How many Easter eggs do you buy DC?

[OtherCoraline]

Just bought my Easter eggs for DC. They each have:

1x medium size smartie egg
1x medium size creme egg
2x small size eggs (one mini egg, one milky bar)
1x smartie bunny

And a packet of mini creme eggs to hunt around for.

I know that if you add the sugar value up, it’s a lot, obviously will be spread out etc but I can’t help but feel that it’s not lots? I definitely got more as a child and they won’t get any from anyone else. It’s just we have a holiday next week so I’m just trying to save money for that.

One egg or big bunny etc and then an Easter outfit (not themed, just ready for the time of year), just because that's what I had each year as a child and I've carried on the tradition.

Same here!

Two each, one from us and one from my DF

One small-ish one each, cost about £2 each. They've got a medium one from an auntie, they'll get another from their grandfather. They got £10 each from their other GPs. One DC still has leftover Halloween and Christmas chocolate /sweets so no point buying more.

When dd was small, we got her one big one, and some little ones to find in the garden, plus a bag of mini eggs to make chocolate rice crispie nest cakes with.

Err, one egg with a choc bar & then some mini ones for a hunt

One each on Easter Sunday.
And I have to buy my Dad one, as otherwise he doesn't get any.

We have been eating mini eggs for a few weeks tho - well DS1 and I have. They aren't great with braces or lactose intolerance, so DS2 and DH are abstaining!

But worried I don't have enough now

1 medium.
They'll get one from Granny, one from Auntie and a pack of mini eggs from other Granny.

Tons of big eggs is pointless.
Actually I think there are still a couple of Snowmen in the fridge from Christmas.

1 big egg each and a present, but my youngest is 16. Presents are trainers for 2 DS, Dress and Jacket for DD and DM's for other DD
They will also get egg from 1 set of grandparents, and maybe something from their dad.

Are Easter presents a thing now?

One medium egg each. That’s it. None from other family members.

I'm not that young and Easter from one Granny was 3 creme eggs & a pack of pants or socks depending on her mood!

One medium egg. Plus a few mini ones from an egg hunt.

They don’t get loads from family either as we don’t live near them so they don’t get given them.

I got around 10 as a child!

One big one

@Needspaceforlego never heard of anything non choc related

None. They get big eggs from grandparents and aunts and uncles already. They do not need any more, especially as they don’t even particularly like them. One of them still has Christmas chocolate left!

1 each. When they were small we did a small egg hunt in the garden. Now they are adults I still send them one each (and 1 each for flatmates lol)

DS only got 1 from us as he got loads from other people. And the grannies buy a present instead of an egg.

I always got presents in the 90s. A basket with eggs and a few trinkets, an outfit for Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and a toy or something.

None but my kids are older than 10 so not necessary any more.

ONE each mid-range

One.

But mine are adults, when they were small, they'd get one and a pack of 3 kinder eggs with a £5 note taped to it.
They used to get far more Easter eggs from neighbours/friends/family than they did Christmas presents but I think that's cos you can pick up an egg for £1 so people go a bit nuts.

One big one, and some mini eggs to hunt
They often get small ones from grandparents and two aunts.

I have the same rule of thumb at Xmas and Easter (and Halloween)- I never give my kids more than I'm happy for them to eat all in one go. If it needs to be spread over several days it's too much.

Mine each get one smallish egg. That's it 🤷‍♀️
