[QUOTE="Andy, post: 262751, member: 5096"] I love making up baskets. This year 18 yr old Diva will get a basket with prepainted finger nails, a hand held massager, a bunny holding chocolate, and a bag of jelly beans. 12 yr old difficult child will get a basket (metal pail with sports on it) with two small Lego sets (police men), a bunny holding chocolate, and a bag of jelly beans. (I suppose I better stop with the stuffed animals for difficult child now? Boys are not that into stuffed animals by 12 yrs are they?) I like the challenge of making things similar yet age appropriate for each of them. I don't give everything that screams Easter but figure the candy on the side in a basket of grass will set the stage for the holiday. We just got back from the cities so looks like colored eggs are out this year. I will try to get their baskets on their beds while they are sleeping. If Diva goes out tonight, I will put it in her bed for her to find when she comes home. So, just like Valentines Day, each kid will always receive something (not much, but something) and I also like longer lasting gifts. I am very fortunate in that both kids have always liked what I got them. Easier to give to thankful kids. Once they start grumbling about not getting what they wanted, then I will stop getting them anything all together. [/QUOTE]
