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.

That's a great idea, PP!

If it's on Facebook we all have to out do everyone dahling !

Omg stop. Just stop. I'm embarrassed for all of you who are responding to this.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

$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...

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.
