I am allergic to a preservative that is in most Easter eggs, so we always got normal chocolate (small Cadbury bar) and then we got some kind of gift. Books, pj's etc. some years I'd get a small item of jewelry. I don't agree with going ott either chocolate or gift wise, but I can understand why people are substituting...

Today DD got 20+ mini eggs, a hungry egg and two Easter coloring books. That was just from grandparents and one aunt (my bro and I agreed not to get anything for kids). Once the bunny visits and her godfather she will have about double that. Kids don't need all that crap (I'm upset at the older generation for buying so much when we asked them not to). Honestly, I think it's a waste of money. I'd prefer she got clothes or something... It's way too commercial...
