-basket" suggestions for young kids, but as your kids get older, I feel like suggestions for non-candy, practical (i.e. things they will actually use!) Easter-basket ideas are very welcome!
My focus is on older teens/early adult these days...and maybe some of these ideas could help you! Most are well under $10, a few are under $20! May I share with you some of the "little" gifts that I have gotten, or will be getting, for my 3 children?

Nice treat for travelling, too.
