What are you getting your LO for Easter

[Princess Fiona]

Well Lucy is 16 months and doesn't really eat chocolate unless i'm using it as a bribe so i'm not bothering getting her a chocolate egg for Easter, PLUS 5 friends have already told me they've gotten her an egg and thats without my Nan, Mum, other friends (possibly another 4) my Sister and my Dad getting her eggs too :shock:

Just looking for inspiration! She doesn't really need any clothes but i was thinking about a new toy, possibly spending around £15.

[Adelelee]

Nothing made of :choc: thats for sure, cos mummy will only end up eating it :laff: :laff: :laff: Probably just new clothes and that will be it, does that make me a bad mummy :oops: :oops:

[noo noo]

Iona's Getting Snoopy The Easter Beagle DVD and an Easter Bonnet and Kyle's getting Dora The Explorer Easter Egg Hunt DVD and Bunny Ears. :happyeaster: :chick: :easteregg: :bunny:

[Princess Fiona]

No it doesnt make you a bad Mummy at all!

TBH i don't think i'll ever bother buying her an egg at easter, she'll get plenty off everyone else and tbh they're bloody expensive!!

I've got 11 children to buy eggs for and i've been thinking of getting them all something other than an egg but their ages range from 3 to 14 so its a bit difficult, it would mean i'd have to THINK about every individual present rather than just buy them all the same, as opposed to going somewhere and buying 11 chocolate eggs!!

I still get eggs from my Nan and my Dad, and DH usually buys me one to so thats 3 for ME to eat already, then i'll just HAVE to start on Lu's! I'm going to have to make sure i tell people she prefers galaxy chocolate to cadburys! :wik:

[*Fallen Angel*]

Nothing from us, she doesn't need anything atm. Nasty mummy that I am!

Clothes from grandparents I think.

11 Kids :shock: :shock: :shock: OMG must cost you a fortune!!!!! DH and I dont buy each other one, though this year I may talk him into it as I seriously want :choc: :choc: all the time right now!!

As a child I used to get tons of easter eggs but my parents always just bought me new clothes

[racqy-rooster]

Well I have bought Ellis The Little People Discovery Village and he has 2 Easter Eggs, he was only having 1 but I miss counted when I bought them on Saturday.

Mum asked me what I wanted for him and I said clothes cos they cost a fortune, and I will only end up eating his eggs for him :no:

[Lois Lane]

Paige has got the Tigger Movie DVD so DH can load it to his portable video gadget thing for her to watch on the plane to the US. My folks got her the Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh on DVD for the same reason.

I will probably allow her one egg from her easter egg hunt on Monday!

[dora the ex...]

we got girls a freeview box from asda earlier also an egg and £10 of us off nanna they getting £13 each my dad an egg each other grandparents clothes.. :shock:
they get more than i used to easter used to be eggs and thats it..

[tekkencat]

we're looking at getting dd a digital camera (not an expecnsive one - ive seen one for about £20 which will do her - little c is tooooooo ikkle for anything (omg am i being mean???? he'll only be 6weeks old) and we are working on something for dss but not too sure yet

I think we'll be getting Elise a new set of Baby Einstein DVDs from eBay. When I go to the Chessington meet I can finally give Chelseaharvey hers back (poor Alfie) :doh: and although we copied them all from her, they don't seem to work on our new swish DVD player :roll: She's got £20 from her birthday that we've yet to do anything with, so given that they're about £45, probably that. She's already got 3 eggs, and never usually has chocolate, so I don't fancy getting her any more! (As it is, OH will probably eat most of what she's got as well as his own :roll: )

[RedTiger]

Ryan is rather fond of Easter Eggs :shock: Have to keep them out of his reach otherwise he helps himself, which just isn't on as Mummy was expecting to be eating his this year :choc:

I was thinking of getting my 2 a DVD each but might just buy them as egg coz they're cheaper :laff: Actually I'll maybe take them somewhere for the day rather than buy them something - they both have loads of toys & DVDs already and its Ryans birthday in a few weeks. There isn't really anything they need atm.

[Cherrypie]

I have them each an Easter egg - but tbh the eggs are small, but they have gifts with them IYSWIM. I bought them ages ago - Connor's has a 'Guess Who' game with it. I can't remember what Eilis's has - bought them about 2 months ago!!

[Littlejojo]

i have got mia a chocolate buttons egg, she has already a Cadbury's Caramel, MrlJJ and i ate the caramel, and there is a 1/3rd of the egg left, and we have i guess 1/3rd and Mia the other. We got it 2 weeks ago from my dad's cousin

My mum has bought Mia some clothes and will probablly get her a little egg or something.

[shamu]

Err, nothing
He gets to spend 4 days with me and DH though :D
Don't see any need for chocolate (for him I mean - bring it on for me :choc: :ellie: :D) and as we don't celebrate Easter I wouldn't buy him a toy/clothes instead....
He gets enough all year round as it is :lol:

[IncyWincySpider]

Hadn't even considered getting Easter pressies... think our children will think of us as very stingy parents!

[Jamtart]

I never buy Kenidee a big egg, she's not a big fan of chocolate so I am getting her a Bratz Genie and a Bratz Genie egg which is a small egg with a handbag in.

I will buy my neice something other than an egg and my sister will buy Kenidee something other than an egg too!

