Easter baskets

bumpuser8448316 · March 2014

So far for DS I have: monsters inc electric toothbrush, spider man socks and muppets in space DVD. He'll get a small chocolate bunny and plastic eggs filled with coins and $1 bills. I have Nothing for DD yet.

What is going in your kids baskets?

kristen714 · March 2014

DD is almost 2. She is getting Frozen DVD, muppets take manhattan DVD, annies fruit snacks, bubbles, maybe a little people bunny if I can find one, a frisbee, annies cheddar bunnies, socks, and a miniature chocolate bunny.

My boys are 3.5. I have been done with them for 2 weeks- they have- coloring books and crayons, bubble makers, chocolate bunny, gold fish, oreos, fruit snacks, dum-dum suckers, sidewalk chalk, stomp rockets, bike helmet, swim trunks with rash guard, water shoes, new Lightning McQueen beach towel and new sand box toys.

I will get some plastic eggs and put $1 bills in them to mix with eggs that we color for the Easter bunny to hide.

I totally admit that I do go over board- especially when I buy things a little at a time- like I did this year.

We only do candy in their baskets and maybe an Easter book. I'm really not a fan of presents for Easter. I feel like every holiday is turning into a gift giving event, it's overboard.

He has one of those non-spill bubble things, a wooden train whistle, and some stickers. I'll fill a few eggs with goldfish and m&ms or something, but not until like the day before so it doesn't get stale. We don't do too much for easter.

sunnydays99 · March 2014

DS (4) is getting a double sided superhero cape (superman on one side and batman on the other) and a Lego junior set.

DD (will be 2 the week after Easter) is getting a bike helmet. I need to think of something else for her! I find her a lot harder to shop for! Lol

They'll both get some treats and probably a book too.

LatteLady5 · March 2014

I never got presents on Easter growing up. Just a basket of candy and goodies. My grandmother bought the kids extra presents so they'll get those in additions to the random stuff I put in their baskets.

DS is getting Frozen (because he totally cares at 3 months) and probably a soft rattle and a teething toy of sorts.

DD will get some oranges, candy and Annie's organic bunnies. Her present is a veggie tales princess castle thing. She actually already saw it hiding in my closet and started yelling up to Bob the tomato. "Mommy dats Bob! What you do up der Bob? Get down here!" LOL

Well you're no fun. I'd rather do a basket full of small gifts than a bunch of candy though.

MomIn2013 · March 2014

We never did much in the way of gifts growing up, and I don't think we will for DS either. The Easter Bunny will leave some treats, like chocolate eggs, etc. (when he's older) in a basket, and maybe one small gift like a book or something.

Keeptruckin · March 2014

We have to do mostly toys due to food allergies. Though I did find gf dairy free certified chocolate so she will get that. Otherwise sticker books, craft stuff, hair stuff, and a few spring outfits. Oh and a gardening set, she is stoked to garden this year!

SallyAnneS · March 2014

Ds is almost 3. In his basket will be books, puzzles, a chocolate bunny (maybe) and bubbles. In the eggs will be socks, coins, small chocolates and goldfish.

Ugh Mosters Inc is the worst. He'll probably love it, but we were gifted it and that movie isn't nearly as good as Moster's University.

Okay back to your OP....candy, this lego barbie dream set (I got a really awesome deal on it), and frozen.

It's an electric toothbrush, not the movie. We have the movie though and he likes it. I've never seen Monsters U though, maybe I'll pick that up too

Rink08 · March 2014

Books, jumpropes (for the older two), chalk, and small outdoor toys. We don't do candy due to allergies and just not wanting the extra sugar (They'll get that from both sets of grandparents later that day).

barnwife · March 2014

They will get 5 plastic eggs filled with: M&Ms, jelly beans, stickers, craisins, and something else. They will also get a small chocolate bunny. There will be a group gift of sand toys (mostly because I want to get them some new ones).

Easter is not a gift giving holiday. I hate that it's turning into that.

bumpuser8448316 · March 2014

I've always gotten a basket filled with some candy and some small gifts so I don't think it's anything new

notkateanymore · March 2014

DD- bathing suit, iTunes gc, some candy and some $1 in the eggs.

DS- Teethers, Orajel, Tylenol and sleeping pills...sense a theme?

Then why are you giving gifts? Serious question.

If he likes Monsters Inc, I think he'll LOVE Monsters U.

Monsters Inc is FAR superior to Monsters U.

Rink08 · March 2014

Oh, and Peeps. Can't forget those.

lyingliarlies · March 2014

i only remember getting candy in my basket too. those huge premade & shrink wrapped baskets in the store always blew my little mind.

so far i've got a Batman Pez dispenser, coloring books, & a M & D reusable sticker set (on clearance at Michael's last week for 2.99!) i'm going to look through the closet of random stuff that family has given him or stuff we've picked up wherever - so far i've gotten Batman magnets & a train whistle (thanks PP for reminding me of that!) i'll probably put some coins in plastic eggs so he can put them in his piggy bank.

Chapter79 · March 2014

We do a small gift, because I don't think she needs 30 pounds of candy. She gets a huge basket filled with just candy from her great-grandparents. We are getting her a little mini lego city kit, 1 book and a few candies.

chardonnay24 · March 2014

Chocolate bunny (little ones, I think Lindt?), stickers, a toy snake, a wind up bunny, scissors, play doh, bubbles, sunglasses, a sunflower grow kit, and...more things that I'm forgetting or have to buy because that list seems small.

JMC11511 · March 2014

L is getting the Planes DVD, two Star Wars cars, probably some new crayons, sidewalk chalk, maybe an Easter book, eggs filled with either quarters or jelly beans, and probably peeps.

CountryMile · March 2014

DS will be 5 soon. I think a lego set, some candy, a book and whatever else Target sells me on.

LoriLee14 · March 2014

Bubble gun machine, Monsters Inc (very fake) camera, a stuffed bunny. and after that I am not sure. I keep a basket of small toys of cars and light up machines. I will fill up the basket with random stuff. I might go out and get a book. I like books

nonoemily · March 2014

I'm not putting candy in a basket for a two year old. Maybe if he was a little older is give him a small amount of candy, but really, what's the point?

I'm going to do a small basket with a couple board books, maybe a small stuffed animal and some small tub toys, like a rubber duck or frog.

dizzycooks · April 2014

Hair bows, bunny shaped chalk, Minnie mouse coloring book, markers, bubbles, a few chocolate bunnies, Annie's bunnies, and an Easter book - Easter is Joy a gift giving holiday, but if the bunny is bringing something it's not going to be a basket of junk food.

fancynewbeesly · April 2014

We will probably just get Reese a bunch of DVD's--Monster House (she loves being scared!), Brave Little Toaster and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. She has WAY too much toys and art supplies. She has food allergies, so many candies are out. We may put some gummy bears into her basket because those are her favorite candies.

jnksmom · April 2014

I haven't bought their stuff this year but I always buy a book or two, outdoor stuff like chalk, jump rope, bubbles, etc. then they each a get a couple treats as well.

pitterpatter129 · April 2014

Crap. This is soon isn't it. I just go through Target and grab some stuff from the dollar aisle. Usually non-candy because my peanut free kid and toddler can't have 99% of the candy. I have a big rule about things needing to actually fit inside the basket though. It's not Christmas.

peaceinnature · April 2014

Just finished today. He's getting a Max and Ruby DVD, a Stella and Sam book, baseball hat, sunglasses, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, a hot wheels car, and I'll probably throw in a few jelly beans and a bag of animal crackers.
