STMs-Easter Baskets

[veggiemo]

Hey ladies! I just realized an hour ago that Easter is THIS Sunday. Crap. I need to get together an Easter basket for DS. Please share your basket contents here so I can have some inspiration!

Off the top of my head ideas:
Bubbles
Matchbox Cars
Colorful Pens
Gummy Worms

DD will get a little bit of chocolate and then I'm planning some non sugary things:

Special character band aids
Sidewalk chalk
Bubbles
Some art paper
New paint brushes
Maybe a book

I raided the dollar spot at target. Coloring books, stickers, bubbles, socks... Ended up with a huge haul

DS is getting:
a Superman t-shirt so he can stop asking to wear his long sleeved Superman shirt.
Some jellybeans (contained in Easter eggs to be rationed out)
A thermal cars cup
Bathtub crayons

Oh... And maybe a pair of pjs...if I have time to grab them.

DS is getting a Reeses PB egg and a cadbury creme egg. No basket. DH and I also will be getting these 2 items.

I'm not into giving presents for all holidays. (here's looking at you Valentine's Day). Plus he just had a birthday.

I can't say what my ILs will do. I know there's an egg hunt planned.

OMG this makes me so excited for Nayvee's first Easter next year! I've already purchased a little girls diamond earring/necklace set for her to put in her easter basket. What can I say? I love beautiful things and I can't wait to spoil my little girl.

At first I thought you were funny...now it's just sad.  Stop trying so hard.

I'm a FTM but my sister and I always loved outdoor toys (skipping ropes, jacks, etc.), colouring books and our favourites were the easter stuffed animals. We LOVED those.

I'm not a troll!!! Don't be a hater.

We are going VERY simple. This is the first year that ds will know enough to appreciate/understand an Easter basket, so we wanna set ourselves up for an easy ride from now on. Lol dh and I are on staff at a church so easter is crazy enough for us without having to make it a second Christmas for our kids.

So his easter basket will contain bubbles, eggs with fruit snacks in them, chalk and stickers. Easy peezy.

My newphews and nieces are getting all chocolate from me because my sisters are strict on the chocolate intake so it's my job as favorite aunty to corrupt them.

We're going to my ILs and then my parents from tomorrow-Sunday...I figured he'll get enough there haha. We did decorate eggs this year though, which totally took me back These are great ideas for future little baskets though!

[ladysif]

I have a couple puzzles because I realized all of his are way too easy and I'm putting them away, and one small toy. A mini Cadbury egg. We'll do an egg hunt with cheerios or the little Annie's bunnies in the eggs.

Originally he was just getting 2 books (Pete the Cat's Easter and Dayenu- a Passover book) with candy.

But we've been talking about going camping in the backyard with our tent and he doesn't have sleeping bag, so we decided to get him a sleeping bag and call it part of his "Easter Basket." And then a new pair of sunglasses since he broke his.

I'm taking advantage of the fact that DS has no idea who the Easter bunny is yet ( he just turned 2) so we are being lazy this weekend and not doing an Easter basket.
