Last month, my oldest daughter turned eleven. Ah yes, the tween years are upon us. That means she is NOT too cool to receive an Easter basket but she is WAY too cool to have it filled with plastic eggs and candy meant for children. Clearly, as I have been told numerous times already, she is NOT a child. So, what do you get a tween for Easter?
In an attempt to find something anything that my newfound tween will deem age appropriate, I started reflecting on the things she loves (in no certain order):
- Friends
- Sweets
- Music/Dance
- YouTube personality “Challenge Videos”
I had a light bulb moment! I will fill her basket with everything she needs to make her own Peeps Challenge Video with her friends! Not familiar with Challenge Videos? Basically, the participants taste random Peeps with their eyes closed and try to guess the flavor. The person with the most correct guesses wins! Fortunately, PEEPS & COMPANY® sent me a wide variety of products that work with this theme perfectly. To be honest, I had no idea that Peeps came in so many flavor varieties! Her basket includes:
- PEEPS® Orange Delight Flavored Marshmallow Dipped in Orange Fudge
- PEEPS® Lime Delight Flavored Marshmallow Dipped in Lime Fudge
- PEEPS® Party Cake Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
- PEEPS® Sour Watermelon Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
- PEEPS® Raspberry Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
- PEEPS® Chocolate Dipped Mousse Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
Along with a few other “tween friendly” items:
- 5-inch PEEPS® Plush
- PEEPS® earbuds
- HOT TAMALES® Jellybeans
I think the Easter Bunny totally nailed this basket! Not only does my tween get some fun items for herself but it is essentially a “play date in a basket” to share with her close friends.
