My daughter can drive a car and merge onto the highway. My son is the only person in our house who can navigate the many remote controllers to operate the television. But the Easter Bunny still visits our house. In fact, if I can be so bold, I will be a Grandma and I will make sure the Easter Bunny finds them.
Don’t get me wrong, we do include sweet treats. But I feel like they have access to so much candy at school and when hanging out with friends. It’s incredibly frustrating, to be honest. I go through so much trouble to pack a healthy lunch but then I’ll often find candy wrappers in their lunch bags. It’s fine. Life is about balance, but I don’t want to overload them with candy on Easter too.
I like to make sure their baskets have some goodies they will enjoy for more than one day. To be clear, they don’t make an “Easter list” like they do for Christmas. These are all curated by the, ahem… the Easter Bunny.
This is the headband every TikToker is wearing when they are doing their skincare routine tutorials. I’ll admit, at first, I thought it looked like one of those neck pillows you wear on an airplane.
We have the opposite of whatever a perfectly curated lawn is so since my kids were babies I would give them a packet of seeds every Spring. They’ve learned the best spots with the most sun and they’ve scattered packets like these for years. It’s fun to see flowers shoot up (except for the year my son scattered the seeds mostly on a pile of rocks).
Okay, okay. This one is selfish. This is our game! We created Family Faceoff and it’s like charades, a scavenger hunt, and karaoke night had a baby. The box happens to be perfect size for an Easter basket.
My kids are into sports, these are the slides so many kids (including my own) wear before and after they are on the court. Ooofos are THE MOST comfortable shoes. Penn bought a pair for himself.
I actually got this crossbody bag for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it. It’s an easy way to hold her phone and keys. It’s small so it would sit nicely in an Easter basket.
We have a water bottle issue in our house. The “issue” is my kids (and husband) seem to leave them everywhere. We now only buy water bottles as gifts. If they need new ones in between they have to use their own money. It’s been a huge incentive for them to not lose them!
Are we the only adults that end up stealing our kid’s fidget toys? It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me. This one is going in the baskets but I should really just get one for myself.
