Speaking of Easter - what's in the baskets?

coasterqueen wrote: Since we are going to be out of town next weekend, the weekend after that is Megan's birthday party and then it's Easter we are trying to get Easter bought for now.

This is what I'm going to put in their baskets this year. I'm going much more "minimal" than past years since it's so close to V-day and Megan's birthday.

Both: silly putty, lip gloss, chocolate bunny, lifesaver book, little greenhouse garden set, watch.

Kylie: A webkinz

Megan: Some kind of little animal that makes sounds and moves when you feed it a bottle. I got it at Target last night and I have no clue on the name. I wanted something close to a webkinz for her.

That's all that I plan to put in their basket. I'll put jelly beans and coins in their eggs that the bunny hides.

Kaitlin'smom replied: dunno but I guess I need to think about it and get shoping before it creeps up to fast on me. March seems to be quite busy already

Calimama replied: Disney Princess dress up set
Children's bible
Pictures of daddy (weird but she flips over them )
Art supplies

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Just some cookies and candy so far.

I really don't know what else to get them. I normally do swimsuits, but Maddie has a ton of swimsuits that I got on clearance last year. I might get her another webkinz.

I don't know what to get Ethan. I could use some ideas.

kimberley replied: the webkinz is really for u, isn't it Karen

i do the usually chocolates and spring stuff.. bubbles, sidewalk chalk, balls, skipping ropes. for K, we have those hollow eggs and put cereal, crackers and coins in them.

sparkys2boys replied: For Cameron

moped replied: UGh is Easter that soon?

No idea what they are getting

Maybe socks, gitch, chocolate (cause that is just what Jack need)

Calimama replied:
Maybe more blue hair gel?

coasterqueen replied:
well, maybe.

A&A'smommy replied: hmm I dunno yet... probably just a little candy, and a some stuff for an art project or something no toys she has WAY too many!!

Boo&BugsMom replied: Tanner: Webkinz (polar bear), Transformers, Transformers book, star wars sword, Ben10 rocks, a few little cheap odds and ends

Aiden: T-shirt, Tadoodles crayons, truck, ball, book

A have to get a few more small things for Aiden yet, Tanner is done.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Mackenzie wants those blendy pens, so I have to find some. I also go her a Veggie Tales DVD. Probably an Easter book and some small stuff and minimal candy!

Our Lil' Family replied: Up until today I had nothing but a Chocolate Bunny ordered from a World's Finest fund raiser that we do every year.
Today at Target I picked up 2 puzzles and some bubble bath. I didn't have Easter on the mind but as I was unloading the bags I realized that I just added to his Easter basket!

Anthony275 replied: i never knew so many people put gifts in the baskets???

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Naomi you made me hungry for a World's Finest chocolate bar with almonds. I haven't seen one in years!!

holley79 replied:
Is that one of those Furreal friends?

coasterqueen replied:
Ooh, bubble bath - good idea. Too bad I'm done with the girls.

holley79 replied:


OMG I haven't had their chocolate in forever.

MoonMama replied: I haven't even thought about it yet.

I did however get him his Easter suit a couple weeks ago.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
When I was growing up I only got all chocolate and candy. It was great when I was young, but I don't want my kids to have all that junk. They get plenty from grandma and grandpa and other people. Tanner isn't a big junk food kid anyways, so he much prefers the little presents.

Brias3 replied: I haven't really prepared for Easter yet, but must start thinking about it, since its early this year!

I picked up a few things at Target last week but so far, just got the actual baskets, some chocolates, a bunny Pez dispenser each (standard each year ), some cute kids gardening things for Aliyah, a new soccer ball for Ryan and a book for each kid. Still need something for Mason and some small things for all three.

coasterqueen replied:
It might be. I'd have to look.

booey2 replied: Not sure, but I saw some really cool looking baskets at Shoppers Drugmart yesterday, Sponge Bob themed. I may just pick them up, as the boys don't need anymore toys or stuff, and these had candy and chocolate in them. I will most likely get them a bathing suit or 2, especially Matt as he has outgrown everyone he has and Thomas is reaping the benefits of that, loving hand me downs.

Hubby may or may not go for the pre-made baskets but if I show him how much I would have spent making them he may go for them as they are cheaper.
