easter basket

what are you putting in their easter baskets? I havent bought anything yet. but I'm thinking mostly toys and books. what are some good ideas that are small and inexpensive?

 

mine are getting sand buckets at baskets this year (we are taking our first trip to the beach in may). I bought some extra sand toys, beach balls, bubbles, travel doodle pro, spud buds, coloring book and crayons. I'm going to get a TY Pluffy for their animal. I'm putting some snacks in a few easter eggs to hunt along with a couple $1 bills for their banks.

Have fun!

 

Kites, puzzles (I got a cute Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit one at Barnes & Noble), gardening toys, plastic eggs with stickers in them...

 

I was just thinking of this very thing this morning. I am doing it different than when I was a kid, we got mostly chocolate, jellybeans and something "fun". I remember one year we got rollerskates from the bunny LOL.

To answer your question I am not doing all candy, infact I"m barely doing any candy, they are getting each:

-stuffed animal
-book
-pair of jammies (this has become a tradition, Easter and Xmas new PJ's)
-a new outfit
-Sierra: some hair accessories and earings
-Ryan: hotwheel cars
-bubble bath stuff
-one small purdys bunny

And whatever else I can think of LMAO

 

I am getting them each a book, outfit, crayons/paper, Blake a thomas train and Katelyn a doll set and fruit snacks for the plastic eggs!

 

We will probably do some stuffed animals, small toys, animal crackers. Last year they got Red Sox t-shirts.

 

Thats a really greay question. I hadnt even thought about easter.

from the idea's i've gotten from this thread im thinking maybe going toys over chocolate, last year they were only 3 months old so we just got them a new outfit and a stuffed animal.

 

I have already gotten a few things. They include...a small ball, they love balls, a new outfit, some small bathtub toys, bath crayons, and some snacks, like animal crackers and gold fish, and also 3 books for each of them, plastic eggs with fruit snacks, and I still need to get them a small stuffed animal.

My DD however is older (almost 8), and I got her some bath lotions, and some art supplies, a few reading books, a new outfit, and plastic eggs with money, for her piggy bank, and a little bit of candy. I usually get her more because she is older, but they will probably be pretty close this year. Oh and she gets a stuffed animal too! HTH!

Oh and for those of you trying to keep the basket all together...DOLLAR TREE sells shrink wrap! It is the greatest thing ever! VERY EASY TO USE! I LOVE IT!

 

This year I'll be getting them new bike helmets.

 

Dollar Tree sells shrink wrap?!?! Oh, I am al over that!! LOL!
