Easter Basket

What are some ideas to put in a Easter basket for my 7 year old son?

My two little kids were easy figuring out what to put in there easter baskets. But my 7 year old is a little bit harder on what to put in a Easter basket.

Some of the usual (easter candy etc.), and then some fun kid's toys and games. I don't give my child a lot of candy, so I've been every route possible. I generally avoid baskets, especially now that he's older. This year my son is 11. I got him a neat box at a craft store to keep his "treasures" in, and that will be his "easter basket". He has painting kits that he can decorate the box with himself. The craft stores also have bins quite often with $1.00 - $2.00 gifts items. My son likes neat little crafty things, and I love that this is a good way for him to spend time on a rainy day rather than watching tv or playing video games. Puzzles, paint-by-number (maybe the fuzzy poster would be better for a younger boy), neat little playing card games, design a mug kits...there are so many neat little craft things out there.
