What do you get kids for Easter?

[Teeki]

Lol, I'm a bit of all of you! Eggs are cheaper, and to us they're kind of the point of Easter. Well not the point, but they have meaning - more than a Bratz dollars anyway! If it was SIL that had said "you know what, the kids are getting loads of chocolate this year and we'd prefer they didn't overload, I'd respect her wishes, they're her kids. But this has just come across as wrong to me.

It's good to read similar responses

The other thing I have heard a lot of people buy is a pair of winter pjs.

I bought DD some wooden egg toys when she was pre-chocolate. Why do you have to buy someone else's kid something for Easter? Isn't that their parents job?

Yeah, I would only do eggs.

Or the winter PJ thing because I'm often getting new winter ones around this time anyway and I can make that for easter and get them less chocolate instead, LOL.

Eggs or if specifically requested by the parent of thE child not to buy eggs then a small gift such as a book.

Oh yeah, a book is a good idea too. Forgot about that, I have given my girls Easter story or activity books too.

As above. We exchange eggs with our nieces and nephews but there have been a couple of years where it has all seemed too much and we vow the following year to do something a bit different - eg homemade cookies etc but never get round to it!!

My SIL's MIL gives the grandchildren winter pj's every easter instead of chocolate.
