Post your little Easter Basket goodies here. The older they get, the more challenging this is. I think my kids will be 30 & saying "um, why wouldn't we want an Easter basket??" @@ Is be lying if I said I wouldn't miss this, the stocking, little valentines gifts, etc. So, so far I have flip flops from Target. On sale 2/$6 this week. I think I'll go to Maxwell Street Market this weekend to see if the nail polish guy is there. I also ordered dd16 a make up bag from Etsy that is super cute. She's been asking for a larger bag for months, so that will surprise her. I also ordered Fannie May chocolates from a friend's DD's fundraiser. I CANNOT believe I paid for Fannie may. I'm pretty sure I got rid of eggs & baskets when we moved & I was never participating in holidays again. That was dumb, but I don't know that we'll have an egg hunt this year anyway. Ideas for older teens appreciated!

DS5 will get a Chipmunks movie DVD that I got cheap. I will get him a bit of candy too. DS10 will prob get a shirt and some candy. DS14 and DS16 I am not sure yet. Some candy and maybe a Dollar General gift card. They like to go to DG here in town and buy a pop sometimes.

Gift cards are a good idea. There's a new frozen yogurt shop in Homewood I could do. Good idea! Thank you!

Well I have purchased 864 eggs that I need to stuff for our church's Easter Egg hunt, so the boys will have their eggs stuffed with the extras (chocolate/stickers/erasers). I was thinking a book with a Lego minifigure (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0545624614) and that's about as far as I have gotten.

I got some candy at CVS, ordered a small Lego set from Amazon, and I need to look at some arts and crafts things I have stockpiled. Also, need to get some dollar bills for the eggs.

Our goal is to have 40,000 eggs. Anyone can come - I think last year we had a couple thousand kids? link

I haven't even thought about easter baskets yet. For dragonfly how about some fun flavored coffee? Car wash gift cards? New beach towels or sunglasses to go with the flip flops?

I stocked my kids baskets a few years ago with jars of PB and Co. Peanut butter. I splurged for once and got them each their favorite flavors!
the level of my gifts changed each year with my enthusiasm level lol lately i get a nice chocolate bunny and then one gift card so dd gets red mango, ds gets jimmy johns or nonas, older boys get a restaurant maybe stuff some eggs with $1 lottery cards?

I've never heard of PB & Co peanut butter, but it sounds fun! I'll look.
Those are good ideas too!
