Easter Baskets

How many of you make Easter baskets? We have 6 grandchildren and they each get there own basket. And before that each of my 4 children got baskets. So the night before Easter we line them up on the dinning room table and away we go. Each basket is the same. But they look forward each year to getting one.

I have three grandchildren....and I use to make up baskets for each of them....their parents always made up a big basket for them, too....

I stopped doing that because they are limited to how much candy they can have...add the Easter candy to the Halloween candy....their collection of candy was ridiculous...

I now send them a card with money in it.....

I bought hand-painted baskets that we use every year. I fill them with gift cards and stocking-stuffer type gifts, more so than candy.

When the grandkids were small we put change in those plastic eggs and scattered them around the back yard. As the older ones got better at finding them, it wasn't fair to the little ones, so we filled the eggs with change and then filled baskets and hid the baskets outside (inside, if it was raining/snowing). Now they are all teenagers, but they still want to come over for their basket This year we are putting a chocolate cross, a few jelly beans, and a $5 bill in an egg in each basket.

I think the Easter Bunny still comes to their house, too lol!!!

DH, our daughter and I do baskets for each other. A See's candy egg and small gifts. DD bought a single serving French press for her dad, I got him several new books and I can't remember what else (on pain killers and sleepy), our girl is easy to buy for: earrings, fancy eye shadow, a VBradley bag and other things. Love doing baskets

No worries Ladybug....I was speaking strictly about baskets at my house (I'm the grandma!). The Bunny delivers the official baskets at their home!

DD and DS are in their 30's, but I still make an Easter basket for each of them. I put 2 boxes of their favorite Girl Scout cookies in them along with gum, various snack crackers and of course Reese's peanut butter eggs, Cadbury eggs and other traditional Easter treats. No grandkids to spoil yet! LOL
