We're getting our older elementary kids things they have asked for. One a Vera Bradley blanket and the other a pair of shoes. We'd probably get these things for them anyway, I'm just putting them "in" the basket along with candy and Chapstick.

We're doing a selection of local chocolates, including chocolate easter bunny. Nail polish & nail decorations. Hair ties and a new headband. I also try to add a throwback to something from when they were little. I think it'll be bubbles this year. Or maybe a kite.

I did when I came home from college for Easter dinner. Eggs with money in them were the best

A good novel

Hand cream

A throwback Chapstick, like Dr. Pepper or 7up flavored Bonnie Bell.

I do a pretty similar one. I always add a pair or two of colorful socks.

I always resupply our water bottle stock (they always disappear through sports).

I seriously wouldn't want any of that. Who wants cheap things? Just do nothing or give something they'd rather have.

LOL. The 20yo has been on BC since she was 15, and the 17yo isn't sexually active and hasn't expressed an interest yet. It's actually just a small bag of gifts. Why should only the little ones get candy & gifts? Both girls have received Easter candy and gifts their entire lives. It's fun for them. They still enjoy egg hunts too, but we do them in the dark now.

Magazines, nail polish, body wash, lipsticks, lottery tickets

Tray of peeps and a donation receipt to a charity that helps people in need:

Trying to come up with some new ideas to add to baskets for 17 and 19 yo females. Last year for each I did a Godiva Chocolate Bunny, Alex and Ani bracelets, Sephora gift card and locally made jelly beans from NYC. Trying not to do a repeat. Any ideas? TIA
