Easter baskets

Just wondering what you are putting in their Easter baskets this year. I'll put in a little bit of candy. Other than that, I'm not sure. I'm avoiding stuffed animals and small toys (like chalk, bubbles). Thinking about a new DVD, flip flops or bathing suit. But, I know they like to get things that are fun!

 

This year I am cutting down. My DH is out of work and all three of the girls' birthdays are within two weeks of Easter.

So far I have all candy but not a whole lot. They will also get something from my mom and my in-laws.

I did flip-flops last year and the girls loved them.

 

We don't do much. I've gotten them each a new Webkinz. Our Hallmark is going out of business so I picked up some in that sale. I'm also getting them each a new notebook to draw in. Normally I get the plain covered ones, but for this I get a fancy picture cover. I'll probably find some special kind of pencils and a little bit of candy and that's it.

For the twins I am doing pool toys, beach towels, a street sign with their names on them (I am making this using my Cricut), some candy, a couple glow sticks, and a couple $5 gift coins from Target. I might also put some bunny ears that I saw at the Dollar Store because they still like to do silly things like that. I also saw these eggs at Walgreens that you water and a flowering plant grows and breaks through the shell. I thought those were cool and think they would like those.

For my 18 month old I am doing a beach towel, a couple of the small Wow people, sunglasses, flip flops, bubbles, a glittery bouncy ball, bunny ears from the Dollar Store, and a couple of the small Reese's Easter eggs. Most of his items will come from the Dollar Store so his basket won't cost much at all. I love picking up little items from there. You can find some really cute things cheap.

 

I'm not sure what we are doing yet. I'm totally slacking this year.

 

I found some cute things at the Michaels and Target Dollar center to fill up baskets. I usually don't get much candy so I try to find small items that we can take on car rides/doctor's office waits and traveling to visit family.

They LOVE stuffed animals and play with them all the time and make paper clothes for them and they go to "school" so I am looking for a couple med size animals.

 

I try not to over do the candy as well. I never let them eat much of it anyhow
For Berk I usually add a DVD and big girl stuff and the boys some matchbox cars or little transformers. I treat them like Christmas stockings sort of.

 

well since the girls just had their 9th birthday Tuesday, they got alot of stuff then but going to put dvd's pj's flip flops, a little candy and a few other things!!!!
