We do a family basket for our family of 3 and pets. When my kid goes to college soon I'll send them an individual basket again All consumeables. I loathe making every holiday a mini-christmas and I bring enough crap into the house without doing that (and enjoy doing it!).

| Mine is getting Mogu Mogu. She thinks it’s the best and is not really a big candy kid. I’m putting 3 bottles in. |
Sure why not. But you will need to move to Brooklyn NY and live within 2 minutes of us. Were a very close family and my 30 year old dd, sil and grandsons live in the apartment, obove us while my 27 and 18 year old still live with me and dh. I dont spoil my daughters throughout the year unless Im shopping and see something they would like so little surpriss on holidays is what I do and it costs only about $100 or such for everything. |
| I got mine mini bogg bags instead of baskets with some candy. The bags aren’t cheap but I know they will use them constantly this summer. |
Where did you get a tiny squishmallow? |
I don't normally want candy, but will need to find this... |

| Like a pp I also do all consumables. Actively trying to live a clutter free/less consumeristic life. Social media is a plague. |
| Walgreens has the squishmallows and the Dr Pepper Peeps... |
| Any new ideas for Easter 2026? |
| I've gone with a special dessert for the whole family and one treat each (like one chocolate bunny or whatever they would like the most) and stopped any Easter baskets at age 18. |
|
I keep it simple and do the same thing each year. A few favorite Easter themed candies. Travel sized bath items they use. A gift card to Starbucks or a quick service place they like. That’s it.
It’s not Christmas part 2. |
Teens not preschoolers |
Thanks will do. The TIA is presumptuous. |
+1. Lots of parents of 5th graders on here who seem confused. |
