Yeah I'll figure this out next week... who cares about Easter baskets right now

You must be confused, you didn't even mention your HHI.

The Easter Bunny brings the basket so it costs me nothing.

We use the same baskets and grass every year for the last 5 yrs. The kids are now 8 and 6.
They get a Lindt chocolate egg.
One small chocolate bunny
They will each get three books.
Sidewalk chalk - one child is getting glitter and the other neon.
New canvas bags to take to the library - One with "I love reading" and the other says "Nuts about books" with a cute squirrel.
New swimsuit (something they need)
New flipflops

Last year they got Tennis rackets and a can of tennis balls.

No we do not post pictures on Facebook but we do send them to the grandparents in an e-mail or skpe with them so they can see the basket.
How is HHI relevant?

This thread is dumb.

I'm astonished that people do Easter baskets.

It sounds like Spring Christmas.

Was it hand woven by unicorns?

I know this probably sounds dumb, but DH and I both have identical Easter baskets that were bought from carpenter shops and painted. We grew up in different areas of the country so we've always joked we were meant to be together since we were babies! Had to find matching ones for the kids.

I love a good pagan festival. Ancient Phrygo-Roman god Attis, born to a virgin, crucified on a tree, descends to the underworld and is resurrected 3 days later. Its a story worth stealing

Reuse baskets and plastic eggs year to year. Hate that fake grass, use whatever tissue paper I have left over from Christmas.

Spent about $25 at Five Below this weekend for 2 kids. Mix of candy, small toys, art projects.

I mail ordered some candy from our favorite candy store so paid $15 for shipping. All in $60 for 3 kids. The youngest of these kids is 20. But traditions die hard in this house.

We reuse the baskets every year. They always get a new swimsuit, goggles, flip flops and a little bit of candy. Maybe a simple easter egg hunt outside if the weather cooperates

Ok thanks, I have seen people treat this like another christmas and buy big ticket items like ipads, video games etc...

Not putting candy, but small toys like ink stamper and a harmonica and bubbles. Kid is 3

HH income is 265k. Not sure why that matters in a post about easter basket. It would also never occur to me to post a pic of kids easter basket with stuff in on on FB.
