I like to get candy and sometimes art supplies. And who doesnt want a basket filled with a chocolate bunny, peeps and some jelly beans . Nowadays it seems like candy isnt enough. Some people are swapping out the suites for more extravagant gifts like expensive gifts. Theyre making it like christmas, theyre putting electronics, in there, clothing in there, which is fine if thats what they want to do, however im more old school and i still think if they are he going to giv basket it should have chocolate and peeps and you dop have to go all out. Mommy blogger says if parents want to go all out for easter so be it but the people really benefiting from the over the top baskets are the retailers. They know that the parents are the ones that are buying and purchasing the gifts lets make it a little more ahh moments. I remember the days when i used to receive the basket. And what did you get in the basket. A the look of hard boiled eggs which i dont think you do any more. You have fun painting them. Some candy, some beeps, some chocolates, but it was pretty i am s many. We hear these baskets, parents are putting them online and my basket is better than that basket. It should be about the holiday, not who has the biggest, better, most awesome expensive basket. It you couldnt spoil the kids too much. Keep it simple. Theres this trend that people are filing the easter baskets with electronics, clothing, what do you think about that. I think its gotten too big, then. Its all like christmas. Its all about the hunt, the brunch easter is the holiday. We go to church in the morning. Easter is about chris. Its not about things you get. I think its kind of stupid. I dont think easter is the right time to do that. I think that birthdays or christmas is beater. Tray badge has been writing about christmas for several years. I see this change pop up two to three years ago where parents were leaning against candy. Giving children candy on a holiday wont hurt them. Im jes that for most a, didnt get any gifts.
