What do you buy a toddler for Easter?

[HotChocolatemarshmallows]

What's the thing nowadays? In my youth we got Easter eggs off everyone but everything is a big deal these days. What do you normally do for toddlers?

Egg. They don’t know any different.

A very, very small Easter egg.

Nothing. They don't know any better

Your toddler or a toddler of your acquaintance? I'd probably check with a parent how they feel about heaps of chocolate and get a book or playdough or craft kit if the answer was not favourable.

A small egg or nothing!

Small milky bar type egg which I would ld then "help" to eat. they don't need anything else.

Very small egg and small toy £20 absolute max. If I didn't have an older child the toy would be a car at a fiver. But I struggle to find toys for the older one at a fiver.

Mine is getting an egg

A small Easter egg, or an Easter themed colouring/activity book for a couple of £ if the parents don’t want too much chocolate.

I didn't bother with my eldest until he was 4 and knew about it.

For the younger ones, they got either a medium size kinder Easter egg (about £4) or a small dairy milk egg (there's usually a small buttons one with a cuddly toy).

A Easter book, an Easter craft thing from the works, a very small egg.

Oh that's assuming it's your toddler. Other people's toddlers get an egg or pack of cream eggs.

I hadn’t thought of getting mine anything tbh

We will get our two year old a chocolate egg and their sibling one too. Not a gift.

One small chocolate egg, or Lundy bunny. A kind gesture, but please resist the 'big deal', it really isn't necessary, and many children get given chocolate or sweets by other family members or neighbours, meaning that there is loads of sugary crap around way after Easter is over, and so much unnecessary plastic packaging

Tesco have eggs for 75p at the moment!

*Lindt, one of those little ones

Sorry - if it's for someone else's toddler, then either a very small egg or some kind of craft activity or something.....the soft toys etc drive me mad because they never get played with and clutter up the place

An Easter egg.
I find it ridiculous that kids now get bought gifts too.

Someone else’s toddler a craft set weirdly both Sainsbury’s and Poundland are good for these.

For my toddler - a chocolate animal if some description. No more than £1.

For someone else's toddler - I wouldn't really buy anything unless there was a reason - eg if I was staying with them for the weekend or something. In that case I'd probably give them a chocolate egg (if I knew they were allowed it, no allergies etc) or else some stickers.

And no need for gifts either. This is a new thing, and it seems totally tacky to me, and I am not even a Christian; sort of cheapening Jesus' sacrifice. We really must curb this incessant impulse to commercialise every celebration and attach an expectation of endless gifting to calendar events where there really is no precedence. Gratuitous consumption is bringing the planet to its knees, and opting out is a powerful piece of activism. Urgh...

I agree that "Easter gifts" are ridiculous. My nieces have always been given them (and Halloween gifts), and they now expect gifts all year round. SIL moans about how expensive it is, but she bloody started it!

We do books at Easter

Nothing, they get plenty from relatives (and I will end up eating half those so don’t need anymore)
