Disclosure: This post isn't directed toward anyone in particular, and I mean no offense.
On this message board and a couple of others I frequent, I've been seeing the question being asked regarding what to put in Easter baskets. I've been a little surprised to see some of the items on people's lists, because they are items that I personally would consider more in the price range of a birthday gift, Christmas gift, etc. (Just a few examples of items I've seen mentioned: video games, DVD's, a "few" gift cards of $5 to $10 each, clothing, bicycles, etc.)
I guess our family isn't the norm, because we've never done expensive Easter baskets. I spend approximately $15-$20 each for my college age son, and my toddler age daughter. DS is getting beef jerky and Slim Jims (his favorites), a chocolate bunny, and a few candy bars. DD is a toddler, so I don't want her having a bunch of candy. She is getting a small stuffed bunny, an Elmo book, sidewalk chalk and sunglasses from the dollar store, a small chocolate bunny, a small pack of lollipops, and I bought M&M's and jelly beans to put inside plastic eggs.
How about you? Do you do expensive Easter baskets for your kids, or do you keep it more low key like my family does?
