Any one doing Easter Baskets?

[RCT]

Dh and I were just talking about Easter being this Sunday and he questioned if we were still doing Easter Baskets :bunny: I said well yes, why would we stop...I still an Easter Basket until I moved out of my parents house...

so what do you do at your house?

:lol: :lol: I've always made Easter baskets for my dd's... and as each got married, I'd add another basket. I don't actually make them in baskets anymore... but I buy those $1.99 plastic bins (with covers) and make them in there. It doesn't seem to matter how old they are... they still like/look forward to getting their baskets full of candy. :lol: I also always make Sarah a nice easter basket, not a lot, of candy but a lot of fun games/toys.

Yes! We're doing them! B says she prefers Dove Milk Chocolate, so the Easter Bunny will be giving her a Dove Bunny. LOL! (And darn, since she can't eat chocolate yet, I guess I'll be eating it. ;) ) I'll put a jar of organic carrots in there for her! YUM!

I have a bunny bib and rattle for her and a couple of little books and bunny bubbles we'll blow outside if the weather is nice. MB is getting your standard stuff (candy and a dvd or some other similarly-priced item).

Yes, we still do them. Usually just some candy and some sort of small gift. This year, the boys are both getting a book they've been waiting for (next in a series, type thing). I often put a new swimsuit in their basket, too...since they'll need them soon anyway. LOL

Thanks for the reminder. I still haven't gotten my Easter tote out of the shed! I have purchased several things during the "after Christmas and after Valentine's day" periods. Nothing for ds though. I may just buy him a Wii game he wants and some candy. My mom does huge baskets and a huge hunt for all the grandkids, even the 22 year old ones! They really look forward to it all year!

Yes, but I have no idea what I'm going to put in them. I think I've got a little bit of candy and a stuffed rabbit for ds3 (he's really too old for stuffed animals, but it's a chocolate looking bunny with a t shirt on that says something like "Save the bunnies - eat jellybeans.", so I thought he would like it.

I ordered the requisite Sees eggs for dh. Hopefully they'll get here in time.

Not sure what to do for the teenagers. Cash and gift cards, I guess. Wish I could think of other little things.

Yes we do them too. I got the boys chocolate yesterday but I need to get them back packs to put them in. Getting new backpacks because theirs are in need of replacing anyhow. lol
Ds4 is getting a few toys like a stuffed bunny, popper and fridge magnet toy. He has a chocolate egg in there just to say he has one but I'll add some fruit to his. Older boys I'll put in a new game. Ds3 wants a new webkinz so I'll look for the duck. :)
