Easter basket ideas

[mnosky1]

Any ideas? Anyone want to start a list going? I looked at the stocking stuffer list but wasn't inspired plus I have more room in my kids large baskets.

7.5 year old girl (or boy)

1.Pocket doodle book - she has the big "DO you doodle book and loves it so I thought this would be great for restaurants

2. Kanoodle - this was actaully a stocking stuffer - DD is not that into it but I like it and think kids that like brain teaser games would like it.

Rapunzel DVD (for both) - although won't be quite out in time

3 year old girl

2 barney DVDs from garage sale - she LOVES barney - only thing she'll watch (at least until Rapunzel DVD is out)

I think Tangled is being released March 29th so you will have it in time for Easter.

Yep, Tangled is coming out on the 29th. We are all :popc1: over here waiting. We never got to see it in the theater, so we've read the books (I think we have 4!!) watched the trailers, etc. Lula is in L:heartbeat:VE with Tangled. We pre-ordered at the Disney store, which I've never done before.

There is no way on earth we can wait a month to watch it. ;)

So for both baskets I have:
Chocolate Bunny (Hershey's Snapper was the only one with out a may contain peanuts warning on the label.)
Peeps (one gets yellow chicks, one gets pink bunnies)

For Lula:
I'm going to get her the Belle and Beast dolls. She's been asking for them since December. I had plans to give them to her as her reward for doing her scratch test at the allergist but she just wanted to go home.

I need ideas for Dolly. She's going to be 1, and have a birthday a couple of weeks before. I'm kind of at a loss. Any ideas?

mamamolly-- i always get pink bunnies and yellow chicks. i just can't resist- even if we don't eat them- they look SO cute. i have a friend from grad school who is a peeps FIEND so i usually send him home with the peeps after our easter party :)

for a one year old-- hair clips, new socks?, books (we're big on the books for all holidays-- maybe some beatrix potter? my child started liking the smaller books right around 1), set of tiny playsilks, wooden animal figures (i really like the holtziger, but never got that started SO $$$$, but we did get a nice set of figures from atoygarden.com), sunglasses...

I was thinking Tangled is April 29- that's right it is March! Well, that isn't going to work then for Easter - we won't be able to wait either. I have got to get DD3 off of watching urine clips before she gets into something bad!

Ummm...I'm guessing this is an autocorrect-type thing, but I can't figure out what "urine clips" really means!

So far I have:
Go Gos Crazy Bones
sunglasses
baseball hats

other things I may get:
golf balls
extra rockets for stomp rocket
new baseball mitt

always get chocolate bunny, peeps (this year I am getting the chocolate dipped peeps), cadbury mini eggs, and jelly beans. Cadbury cream eggs for DH. Oh, and the Lindt carrot pops.

I also got some prefilled eggs with Lemon Head chews and other junk they like for our egg hunt. The rest will have money and some trinkets (maybe go gos, silly band, whatever)

If you like to pocket doodles check out Usborne Doodle cards. My kiddos LOVE them and you can use them over and over.
