Every item on this page was hand-picked by a House Beautiful editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

If you’re an expert at filling Christmas stockings, you’re all set to buy Easter basket stuffers because they’re similar in idea. The only difference is that the latter activity is often limited to children, which makes shopping a bit easier. After all, kids are not quite as hard to impress, right? Plus, finding something teens or babies will love and use makes us feel good, too. So we went ahead and brainstormed the best products anyone under the age of 12 would genuinely be thrilled to find in their white-washed wicker baskets. If you’re wondering what to get your niece or baby cousins this year, you’ve come to the right place.

From a bracelet set with sparkling charms to a kid-safe smartphone that can play music and take selfies, there are plenty of solid picks on our list ahead. The best part? Everything is under $50, so feel free to grab more than one item. While some of the products will speak to today’s generation of kids, others will feel more nostalgic. Think a vintage Candy Land board, stick-on earrings, and even a lava lamp. No matter what you end up getting for the little ones at the party, you’ll be just as excited to watch them open your gift as they are to use it. Plus, as long as they like to have fun, they’ll love whatever you end up popping into their Easter basket this year.

Our final shopping tip? Don't wait to add your favorite items to cart because the holiday will be here before you know it.

For the Nostalgic

Claire's Stick-On Earrings For Kids

Stick-On Earrings For Kids
$17 at Amazon

If you were a child of the '90s, you will definitely recognize both the brand and the concept of these jewels, which may be a generous way to say stick-on earrings. They're fun, colorful, and will make anyone wearing them feel a bit more sparkly.

For the Swimmer

Super Smalls Born to Be Wild Goggles

Born to Be Wild Goggles

When Super Smalls launched in 2019, there were only a few jewelry pieces to shop. Now, there are tons of options, which expand well beyond jewelry. Our favorite accessory on offer? These bejeweled swimming goggles, which are undeniably inspired by Iris Apfel's iconic look.

For the Picky Eaters

Uncommon Goods Fairy Garden Plate & Utensils

Fairy Garden Plate & Utensils

Even the pickiest of eaters will eat every crumb off this funky plate, which comes complete with matching utensils. The cutest part is the fact that it's shaped like a fairytale-inspired garden. Even the utensils are shaped like landscaping tools.

The best way to quiet a child's mind before bed is to keep them away from screens. Our personal favorite way to engage in something a bit tedious without getting too bored is a jigsaw puzzle that, when it's finished, reveals a delicious-looking treat.

For the Teen Beauty Queen

Shoprox Spa Headband and Wrist Bands

On Sale
Spa Headband and Wrist Bands
Now 29% Off

"My 11-year-old cousin gave me this set as part of a family Secret Santa exchange, and I am shocked at how much I've used it," Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner admits. "I have long hair that does not stay in a ponytail, so whenever I wash my face, it gets soaked. This thing really changed my face-washing experience. The matching wristbands also keep the water from dripping down your arm and onto the floor."

For the Fashionista

Super Smalls Heart to Heart Jewelry Set

Heart to Heart Jewelry Set

Super Smalls is the jewelry brand for anyone under the age of 12. Everything looks and feels like what you'd find in the vault of a heritage jewelry maison. The only difference? These are meant for kids, so if a faux diamond or sapphire gets lost, replacing it won't bankrupt you.

Chef Cricket DIY Edible Slime Science Kit

DIY Edible Slime Science Kit

The perfect halfway point between slime and icing, this edible science kit will keep all kids occupied for at least an hour. When they're done feeling like an old-school researcher, they can snack on their creation.

For the Makeup Lover

Glossier Balm Dotcom

Balm Dotcom

"I have been collecting the Balm Dotcoms since Glossier's inception in 2014. They're all extremely hydrating, but my personal favorite is the birthday cake-flavored one because it smells good enough to eat," Cherner explains.

For the Writer

For the Little Baker

Jereann Zann Confetti Cake Pop Kit

Confetti Cake Pop Kit

This kit by the founder of Little GF Chefs will make any child feel like a master in the kitchen. Even non-recipe followers can whip up a batch of deliciously sweet cake pops that will keep them occupied, happy, and full.

For the Silly Kids

Outus Rainbow Pens

Rainbow Pens

Kids may not have as much work as their parents, but every now and then, they'll have to jot something down, so why not do it with a fun and quirky pen? These look like little creatures, complete with rainbow beards and highly expressive eyes. Your kids won't want to put them down.

For the Athlete

Recess Cherry Paddle

Cherry Paddle

Outdoor pickleball is one of the best sports because anyone can play. Whether you're four or 74, you can spike the noisy ball over the net. Recess makes pickleball a little more stylish with fun printed paddles and matching attire, so if you have a budding player in your family, you can't go wrong with this sweet gift.

For the Candle Collector

Voluspa Santal Vanille Jar Candle

Santal Vanille Jar Candle

For the teens who love to light a candle while doing homework, add this into their basket. "I used this scented candle in my freshman dorm because it completely eliminated (or at least masked) the musty, stale smell," Cherner says. "The scent isn't too sweet or strong, but it's just enough to make any room smell delicious."

For the Early Risers

Collective Home Monogram Ceramic Mug

Monogram Ceramic Mug
Now 18% Off

Kids may not be big coffee drinkers yet, but they can still enjoy a hot beverage in the morning (even if it's just warm milk with a dash of cinnamon), so help make them feel like they're part of the coffee brigade with their own monogrammed mug.

For the Bath Taker

Danielle Smith Ice Cream Scoop Bath Bombs, Set of 4

Ice Cream Scoop Bath Bombs, Set of 4

Sadly, these are not perfectly scooped ice cream balls. Rather, they're ice cream-shaped bath bombs that smell like their named flavor. The pink one, for instance, smells exactly like strawberry ice cream. No matter which one you plop in the tub though, it will leave your skin feeling supple and soft, courtesy of the cocoa and shea butters in each of them.

Cozylook Slipper Socks with Grippers, Set of 2

Best Seller
Slipper Socks with Grippers, Set of 2

Whether it's the dead of winter or the middle of summer, sliding your feet into cozy slipper socks is always a good idea. These are our favorite because they're finished with grippers on the soles, which hugely minimizes the risk of slips, trips, and falls.

For the Teens

Cleverfy Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

On Sale
Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

If your kids have graduated from baths, you may want to swap your bath bombs for shower steamers, which basically perform the same function. Simply place one in the corner of the shower so it's out of the water's direct reach, and let it do the rest. After a few minutes of steam exposure, it will dissolve and fill the space with a delectable aroma.

For the Spa Lovers

SAPYONY 3-Pack Sponge Mesh Pouf

3-Pack Sponge Mesh Pouf

This pouf is basically a loofa and a massager in one, and it does a good job at both. It also comes in a set of three, so feel free to toss one out after using it for about a month.

For the Ones With Dry Lips

Beauty Pie Smooth Ahead Nourishing Lip Scrub

On Sale
Smooth Ahead Nourishing Lip Scrub

While some sugar scrubs are 100 percent edible, they're not always the most effective. That's where this one comes in. Like the tasty ones, this scrub is also made with sugar cane crystals, but there are also a few additional ingredients, including avocado, hemp seed, and sunflower seed oils to soothe and protect lips after the sugar-induced exfoliation.

For the Ones With Long Hair

Kitsch Spiral Hair Ties

On Sale
Spiral Hair Ties

"I have tried everything from scrunchies to traditional elastics, and nothing keeps my hair in place like these spiral ties. They also don't leave a crease in your hair, which makes them an instant favorite," Cherner notes.
