Gifts for Easter???

At our house, The Easter Bunny has shifted a bit from too much candy/sugar to little gifts. He brought Will both Obama books and an I-tunes gift card, and Kate got a bubble wand, cute new rain boots, a yoyoball, and a High School Musical CD.

When my kids were younger I'd put little spring toys and a movie in their Easter baskets because I didn't want them to have too much candy. My MIL always makes all the grandkids baskets full of candy.

This year my kids got smaller baskets but still got movies. Enchanted and the first season of Smallville on DVD (a great deal on Ebay for Smallville). We're going on a trip and they'll be watching them in the car tomorrow.

However you want to do the Easter bunny is fine. But once you start something you'll probably want to keep up the tradition.

Happy Easter to you and your little ones!

Oh yeah- luckeeeeee! Have a great trip!

I (that is, the Easter bunny ;-) ) did Easter baskets for hubby, mom, daughter, new BF, and me. Bought stuffed bunnies for mom and daughter, plus for daughter a chicken that dispenses jelly beans out its butt . We all got jelly bellies and chocolate eggs. Daughter always demands peeps and Cadbury eggs. My basket has a new Louis Vuitton wallet in it.

my son got a new hard case protector thingy for his nano iPod, 1 gift card for clothes, gift card for Cinnabon, Starburst jelly beans, Whoopers malt robin's eggs and a new tooth brush. (seems only appropriate with the candy.)

Do you give gifts for Easter??
My husband is out of town and he asked me last night if I got the girls something for Easter. I have a 21 month old and a 3 month old...what gifts?

I said the Easter Bunny is not Santa Claus. The Easter bunny brings eggs and chocolate....period. Right??

They are a little young to appreciate the Easter bunny yet, but I bet the older one would know what to do with the basket. Fill it up and empty it out! They're so precious and pick up everything so fast, just like little magnets. We always hid our kids baskets. Ours were mostly made up of candy, must have a big bunny, speckled malt eggs, jelly beans fo sho, and maybe a couple small Easter toys. That chicken butt thing sounds fuNN, BR.

The Easter Bunny always brings a few things in the basket besides candy for the kids. This yeat EB brought Enchanted and Kidz Bop 13 for my daughter (6), and for my son (9) EB brought 2 video games for his DS. Of course there is candy mixed in, but not too much. We colored eggs for Easter a few days ago, so there were eggs in the baskets as well.

Happy Easter everyone!!

Can't wait for daughter to see it when I give her the basket at lunch! BTW they're 40% off at Hallmark. I might buy another one for me for next year.

Our Easter baskets were mainly candy, but sometimes we would get a toy too. I still have a jumprope w/ little green frogs as handles (the legs broke off years ago) that was an easter basket gift.

When mine was little, she got eggs to hide and a small gift, as she did not care for candy.

As she got older the only candy she liked was Reece's so she got a few of them and a gift.

I think that is the fun thing of traditions, they are what "you" want them to be. Nothing more.

And our lab gets plastic eggs with treats in them, which we hide and she finds and puts back in her basket and goes in the house wanting me to hide them again.

I love that idea and am going to steal it!!!! ;-)

new toothbrush is a great idea.

we do lots of chocolate (big chocolate bunny and little reeses cups and chocolate kisses). I forgot the jelly beans this year! dang!

we also do a book, a few small toys, and this year, 2 pair swim goggles - really needed! OH! and the chicken that poops bubble gum balls...

the most funn was dying easter eggs last night and making them into star wars characters. I've got the pix. will post soon.

Sounds like the perfect day. I had an Aunt and Uncle who continued to do the egg thing long after all the kids had flown the nest. Said it was one of their favorite memories. Can't wait to see the eggs and may the yolk be with you

DD, I'm sorry, but that's just a little funny.

We got candy when we were little kiddos, but when I got to college Mom started sending me gifts for Easter. Little stuff, though--like a movie or a book.

Of course my birthday is always near Easter, so it's usually like a birthday appetizer.

DD, I'm sorry, but that's just a little funny.

Damn dog. I had to bake a whole new cake mix. But, I guess the silver lining is that I ended up with a three layer cake instead of two. I'm glad you were amused.
