2nd + time moms come in: Easter Baskets

What are you putting in your children's easter baskets?

I want to get DS's basket done this weekend since I can go anytime.

Re: 2nd + time moms come in: Easter Baskets

  • DS is super into puzzles, and Target has some good ones in the dollar bin right now, so I got those.  Sidewalk chalk, bubbles and a DVD.  We are putting change and dollar bills in the eggs that he will find.  He loves his piggy bank, so I think this will be very exciting!!

  • We scored an amazing deal on a little bike for DS, so he's getting that (obviously not IN the basket) but that's not a normal, every Easter kind of thing.

    We're also getting him the Cars movie, a bunch of match box cars (his current obsession), bubbles and I got some animal crackers to put in there. He'll also get a bike helmet.

  • some wind up and pull play animals, probably some goldfish or other cookies. I'm not big on candy for him. He has TONS of toys so I'm really trying to avoid more stuff.
  • Mostly toys, games and a book. Play dough and some molds or cookie cutters, a coloring book and crayons, or something small like a comic book and a action figure from the comic book.  I also put a few filled plastic eggs in the basket with some jelly beans and a chocolate bunny that the family will share with DD.  She will look for eggs in the yard before church and they have a hunt at the church.  They fill theirs with individual wrapped candy, religious stickers and little toys from Oriental Trading Co.

  • So far, I have bubbles, books, little bunny ears, sand toys and a dvd.  I also bought some plastic eggs to set up a little egg hunt in the back yard.  DD is too young for candy so I'm struggling to think of what to put in the eggs...maybe goldfish or animal crackers.

  • My DSS is 10, so his basket consists of legos, candy, etc. but I just had to tell you that Babies R Us has the most adorable bunny slippers (white/blue or white/pink) for toddlers. I may just have to go back and get them for my nephews. I don't see them online or I would show you a pic.

  • Coloring books, crayons, some hair toys and probably some princess-themed stuff from the Disney store. For candy, I'll get some lollypops and some pastel M&M's. I usually fill her plastic eggs with Annie's bunny-shaped snacks (the gummy kind and the graham crackers).

    No idea on a "big" gift right now. She got an easel last year and a baby & stroller the year before. I may cave and get a play kitchen.

  • Some colored pencils (she's into them as of late), the Rapunzel movie, an Easter related/religious book yet to be found and perhaps a new bike helmet. They have a lot of cute stuff at World Market, FYI.

  • I usually just get a bunch of stuff from the Easter section at Target.  I will get them each a movie (Tangled for DD1 and a Dora movie for DD2), other then that, I have no clue.  DD2's birthday is a week after Easter so probably not too much.

  • So far....I have some balloons (he's obsessed lately!), Dora/Diego bubbles, some sunglasses (another obsession) and 2 matchbox cars.  I've just been grabbing things here and there.

  • I got all out dorsey things, bubbles, water baloons, sidewalk chalk, hulahoops, water guns, a new sprinkler (for all 3 of them to share) beach towels, and some flip flops. Just a few pieces of candy, a giant lollipop, gum, stuff like that. & change & a few dollars for the eggs they will find.

    I was thinking of adding new swim suits as well but we will see if I feel up to shopping again.  :)

  • I can't believe I haven't put any thought into this at all! So glad everyone posted these ideas. Last year I did the Boon grass drying rack {yeah, definitely more for me}, bunny ears, a bath faucet cover, a pair of Wallabees, 2 $1 books from Target, and some Boon feeding products.

    I just remembered I've already ordered a monogrammed melamine plate coming in soon that I guess I'll save for his basket... Also last year I didn't put anything in the eggs, but he had a blast playing with them anyway.
