    I think it is good to give the kids something other than candy, but a trinket or small toy is what I would do for easter. Dress Clothes given before easter, with a light jacket (but this is just shopping for the season).  Chocolate, Jelly beans, fruit, and a toy, maybe 15 dollars for an itunes gift card. Nothing huge.


    **Also, what do you think is an appropriate age to stop giving kids an easter basket?
    I got one until I graduated from college. My dad mainly used it as an excuse as we got older to go to the fancy chocolate store in town to fill our baskets and get some of the good stuff for himself as well.



    Ditto, I had a pink and purple easter basket my parents filled every year right up until the time I graduated high school. Didn't go home for easter during college so I just skipped the holiday completely.

     

    Lots and lots of candy and chocolate in my easter basket. I loved getting the huge reeses' easter egg - yumminess! Every year I'd get a stuffed animal from my mom. It was cute. That continued after I graduated. She'd wait for me to get home from college during the summer and give it to me.

    Reese's eggs have the best chocolate:peanut butter ratio of all the shapes.

    WHAAAAAAAAAA?


    No. We got candy and a few small things. I don't think my parents ever spent more than maybe $50. 

    And if we're being honest, Easter baskets are all about the candy. GIMME THAT CHOCOLATE BUNNY. 

    ETA: It's like a lazy version of Halloween. Candy delievered directly to me right after I wake up.
    YESS!! Gotta have the chocolate bunny!! I'm still a sucker for those damn cadbury eggs. Some things you just never outgrow. 
    Those things are ruining my freaking wedding diet. I can't resist them!
    I'm averaging a bag a day. NO SHAME.

    My mom still sends me Easter baskets and they've always been candy, makeup, and nail polish. Like 20 bucks max.

    I got easter baskets too. It was mainly small things like a gift card, candy, a book and/or a stuff animals. When I was little it was candy, stuff animals, and maybe a coloring book. Now as I got older, it's gift cards, makeup, and/or a book. It wasn't anything pricey at all. My mom still gives me gifts for easter but its not in basket form. It comes from the post office.

    That was pretty much ours. Candy, maybe a small toy or a movie. Can't remember anything more expensive than that.

    It changed the older I got. When I was real little, candy and a stuffed animal, small toy and a book. My tweens/teen years I'd usually get some flip flops, sunscreen, a new beach towel, some candy, and a book/movie. And then as an adult (cause yes, I still get an easter basket), I'll get some make up or a movie, maybe some hair stuff, a book, usually still some new flip flops and a beach towel.


    My mom will pretty much give you a book for any reason. She's big on reading. Wifey and I each got a book for our wedding.
    I'd love to get books for everything. My mom hateso to read but my MIL loves to read and I can almost always count on at least on book from her. :smile:
