What does your Easter bunny leave ?

[Littlegemby]

I’m sure this is different for everyone and as I walked around the supermarket yesterday with 2 FULL isles of Easter decorations I wondered if just an egg is sufficient. Would the children in my DS class be getting more from their Easter bunny’s this year ? We normally just have a few small hidden eggs and a biggger egg but in the shops there are huge egg baskets and jelly’s and chocolate carrots ?? What does your Easter bunny do and leave ?

Doesn't anyone get/give clothes? That was the Easter tradition when we were younger (despite being an atheist family).

Yes my mother always gives my DD clothes.

Th Easter bunny doesn't leave anything. That isn't a tradition anywhere is it?

Parents set up an egg hunt- when older they follow clues but no magical bunny angle.

Does the stork also leave the babies?

No Easter bunny here. Husband buys eggs from Tesco as he gets discount and the kids choose which they want.

We work retail. I’m only getting Easter Sunday off this school holiday so I will be having a lie in rather than fannying around with egg hunts

I get up early and hide eggs and other sweets in the garden as one DC hates chocolate. I then tell the kids the Easter Bunny has been and they go outside and find everything. I have an American friend who does a basket for each of her kids with eggs, sweets and small toys.

My DS who is 7 and quite young for his age told me he's hiding the eggs this year so I think that ship has sailed.

I think traditionally the Easter Bunny was a bit like Santa, in that he/she left chocolate, sweets and small toys for children who have been good. It’s not a British tradition though. I believe it went to the US via the Dutch.

My DC get eggs from the family. Bunny leaves an easter related item (usually a soft toy) and an Easter film. I organise an egg hunt for them and their closest friends every year.

Pellets. The little sod.....

Now they’re teens they get money which goes down far better than the eggs ever did.

That’s what we get too! You know rabbits eat their own poo? Well the Easter Bunnies pellets are made of chocolate peanuts and raisins!

An egg, small toy (blind bag type thing) small craft kit (from the pound shop) and a bunny shaped bath bomb.

The Easter Bunny doesn't exist in Ireland, or if he does he never comes to anyone I know anyway.

We've never done the Easter Bunny, never thought to. We'll probably get them a Buttons egg each, unless they get loads from other people, in which case we won't bother.

SILs do Easter presents, but we never have - they have plenty of stuff already and our house isn't that big!

DS (4) is never bothered about what other kids got; I'm not sure he'd even think to ask. DD is only 2, so has no idea about the whole thing!

My mum will probably get a bag of chocolate coins and throw them round the garden so the kids can hunt for them when we're down, and she'll attempt some story about the Easter bunny, which we'll all laugh at.

We don't do the Easter bunny. The kids get an easter egg though and I sometimes give them a small gift as well. I love Easter and am looking forward to it.🐣🐣🐣🍫🌷🌷

My DC are 14 and 10 now, so they aren’t into all that, but we never had the Easter Bunny in our house. Egg hunt when they were little + Easter eggs & a roast dinner was the limit.

The commercialisation is so shameless these days it’s sickening. There is an aisle in my local Sainsbury’s that moves seamlessly from Christmas to Valentines to Mother’s Day to Easter to Fathers Day to ‘Summer Holidays/BBQ’ to Back To School to Halloween to Fireworks to Christmas in an endless cycle of shelves full of absolute tat. Resist!

I seem to be in the minority but the dcs get a small chocolate bunny and a small chocolate egg left out by the Easter bunny. Even now that they are far too old really I still do it!! Nothing beats going out in the cold at 6 in the morning on Easter Sunday!!!!!
