I mean, when you were growing up, did you get a fluffy 20 inch stuffed bunny in your basket. One had a basket ball in it!
These baskets are going for ten to twenty bucks.
I remember the small colorful wicker basket with plastic grass, ninety percent jelly beans, a few chunky white filled eggs, a real hard boiled egg, one or two fabulous chocolate cream filled eggs, maybe a Peep, rarely, I 'm saying very rarely a chocolate 3 inch bunny.
What has happened here?
Every holiday is overwhelmed with junk. Driving into town I see actual plastic eggs hanging off a deciduous tree. Please, have mercy.
Time for us to down size and get back to the Basic Basket. No toys, no electronics. Just good old fashioned candy, of manageable size.
How can we keep up with the Jones if the Jones are constantly buying all the biggest baskets for kids who have so much crap, anyways? Continually upping the gifting is going to bite in the long haul.
Just saying.
