We have six grandchildren and every year we make our own. No matter what age they still like to get the Easter basket. Each one gets the same so there's no comparing. When I was small my aunt made the Easter baskets. They were gorgeous. I mean it. They were big and decorated beautifully. She had a nack for design and it showed up in the baskets. Even my husband gets a basket. Anyone make baskets for their loved ones and do you like receiving one ?

I used to do this, but $ is an Easter card is best.

ABSOLUTELY! It's still one of our favorite things to do on Easter! My mom gets one, hubby and me - we still 'hide' them too - there's always a competition to see who can find the most outlandish place. We put gift cards, small gifts and chocolate in ours - nothing 'that's just for kids' about them at all!

I still make baskets for my kids - 19 and 16.  LOL

We have an Easter Egg hunt too.

I have always made one for my husband, he never got them as a kid. Then one year he told me that he didn't think I needed to make then anymore, so I didn't for the next couple years.

Well, he then decided really missed getting one!

I am back at them again.

We didn't receive baskets, but did always get a new 'dressy' outfit to wear to worship on Easter Sunday.  Grandparents treated us to a new toy, and there was always a family dinner that concluded with loads of my mother's homemade cookies and fudge.  Wonderful memories!

I did it every year until they got too old. Easter is huge in my family.

I send an Easter box to the Grandkids and decorate the house. Just a real fun time of year.

I received an Easter Basket every year as a child and passed on the tradition with my son.  Now I do a combined basket for him and his sweet wife and a separate basket for my Granddaughter.  This will be her second Easter and next year she will be a "big" sister.  Love this Grandmother party I am invited to every day!!

I still make Easter baskets for my kids who are now in their 30's. I have the same baskets I bought for their first Easter. I fill them up and wrap in bunny cellophane. I usually get them various Easter candies and add 2 boxes of their favorite Girl Scout cookies. They also get peanut butter filled pretzels, fruit roll ups, gum etc. I really enjoy doing it Wish I had a picture I could share of the finished product.

My son is in his mid thirties and I also still do the Christmas stocking.  This past year I put fruit roll ups in there since he ate boxes of them growing up.  The first and only year I did not put a M&M Candy Cane in his stocking he thought I was mad at him.  I said no your 19 years old now.  It did not matter to him so his whole family gets one now too.  I see me doing this until he in retirement years.  Would not have it any other way.  The Girl Scout cookies is a great ideal.  Thanks.
