I'm thinking maybe $20/$25 per kid but not sure I can get much for that. Anything more though seems like a lot of money. I can't even remember what was in A's basket last year or how much I spent. What do you spend, on average?
-
I bought Frozen on Blu ray so that was $22? I also bought R a book based on Frozen and I think that was under $4. The movie is really for me now but she'll watch it when she's older.
I just bought some Puffs on sale so I'll throw 1 or 2 of those in the basket too.
-
@Bao: I am going to try to stick to $10 each, we can't do much but I want to do something… It's not much but DD is only 3 months old and I think we can get creative. So far I have a $6 outfit I found for DD and I think I might add socks or a small rattle or something. For DS I was thinking of finding a cheap board book at TJMaxx or some fun snacks that he doesn't usually get… Maybe a bottle of chocolate milk, a fruit pouch, maybe some bubbles, crayons, or sidewalk chalk.
-
@Bao: nothing? I will make him some fabric eggs, and muffins. Grandparents are each doing a book and a toy.
-
$5-10. Last year ge got a board book and a stuffed bunny. This year he'll get a board book. Once he's older, it'll just be candy.
-
I spent $4 at the dollar store today on some rabbit bubbles, a wind up bunny toy, and some egg holders to put puffs and treats in. I'll probably get a book, too. $15 maybe? Shoot, the basket cost twice as much!
-
@blackbird: haha, R's basket cost a bunch too but I just keep telling myself that we will be using it for 18 years.
-
@blackbird: @swedishfish: I got a $4 lined basket for the girls, can't beat that
-
@Bao: good deal!
-
I don't think we'll really buy anything! I figure she has no idea what's going on yet. she has a small basket from last year, I may put Annie's Bunny Grahams ($2), a book and maybe a small toy or a refill for her gymboree bubbles!
-
I bought him a swing instead of a basket this year. I think it was $25.
-
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.
-
I still haven't gotten her anything
-
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.
-
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
I think I'll get her some new hair accessories and maybe a board book, too. So less than $20.
-
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.
-
About $50 total.
-
Zero lol. Maybe once she is older i will put more effort in?
-
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.
-
Last year I spent about $4, this year it is $20.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
@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
-
@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!
-
I think $35-40/kid this year.
-
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.
-
@Running Elley: haha, great minds think alike! DH won't let me watch it till Easter though.
-
@swedishfish: Mine either
"The rule" was that it has to stay wrapped until then. Party poopers!
-
$10 each kid. DS gets a bunch of candy and a little toy and LO will get baby stuff.
-
$25-40? My parents spent quite a bit on us for Easter so I'm sure it will be more expensive as he gets older. I bought him a book, some snacks, bath crayons, maybe a new hat and a puzzle.
-
Under 25. I got her a spring book, a small wooden rabbit (starting a collection of wooden animals for when she is older), and I'm going to put a couple pouches and maybe some teething biscuits. I was thinking about getting her some bubbles, too.
My aunt made her basket, so I didn't need to buy one.
-
I do not really know the amount I spend, but about 2 years ago I started buying a swimsuit for my niece and nephews as Easter presents. I might add a little bit of candy, but that's about it. I will probably continue this for our LO.
-
We won't be spending much. I'm reusing my sister's old basket and we picked up some bunny ears, bubbles, and little snacks...like 5$? 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$
-
Zero. We don't do Easter.
-
I spent about $10. Two coloring books, crayons, a sippy cup and refillable push up pop tubes.
-
Too much. I love Easter, and my mom set a high standard when I was little.
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). 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!
-
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.
I just bought some Puffs on sale so I'll throw 1 or 2 of those in the basket too.
