I always make our own. I get the sturdy ones, ribbon them up if I have to, and the kids will get a kite, a small stuffed animal, plastic eggs with candy in them, fruit, jelly beans, a chocolate bunny and some cadbury eggs. I usually include a little religious statue as well. Last year they each got an angel figuring standing over a little child, the year before they got Jesus and Mary nightlights. I haven't found what I want for this year yet.

We do real eggs so I dont' have to worry about stuffing them with things, but I will do a small chocolate bunny. I am thinking of buying me a sugar free one just so I won't be tempted. I was going to give them a kite, but they found it. I guess I shouldn't have left it in the car. I got them each a stuffed animal, some bubbles, and a small Kelly doll. I also got them a really cute umbrella from the Disney store. I am still trying to think of something for the baby. Maybe a basket full of pacis and baby toys or something. sharla

I do candy, and then for the little one I try to find a few little toys like bubble blowers, sidewalk chalk, etc., and for my 11 year old this year I've got some fun lip gloss, a sample size face mask, etc.
