Choose a modern container:

Skip the frilly wicker kids’ basket. Use a sleek tote, mesh pouch, or even a reusable organizer that matches their style.

Let one item be “big”:

For example, a cool tech gadget or stylish bottle makes the basket feel special.

Fill with 2‑3 smaller, meaningful pieces:

The self‑care item, the treat, the creative kit.

Add personal flair:

Maybe a note, a photo magnet, or a custom keychain – something that shows you know them.

Keep candy moderate:

Teens still appreciate a sweet, but if the basket becomes all sugar it feels juvenile. Balance treats with useful items.