[August Girl]

Dust :D

I don't know really :chick:

[RedTiger]

Dust :D

ooooooh yes, I have plenty of that I could give them :wik:

[Angel]

No chocolate as he's already got one plus another 2 that I know are heading his way !

We're going to see Fireman Sam at the theatre tomorrow so he'll think all his Christmasses have come at once anyway !

[~Twiggy~]

Not chocolate for sure.
Prolly a cuddly Easter bunny or something to adorn his bedroom.

[Princess Fiona]

PMSL at the DUST AG!!

High in fat, low in fat, DUST!! You can have as much DUST as you like :clap: :clap:

Yes Adelelee 11 eggs :shock: I wish these people didn't all buy for Lucy (same as Xmas) but they DO so it means we have to buy for their kids and they all have more than 1 :roll: DH's best friend has 3 kids, other friends have 3, other friends have 2 then there is My little Bro who is 4, and my Sis who is 6 and my friends little boy so that makes 11 :doh:

[Princess Fiona]

Well i HAD decided to buy Lu one of those talking PLAYSKOOL vacuums i'd seen in Tesco, but i've just been and lucky me, they've sold out :roll:

Anyway, decided to take Lu to Toys R Us to see if i could spy a bargain and i did, and she loves it.

This is what i got for her!!

[She Devil]

we are taking the Bethany and Jonah (DH's son) to the circus tomorrow night.

im not sure what we are getting jack

[Hello Kitty]

I got her a little doggie egg from Tesco, it has milky bar in it and afterwards is a wobbly doggie money box but could just be a toy IYSWIM. I imagine that me and DH will probably eat most of her choc as she doesn't eat that much, she does like it though. I am going to get her a Balamory DVD as she :heartlipstick: it!
:easteregg: :happyeaster:

[Annie Goolahey]

Nothing.
When did Easter become a time for presents? (not being argumentative- but we never got any as kids- just wondering if it is an English thing)

[Pancake01]

I went shopping today and got Maisie some new clothes. So that will count as her Easter present.

We are thinking of doing an Easter egg hunt whilst we are on holiday in Pembrokeshire. Do supermarkets sell very cheap hollow small eggs? I don't want to do it with creme eggs because they make me feel :sick: .

[Princess Fiona]

It isn't s time for presents Lola but if you read my original post you will see why i decided to buy her a little something instead of a chocolate egg!!

[Micah]

Nothing.

umm I've never heard of presents at easter either :huh: (I'm english btw Lola).

I don't even buy an egg, and I wouldn't expect to receive one (although I would be eggstremely grateful if one did appear (see what I did there ;) ).

DH did ask me if I wanted anything, but that's a legacy from his ex-wife who expects a present for putting her shirt on the right way round- he always asks if I want anything, then double checks just in case I'm saying no in a "but if you don't get me anything I'll be cross" type of way- bless him.

Have to say, personally, I find this present-for all-occasions mentality a bit disturbing.

[Biba]

We don't buy DD any :choc: as she is allergic so we get her a present instead, this year its the new Harry Potter DVD as for Jack we aren't getting him anything, he has had so much stuff bought for him in the last 3months he doesn't need anything!!

**Off topic** Mrs D I love weebles i had them as a kid and didn't know you could still get them :clap:

[August Girl]

I had Weebles too, they were fantastic!

[phoenix]

I have bought Sasha an egg that comes with a ceramic egg cup. She has also been given an egg with a Pooh Bear.

[Princess Fiona]

Well Lu has done really well and got LOADS of stuff, luckily not much chocolate which is good because for some reason this year me and DH have 10 eggs between US :roll:

She has had a lovely outfit from BIL & SIL, its a chocolate brown skirt with pink patterns on and a long sleeved pink to, very very pretty but probably won't fit her til the winter now but nice to keep. She has had a lovely little kitten backpack which will be great for the summer :D and a little plastic tea pot with a tea set and plastic cakes etc in it :D :D She loves playing house and copying so i'm sure this will go down a treat. She has also been stocked up on vests and socks and also some "shortie" PJ's for the summer! :D

She also has 7 eggs :shock: so after i've eaten my 10, i'll start on hers :doh: :laff:

[August Girl]

Heck Katy, that's a lot of eggs! Should keep you going a while :choc:

Z has had a bit of money he wants to spend on a Dalek :roll: and Del has had a dress which will be just the right size in the summer. It says 6-9m but it's huge!! And Del is dinky anyway.

[Diddlum]

We don't really do presents at Easter in our families, but Niamh did get a little cuddly dog, a Buttons egg in the Easter Egg Hunt and a Teletubby which she LOVES! :shock: We didn't get her anything. :oops: BUT as my stepdaughter is apparently having an Easter present from us I've decided Niamh's having one too when we go to Toys R Us tomorrow. :)

Scarlet got about 6 eggs (from my family) and her present that she'll get tomorrow, plus whatever she gets from her dad's family, plus whatever she gets from her mum's family. :roll:

I didn't get anything. :-( Will have to buy myself a reduced price egg from the factory shop next week! :laff:

[Calamity]

Lorna got a Milky Bar egg from us and a dustpan and brush set at 50p and a tea set at £3. She hasn't stopped playing with them since she got them so a complete bargain :ellie:

My parents got her a pop up tent (under a tenner I think) and a Cadbury Buttons egg.

OH's parents got her a singing glove puppet and a couple of dresses for the summer.
