Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday! Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life, I participate in Aloha Friday each Friday!
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
Do you get Easter baskets in your home? If so, what goodies do you fill them with?
The boys will be getting Easter baskets. I usually put a few little toys, stickers, coloring books, plastic eggs with goldfish, and some candy (chocolate included of course).
We always got baskets for our daughters when they were younger. We filled them with eggs, candy, books and McDonalds’ gift cert. We do the same for the grandkids now!
Yes, we are traditional and stick with candy. My AF: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/aloha-friday-2-april.html
My kids are a big too old for that now.
Have a great weekend!

Never have done them since we are Jewish. Made one for a charity and it was a lot of fun.
This year, I got them some Reese’s & Hershey Kisses. My daughter just informed me this morning that she can’t live without some Peeps – so I guess I have to get some of those. & I got my son a book he wanted & my daughter wanted a Zhu Zhu pet. so I got her that too.
No we do not….we do easter egg hunts but not the baskets. I remember getting baskets as a little girl and how fun they were though, so maybe I should do them for my kids! LOL
Happy Easter!!
My girls are getting way too much candy this year–not sure what I was thinking. They also will get a book, and a small toy.
We do for the kids. Small stuffed animals, books, bubbles, a small amount of chocolate doled out of course. Just fun things.
YES! The Easter Bunny Visit our House 🙂 But it is filled with all different kinds of candy and a few toys!
@ Harriet – what? you’re never too old! 🙂 I’m 30 and my mom still makes a basket for me, one for my husband and mails one off to my brother!
My daughter is getting the Target $1Spot Special – sidewalk chalk, board books, socks, playdough, bubble wand, watering can. We don’t give her much candy so she’ll get a few Hershey Kisses thrown in. I also bought some graham crackers and fruit snacks to fill in where candy might normally go. The whole thing probably cost me $10.
I quit having Easter goodies at home a couple of years ago.
I’ve gained a bit of weight and do not need the calories.
I used to have an Easter tradition where I made up a basket every year & gave it
to someone special.
I might start that again next year.
Happy Easter!!
My two year olds have gold fish. My husband is getting a chocolate bunny and chocolate carrots.
Yes, we make Easter baskets. We usually put books, toys, stickers, and lots of candy! Happy Easter!
Am here for Aloha Friday!
Nope, I don’t have any Easter basket ever since. I was just about 3 years here in US of A and Easter basket in the Phils is not well-known but I would love to make some in a year to come. I would also like to give my niece an Easter bunny basket tomorrow.. 🙂 Happy Easter!
My Aloha Friday
I buy novelty containers rather than baskets…this year’s looked like soccer balls. I fill them with all the candy I like because I will be cruising the baskets as often as I can get away with it. My favorites include:
Containers of cotton candy (yum!)
Peeps in chocolate mousse and regular bright yellow
Jawbreaker eggs
bubblegum eggs
bunny lollipops -cherry flavor
marshmallow/chocolate eggs
Reese’s peanut butter eggs
Cadbury maple/butter pecan/nougat/fruit eggs
chocolate bunnies (one pair of ears mysteriously disappeared.)
Bunny stamps
bunny trucks
bunny pencils
jelly beans
candy corn
money….. so they can buy candy they like
.I’m sure I forgot something on the list…I get all glassy-eyed when I hit the Easter candy aisle and I simply go buy-buy each time I salivate. Candy for two little apple eaters cost me almost $40 this year. I gave the kids almost all of it.
we get a little bit of candy, coloring books a bigger item like a ds game or a board game. Pez, go sticks, piggy banks, playing cards, and crackers and cheese along with fruit snacks are alway nice fillers
