Easter is hopping our way, and if you’re anything like me, you want to put together a basket that’s more than just chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs (although—let’s be real—we’re still totally including those too). If you’re shopping for a 9-year-old boy this Easter, I’ve rounded up some fun, practical, and just plain awesome finds that will light up his face brighter than a glow-in-the-dark baseball. Yes, that’s a thing. And yes, it’s included.

Check out everything I’m putting in my son’s Easter basket this year—you can shop the full list right here!

1. Make It Personal

Who doesn’t love seeing their name on something cool? Personalized gifts make the basket feel extra special.

• Custom Book from Story Bug – Your kiddo becomes the star of their own story! It’s such a fun keepsake and makes reading even more exciting.

2. Cool (and Useful!) Gear

Because we love a basket that’s equal parts fun and functional.

• Owala FreeSip Water Bottle – These are the BEST for school, sports, or park days. They keep drinks cold for hours, and the colors are so fun.
• Personalized Name Plate for Owala – No more mix-ups with friends. This clip-on name tag is cute, durable, and perfect for adding personality.

3. Game Night Goodies

Games are always a hit in our house—and these are great for travel, too!

• Monopoly Deal – A fast-paced twist on a classic. It’s easy to learn and super addicting.
• UNO – A forever favorite. You just can’t go wrong!
• Battleship- Dont forget this all time fave!

4. Play All Day

This find takes the fun outside—hello, spring energy!

• Glow-in-the-Dark Baseball with Bluetooth Speaker – I mean… a baseball that lights up and plays music?! Instant favorite.

5. Snack Attack!

Toss in a few tasty treats for the ultimate boy-approved snack stash.

• Slim Jim Savage Meat Sticks – Great for the kid who prefers savory over sweet.
• KRAVE Beef Jerky Variety Pack – Fun flavors and packed with protein—perfect for on-the-go snacking.

6. Something Festive

You know I had to include at least one adorable Easter item…

• “Hangin’ With My Peeps” Tee – A funny and festive shirt that’s perfect for Easter brunch, egg hunts, and pictures with the bunny. Plus I got matching with his baby bro!

7. What They Really Want

• Gift Cards- We all know that’s all they want! Might as well jazz them up with a personalized gift card holder.

I love curating a basket that mixes fun, function, and a little wow factor—and this list seriously checks all the boxes. Whether you’re shopping last-minute or planning ahead, you can grab everything I used right here for your own Easter surprise!
