I know it's a little early, but I'm starting to pick up stuff for Joey and Emma's easter baskets.

I just ordered Emma 3 rattle toy things from Amazon for her basket.
Trying to decide what else to put in it.

Anyone else?

[amylou378]

No and I need to. Around here we also buy gifts for close family, so I need to buy for our neices and DH 2 godchildren.

[Niamh ૐ]

Not early for us... our holiday, Ostara is on March 20th. I forgot to tell DH to get egg painting stuff at the store today! :-/

[twoboys]

I did get william a lovely soft toy at michaels the other day!!! , jacks not into softoys, the easter bunny will bring him a transformer of some kind, or bakugun, or ds game!!

[Moontan]

yep. i bought him a new tummy time mat. a four books. and a pair of sandles.

DH said it was silly to make him an easter basket, because he's "so young, and wont even know you bought him anything"...but its his first easter! and he needed the sandles for spring time and the tummy mat, anyway. this was just a good excuse to get it for him.

and i'm trying to build his book collection, so, i'll buy him books for every occassion. (partly because i want him to love to read....and partly because my mom bought him some awesome book ends that go with the theme of his room. i want a good collection, so i can use them! lol)

[mommy2angels]

I got the clothes, and have to hard boil eggs for DD to color. I will be doing a basket for DD but for DS i will get a new blankie (his fave thing right now)
DS got a new sweater vest/collard shirt/and slacks ($5!!!)
DD got a pretty new dress and sweater from MIL grandma (she ALWAYS does the dress for easter mass)

[amydawn]

Yeap we found out Katelyn loves Elmo (I have an old tickle me elmo doll and she loves it). I was going to get her a Hello Kitty basket at target; however I found an elmo basket and showed it to her and she started getting all excited and smiling big time. So I came home with an Elmo basket and an Elmo movie

i havent yet but i need to.. in our families the easter bunny brings a basket and a gift... last year both the kids got new bikes.. this year im doing two baskets each.. one with the candy, small stuff, (slinki, army men... $ store stuff)... and other ones will be filled with all sorts of fun summer stuff... chaulk, new jump ropes, squirt guns, new toys for their sand/water table and a kids pool is their big gift...

plusthe coloring of the eggs and all that jazz...

oohh and lil man matheu will be getting his play gym and some summer clothes... i wish he would be old enough this summer for one of those lil rings for the water... but oohh well.. im so geeked for warm weather you have no idea!

[Koti]

I've got him a shirt, 3 TY beanies and am looking for 1 more, the baby keys that they teeth on, and those ring thingies so far. I'm mostly just doing it for memories. His first Easter. I have to work that day.

[Amber76]

I have both girls dresses but that is about it. I need to get to work on Easter baskets.

Ditto for me. I picked up stuff last weekend. We will miss being able to do a lot because we are going to be out of town this weekend.
But I got the cutest little bunny ear hat from Target, that I want to do naked baby pictures in.

[Aynber]

Not yet. We were looking in CVS for a plush toy, but we didn't find anything that hubby liked.

I never really considered doing anything for Easter for Major but I suppose I should. If nothing else, just to take pictures.

Glad I'm not alone!

I just bought emma a few wooden Haba toys this morning.

Her basket is just about done.
I think I will pick up an outfit, a stuff animal and maybe a pack of pacis.


Need to start on Joey's now.
I usually get him spring time stuff --- chalk, bubbles.
Maybe some bubble bath, a new tooth brush. A book.

Exactly!!

I think emma's basket is big enough that I can put her *in* it to take some pics.

[Carrie429]

I started Easter shopping a little bit ago! I ordered Parker's basket and bough a few things to fill both boys' baskets with - some little toys and such for Caden, a couple outfits for Parker - I need to get some more though and I want to do a little Easter egg hunt around the house/yard for Caden this year.

And I do have pics of Caden as a baby in his Easter Basket! Not sure if we'll stick Parker in his lol.

[waxzon]

I got Emmerson her easter dress, and lil sweater the other day, but its so hard finding lil sandals to fit her, so she might just be shoeless, and I got her some lil rattles that velcro around her wrists for her basket, but nothing else yet, I was thinking maybe a book or two?

[.H.e.a.t.h.e.r.]

I'm getting Marissa the Princess & The Frog, Barbie Mermaid Tale, some sidewalk chalk shaped like bunnies/eggs and some candy


Mattea will probably get a bumbo & some lil toys and I've already gotten her a baltic amber teething necklace.

[doodoosmom]

Not yet, but I have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting them..I just haven't had the time to actually go out & get it all yet.

[RachelC]

When I was at Target the other day, I picked up Easter Webkinz for Leah & Logan, Easter Pez dispensers and a little ice cream cone shaped container of Jelly Belly jellybeans for them. I still need to get baskets for the three of them, and more little odds and ends. I haven't decided what I'm going to do for Laila yet. I also bought a couple of the egg decorating kits. Other then that, we really don't do much.

If I didn't have the older boys, I wouldn't do a basket for Chase!

But, I got Nathan & Brady's stuff today----they each are getting sidewalk chalk, a bubble gun, some candy, a "paint your own refrigerator magnet" set and a movie---Planet 51 for Nathan, Astro Boy for Brady.

I have NO idea what to get for Chase's basket. I didn't see any toys at Target that I liked.
