Hello! It’s Tuesday Talk time with Ashley and Erika. With Easter right around the corner, I thought I’d share some Easter gift ideas for kids.

At our house, the Easter Bunny brings the candy for their baskets and hides the eggs that we dye the day before Easter.
I use Easter as a time to give practical gifts for the season like flip flops, pajamas, swimsuits, and a book or two. Some years I pick up odds and ends to put in Hayden and Hadley’s baskets with the candy like a tooth brush, body spray, deodorant, and chapstick.

This year Target and Amazon had everything I needed to provide practical and cute gifts for Hayden and Hadley.
Hayden:

- These slides will be just what Hayden needs for the pool and wearing to practice when he’s not wearing his cleats.
- I’ve never purchased kids’ swimwear from Amazon, but these plaid trunks have high ratings and there are many cute patterns! They arrived yesterday and the quality is really good!
- I’ve had this God Sized Dreams book saved on my Amazon list for the kids for quite some time. I always try to buy a book for them for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and back to school.
- I guess Hayden’s officially “too old” to wear matching pj shorts and shirts, so I thought I’d give him these play shorts to wear as pajama bottoms that he’ll just wear to bed with whatever t-shirt he chooses.
Hadley:

- I thought this two piece from Target was so cute. I think Hadley will love it!
- Hadley loves to have a variety of sandals in the summer, so I picked these pink flip flops up for her at Target.
- I purchased the girl version of the God Sized Dreams book for Hadley as well.
- Hadley already has a pair of these pajamas from last year, but I bought her the next size to be able to wear this spring and summer. They are some of her faves!

Also, Hadley still loves her leather sandals that she got last summer, and thankfully they still fit! We both have a pair of these comfort slides from Amazon, and we both wear them often. They come in a variety of colors as well!
Both:
I still love my weighted blanket, and the kids have shown interest in wanting one. I’ve had this 5 lb one saved, and saw that the price dropped significantly, so I went ahead and got one for each of them.

Small Gift Ideas:
Here are a few other smaller items that I’ve purchased for them for their Easter baskets or other holidays:
- Stretch Band for Dance (Hadley still uses this, and it was in her basket last Easter)
- Cra-Z-Art Snow (Hayden thought this was so fun when he received it last Easter)
- Led Sound Activated Party Lights with remote (Hadley LOVES this thing!)
- Bananagrams (family fave!)
- Wireless Computer Mouse (essential item to use with their chromebooks)
- Blue Light Blocking Glasses (perfect for online learning)
How do you do Easter baskets at your house? It’s always fun to see the kids hunt for the hidden eggs, have chocolate for breakfast, and enjoy a few gifts before we head to church.
Thanks so much for reading. I hope your week is off to a great start!

Same as you! Swimsuit, pjs, goggles, candy, books were all things I used to do. I would do toothbrushes, underwear, sometimes. This year Iβm doing two shirts, shorts, candy, and I like the idea of technology things. I know one kid needs wireless mouse. I think I will add that!

My kids have even been using their mouse and mouse pad at school. Iβd forgotten about goggles! I usually get some of those as well.

Thank you! I know some don’t use mousepads anymore but I love a photo gift. Sounds like Homer is growing up!

That’s what I used to do too; bathing suits, sandals, new swim goggles, etc. but I am officially at the point where none of my boys want me picking out any sort of clothing for them. I’ve been trying to wrack my brain but I think last year I just got them each a chocolate bunny and made a card… but I really can’t remember.

Hayden has started being picky…actually, heβs always been picky. I guess heβs getting pickier about his clothes. Haha

I love everything you picked! I have my list of Easter goodies but I need to go shopping. I am planning to do more practical vs. toys/junk. I just need to stay focused and not go overboard.

We do the same thing for Easter – spring and summer things. Thanks for the reminder! I need to get on it! Golf balls or golf dotz are another fun addition that Hayden might like.
