I still make one basket for my guys to share (son is 19 and husband).

When my kid was little it was mostly small toys and books, as Ididn't want him eating much candy, but now it is all candy. Very small basket, but they seem to enjoy it, and I have fun doing it. Sometimes I make the candy, sometimes I don't.

Yes, for the kids and mr henny. They get See's candies and a tiny stuffed animal that they can pass on to friend's children. Lately I have been adding little gift cards to Peets or Starbucks too. The kids are 45 and 27.

I stopped making Easter baskets when my children became teenagers.  They graduated to See's chocolate eggs and still want them in their 30's!

I love Easter baskets

My mother always made one for me, and when I got married, she would also make one for my husband.

DH and I have always made one for each other, and we still make one for our daughter, who makes one for each of us.

Not a lot of candy, but Sees for our girl.  It's mostly little gifts like stocking stuffers.  We get her make up and books mostly.  I love that part of the morning, passing around baskets

We always had Easter baskets growing up until we got married and moved out of our parents house. We each had our own wicker baskets that were brought out and filled -- I still have my basket.

Our DIL enjoys making our Grands their Easter baskets so there is no reason for me to make baskets.  When they were younger we gave them an Easter stuffed animals.  Now that they are older, I ask if there is something special they'd like for Easter.  They also get money in a card from us.

I've always bought their Easter outfits.

No.  The Easter baskets stopped here a long time ago.   For awhile I did chocolate bunnies for everyone, but my girls asked me to stop that---they do not like any other type of Easter candy.   I have also purchased peanut butter and coconut cream eggs for my family from a local church.

We always got a basket when we were kids and my ex and I also exchanged baskets. The last place I worked though had an Easter project to provide baskets for kids in need so everyone chipped in and or helped put the baskets together.  We had a list to start with similar to the Christmas tree angel list so we knew the age of the children and if they wanted a ball or doll or whatever.  I found making those baskets to be so much more gratifying than exchanging with spouse or nieces and nephews.   The floor of our headquarter lobby would be covered with dozens of baskets the day they were due to be delivered.  It was a site to see.

I'm 47 and up until 2 years ago when my aunt passed away, she always made up an Easter basket for my sister, my husband and me.  I loved it. We all did.
