Thread: At what age do you stop doing Easter Baskets?

guess some time around college for me. I got a Easter box one time in school. Will never forget it. Mom got me one of those big cookies and the said the icening would break off in shipping so she bought puffy easter bunny stickers w/ googly eyes. I opened the box to see a bunch of bunny's w/ googly eyes wabbling around and straight pins through their body to attach them to the cookie.

Once got a "basket" from my aunt that was a tera cotta chip/dip bowl w/ stuff in it.

I think the basket and the fillings just change as you get older.

Mom always did one for Daddy. He loved candy and she always fixed him a cute one every year into their 70s.

My girls are 17 and 13 and every Easter they look forward our Easter surprize hunt. What I do is leave post-its all around the house with clues on where to search for next to get their Easter surprise. They get such a kick out of this. Sometimes the post-its will be stuck on my husband's back or inside the fridge. After about 20 post-its they find their surprise. It used to be baskets, but since they get baskets from both grandparents, my ex and their uncle, dh and I get them gift cards to Borders (their favorite store) and put it in a Easter bunny ornament that opens up (much easier to hide than baskets).

Oh, and we still do the Easter egg hunt, too. One year I did one for the adults only and put things like refridgerator magnets, flower seeds, $5 bills, costume jewlery and one egg had Easter panties in it. That was the best year, especially since a man found that egg. All the adults loved it!

you are never to old to get an easter basket.

In my case, I have 3 nieces who are born very close together in March and April and therefore always around Easter. I do one for them and just put their birthday items in it.

But unlike a lot of other people, I still put in "children" toys, ie jacks, water guns, coloring books, crayons, and of course candy. The little kids think its a riot they get a basket and a lot of times get jealous of the toys the older ones get.

Dang I want some of you gals to be my Mommy! lol There were 8 of us growing up and we never got Easter baskets. We always got a coconut egg or a PB egg. My girls are 8 & 4 and of course the Easter Bunny does the whole basket thing and will probably continue as long as possible.

My dd just turned 30 I still get her a large homemade peanut butter egg and usually a summer outfit. My 16 year old still gets a basket usually full of stuff he needs shorts new hat etc. they both would throw a fit if I didn't get them this especially my dd she even orders her own eggs and calls me to tell me how much it was lol.

You are suppose to stop??? My grown children still expect them.

My aunts are 81 and 91. They get Easter Baskets from me and hubby. They like them too and expect them.

While I don't make a basket for Randy, he does get those nasty looking Cadbury Eggs from me and hubby.
