Easter gift - not chocolate?

I buy a small Easter gift each year for my twin nieces who are now 12 years old. I prefer not to buy them easter eggs as they get so many, but I'm finding it hard to think of a gift that is easter-themed that is suitable for pre-teens. Can't get away with toy bunnies any more! Budget is about 15 pounds each.

Ideas?

I'm not in the UK so general suggestions rather than specific products please.

Do they like make up? Or body spray?

Beauty blenders are egg shaped:)

Haha good thinking! I don't really think they are into makeup in a big way, they're more at the lip gloss and nail polish stage.

Skin care products
Bath bombs
Washable hairsprays of some wild colors
Gift cards to accessories/clothing stores
You can also add an easter video card to actually acknowledge the day if you wish, but the gift doesn't have to relate to it much, imo.

I know you said not specifics but if you have Lush they have a full Easter range in with bunny, carrot, chick, egg shaped Bath bombs and soaps which are cute.

MIL got my DDs a pancake pan and matching spatulas (different colours) as they like making pancakes.

Chocolate face mask, chocolate chap stick, rabbit earrings ( if pierced) Easter themed pencils/pens.

Easter/Spring Lego set (there's a few out - a couple of bunny ones, a bird's nest with birds in).

Stationery. Suitably themed notebooks etc.

Egg cups, spoons, soldier cutters.

Lush easter themed bath bomb.

My daughter is 12. Her absolute favourite things to get are gift cards for Primark, H and M or Claires Accessories.
She also loves body spray, lip gloss and stationary like nice pens, highlighters etc.

Have a look on Revolution beauty there are some lovely make up/skincare sets reduced from Christmas still.

Thank you so much for all these ideas! There were lots of ideas I loved but are out of my price range (everything is expensive where I live!) or just not easily available here. I do want something easter-themed rather than just a 'normal' gift, because that's the whole point IFYWIM.

I'm going to see if I can find some easter-themed notepads or journals because who doesn't love stationery!

Lush do Easter themed bath products eg individual soaps, bath bombs etc. I remember one gift set which was £12, contained two egg shaped bath bombs and looked like a nice gift.
