How much are you spending on easter baskets and what is your HHI

[Anonymous]

We're French and don't do Easter baskets or see this as a gift-giving holiday. However chocolate sculptures, large and small, with little chocolate eggs inside, are big in France. In the Lenotre caterer and chocolaterie in Paris, there are displays of HUGE, intricately decorated Easter eggs, or Easter hens, or whatever takes their fancy. Those are quite expensive! Here we buy the Lindt bunnies and carrots for the children.

We don't do plastic or candy in our home. Our baskets are hand-woven heirlooms made by an artisanal fair-trade women's coop in Peru--we went there on our honeymoon and have ordered one for each child for their first Easter.

Each child will receive one live chicken, a carob pagan fertility doll, and a seaweed snack.

$5k per basket (they are gilded and will be filled with lilies)

$10k for premium Easter Bunny rental (he's guaranteed to be house broken and poops lavender scented pellets)

$2k on ultra-artisanal Easter eggs pre-laid with decorative stripes and monograms of each child's name

HHI: If you have to ask...

Easter is the holiday I go to the thrift shop and get my girls a handful of old Barbie clothes and call it a day. They LOOOOOOOOVE it.

It's all about rebirth and resurrection, right?

I call troll! No self-respecting pagan would associate carob with fertility.

This whole thread makes me sad. You people have bastardized Easter all because you HAVE to make everything a money competition.

I don't understand OP - what is your question?

[Anonymous]

s/o: what do you give your child for Memorial Day and what is your 401(k) balance?

I dunno, I got an Easter basket as a kid, and my family was practicing Catholic. It usually had a chocolate bunny, some candy, and a gift. We did an egg hunt in the backyard. Seems reasonable to me.

I'm astonished that people do Easter baskets.

Who doesn't do Easter baskets?

Well the approximately 70% of the world that is not Christian for one thing….and then also the people who think it is a waste of time and money.
