Is it too soon too discuss Easter Basket Fillers?
Non-candy?
I keep seeing things but then I dont write them down and now I cant remember what I saw!!
Costco has an Angry Birds hooded towel my son would love for the beach and they also have cool water shooters. He is also getting into doing leggo sets
Oh and I want to get my nieces and nephews & my kids the Slushy Cups from TV, they will all go nuts!
My mom is doing bathing suits and rash guards with hats
Aside from that I cant remember what store I was in, when I thought "oh I want to get that for their baskets" grrr!
I used to get jelly beans and chocolate bunny, damn my kids have it good
Re: Is it too soon too discuss Easter Basket Fillers?
As far as I'm concerned, it's Lent - not too early.
My kids usually get a book and a couple of toys - cars, trains, stickers, legos, etc. I also throw in a few necessities like chapstick, toothbrush, snacks, etc.
*always remembering Annaleigh Lucy*
I get them 1 or 2 things totally under $20 and they get candy which we all eat. We dont "do" Easter up in a big way really.
Actually just realized Ryan WILL be getting a Mongoose bike he wants since its his b day. He is 8 OUCH!
WHAT?!?!?!? I know you keep saying your kids are older but man. Time flies way too quickly!!
I didnt used to either, but with a Dec. Birthday my daughter doesnt get any fun outside stuff at X-mas or for her birthday so I try to get stuff like that for her for Easter and from there is snow balls. Also we have 2 sets of grandparents and aunts and uncles who get them stuff so if I dont give some non-candy ideas my brother would show up with a 20 lb chocolate bunny. I would rather have some barnes and noble gift cards

Not too soon! It's all over the stores and better to buy early so you get your pick. I like to get them buckets with shovels as their "baskets" and fill them up. This year, they will get chocolate/candy, bubbles and a small toy (my son will get one of those $5 lego bags, and my daughter probably something Dora related).
we pretty much do small baskets with candy. But I think I'll make these since M loses interest in candy and S is young. http://alittleofthis---alittleofthat.blogspot.com/2011/04/easy-easter-snack-idea.html
In the past we hid eggs with toys instead of with Candy (whatever pre-made ones I find: Little People, playdoh, etc).
