So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

those without kids... Do you guys give Easter baskets to each other (if you celebrate it)?

We do.

I got him some Reese's PB eggs, a big Reese's bunny and a CD - I plan on putting them in his basket.

We're also coloring eggs and hiding them on each other - he's gonna hide 6 in our upstairs, I'm gonna hide 6 on our middle floor.

What do you guys do to celebrate?

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I had all intentions of getting him a basket and we were going to color eggs.

But now we are going to NC to visit my sister for Easter so we are still coloring and hiding eggs but we will be with my 4 year old and 1 year old neices so it is really for them.

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I will be making him a basket and putting some stuff I like in it as well haha. My mother has always made me a basket even up to last year. She might even make one again for me this year...she is all sad I am not home anymore

but DH thinks I am a tool for doing so. I told him sorry your parents made you buy your own xmas presents and you never really celebrated easter or thanksgiving- NOT MY PROBLEM. haha plus he is benefiting from it he is getting a basket with candy I am sharing with him lol

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I was to make DH a basket but I dont know what to put in it lol and no he doesn't make me one

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

yep!!!! I still love easter baskets and candy!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

Yes...we fill them with candy and something small we want. Last year Joe got guitar picks and a PS2 game and I got a book I really wanted and he took me to brunch. Gus(our dog) and Daisy(our cat) also have their own baskets and get small treats as well

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

We never did the easter basket thing b/c then we will have to eat all the candy and thats not good.

My mom makes a family basket and we just snack from that.

We color eggs w/ my family though.

If it werent for diets, we would probably make baskets too,

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I give something to DH b/c he is a CANDY addict!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I want to do egg but I don't think we are this year. WE are doing baskets ... well I'm getting him a basket but idk if he's getting me one lol I bought extra candy just in case

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

we used to do baskets every year but now we just color eggs and i hide the eggs for my mom when she comes over easter morning. i made her search for them over my apartment

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

DH gets one, but I don't.

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

We really dont. I never really celebrated Easter that way - my parents always presented it as a religious holiday and we never even knew about the Easter bunny! but we did color eggs!

For a few years DH got me baskets from the store but that just faded out . . .

I think that is so cute though!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

i was thinking of doing that.. but decided to just wait unil we have kids to start that and coloring eggs... but i did decorate!!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

That's an awesome idea - I think I'm going to make us baskets!! Just because we don't have children doesn't mean the Bunny can't visit!!!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

We will be in Vegas so I don't think so...but in the past we have

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I want to but, DH and I are both on WW so what could I put in it?

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I give him PB Cups eggs since he loves them. My mom on the other hand does the baskets for us! She still hides them too

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

we did when we first moved in together - and it ended up being like christmas we've toned things down recently - we just color eggs and thats about it....we aren't religious at all so easter really has no meaning for us and we dont have kids so there is no easter bunny nonsense so its kind of a non-holiday for us now....this year we have to make baskets for our nephew and my new niece so we probably wont get eachother anything this year (since our nephew has been born we make him a basket and don't really exchange with eachother - rather save money)

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

I think in the past we've given each other things ... we've been together for 7 years so I can't remember exactly! We haven't the past few years ... not sure why except that he's not religious and has started going away on a four-wheeling weekend every easter (why easter I do not know) -- so i go to my parents' house for dinner in the afternoon ... i may buy him a few small things this year though.

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

Thats really cute.

Last easter I was so involved with cooking for his family, I only got him some Reeses Peanut Butter eggs b/c he loves those.

This year just a card b/c DH is on a DIET!!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

We do stockings at Christmas for each other but we've never done baskets. That's a great idea!

Re: So I guess we're tools - Easter baskets..

We will color the eggs. We don't do the baskets but we do stock up on the reeses peanut butter eggs, peeps and other candy. My mom still makes me a basket but I don't know if she will this year because she is going through a lot with my grandma and everything.
