I did a Walmart run, nothing exciting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514995 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:22:15 +0000 Andrea 1514995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. I don't really see the point of Easter baskets. I never had one growing up so it's lost on me I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514970 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:03:25 +0000 photojane 1514970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too much. I love Easter, and my mom set a high standard when I was little. :silly: I've already gotten her two movies, a Baby Stella, two books, and a few little Target dollar bin things. So, maybe $60 so far? There are a couple more things I want to get though (bottle for her baby, candy/snack, chalk). </p> <p>To be fair, one of the movies we got her was Frozen, and we would've gotten it regardless. We actually already watched it because I couldn't wait, but I'm still putting it in her basket! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514922 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 06:07:01 +0000 Beyond2 1514922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent about $10. Two coloring books, crayons, a sippy cup and refillable push up pop tubes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514886 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 02:01:23 +0000 lamariniere 1514886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero. We don't do Easter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514663 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 21:07:02 +0000 Bookish 1514663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We won't be spending much. I'm reusing my sister's old basket and we picked up some bunny ears, bubbles, and little snacks...like 5$? Next year we will probably put a little more in, but we aren't real big on Easter gifts...so probably no more than 20$ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514653 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 20:56:11 +0000 seabsher 1514653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not really know the amount I spend, but about 2 years ago I started buying a swimsuit for my niece and nephews as Easter presents. I might add a little bit of candy, but that's about it. I will probably continue this for our LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514644 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 20:49:08 +0000 Silva 1514644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under 25. I got her a spring book, a small wooden rabbit (starting a collection of wooden animals for when she is older), and I'm going to put a couple pouches and maybe some teething biscuits. I was thinking about getting her some bubbles, too. </p> <p>My aunt made her basket, so I didn't need to buy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514476 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 18:31:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1514476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$25-40? My parents spent quite a bit on us for Easter so I'm sure it will be more expensive as he gets older. I bought him a book, some snacks, bath crayons, maybe a new hat and a puzzle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514446 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:56:20 +0000 Dandelion 1514446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$10 each kid. DS gets a bunch of candy and a little toy and LO will get baby stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514423 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:41:02 +0000 Running Elley 1514423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Mine either :( "The rule" was that it has to stay wrapped until then. Party poopers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514416 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:37:27 +0000 swedishfish 1514416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: haha, great minds think alike! DH won't let me watch it till Easter though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514400 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:25:44 +0000 StbHisMrs 1514400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well it depends on whether we have his daughters. All but Charlie have baskets already, I try to keep the 3 around $25, all 5 around $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514391 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:21:21 +0000 chopsuey 1514391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think $35-40/kid this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514389 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:20:37 +0000 Running Elley 1514389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Haha I wonder how many babies (read: mommies living vicariously lol) are getting Frozen for Easter! I know I was thrilled when I came up with the idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514379 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:13:42 +0000 junebugmama 1514379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: we didn't do easter baskets until last year. My parents bought the kids stuff and we just pretended that was from the bunny lol. Last year though when we had 2 little people walking around, it felt wrong not to, so we did lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514367 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:05:53 +0000 Anagram 1514367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not doing Easter baskets until she's old enough to appreciate it. I'm actually not sure I'll ever do it. Even as a not-very-religious person these days, the commercialization of a Christian holiday rubs me the wrong way. Which is also one of my issues with Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514365 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:04:31 +0000 Running Elley 1514365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year it was about $20 for DS and a little over that for DD. The only reason that DD's was more was because I bought Frozen to put in her basket even though I would've bought it for myself anyway lol. They are both getting little wooden puzzles from Target, an Easter sippy for DS, a big sticker book from Costco for DS, bunny PJs for DD, hairbows for DD and plastic eggs for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514359 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:58:18 +0000 honeybear 1514359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe $20? He's getting some new books (okay, I want some new books!), and a bar of fancy chocolate. It'll be the first year he gets a basket. He's 3 and I didn't think of it last year. I'm thinking the books and chocolate theme will be a recurring one around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514349 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:44:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 1514349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't gotten anything yet - I'll probably hit the dollar store or target for some little $1 stickers, and maybe some new art supplies. My mom is getting her a basket and I suspect my MIL and aunt will too, so she'll be getting plenty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514342 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:35:19 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1514342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easter is a good time for new toys for us, since it is 7 months since his BD and 4 since Christmas. So I will probably spend 20-25. I usually wouldn't for another mid-range holiday (like VDay or Halloween). I got his basket at a thrift store and reuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514322 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:05:14 +0000 Radish 1514322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I spent about $4, this year it is $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514313 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:01:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 1514313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I got her the pottery barn basket and liner but that'll be for every year. I probably spent $50-$60 to fill it but I admittedly go overboard. Part of it is a stainless steel water bottle I would have gotten anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514309 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:55:30 +0000 DillonLion 1514309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero lol. Maybe once she is older i will put more effort in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514306 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:52:55 +0000 littlek 1514306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About $50 total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514301 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:49:18 +0000 JessKas 1514301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is only 7 months, so I just bought a few cheap things from the dollar section at Target (a pinwheel and some sunglasses) and a pair of shorts. Spent $7. Might add a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514276 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:37:38 +0000 lawbee11 1514276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted a jellycat bunny and I am totally putting it in her basket...she's only 7 months so she won't know the difference :silly: I think I'll get her some new hair accessories and maybe a board book, too. So less than $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514272 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:35:14 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1514272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got her basket but I have no idea what to fill it with. She'll be 10 weeks old. She has mspi, so I can't fill it with chocolate for her (OK, me. Lol.). I could do jellybeans. Maybe an outfit or easter book? I mean, it's really only for a photo op so I don't want to spend a ton! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514257 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:27:51 +0000 MrsH 1514257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still haven't gotten her anything :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-easter-basket-items#post-1514256 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:26:32 +0000 winniebee 1514256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 20 bucks. Will get some plastic eggs and fill with m and ms and maybe get a book and a toy for him. Last year I hit up the dollar aisle at Target and got a bunch of stuff there plus the Fischer price musical remote. </p>
