How many Easter eggs do you give the DC?

[Shopperami]

How many Easter eggs do the DC get from you including from family?

One Buttons one(£1.50) and one large one.

I can’t believe how many some people are getting!

My four year old has a giant one she won in a colouring competition for a local estate agent. Also one from me, one from her dad (we're married but obviously didn't communicate properly on this one!) and one from her childminder. Also there are lots of various mini eggs do I can set up a hunt around the house and garden tomorrow. Far too much really. She still had some of her Christmas chocolate left (though I've been "helping" with that). Oh and we went to a national trust place yesterday and she did an egg trail and "won" a medium size hollow egg, though she ate that on the way home.

My 14 year old has one from me and one from dad. He would have got one from school (an incentive to turn up on the last half day of term) but he had special dispensation not to attend as he arrived back from a school trip at 1am! Last year he ate it all before he got home.

Me and H get each other one too.

We’ll do one big one each and a hunt with small ones

They have decided not to eat any treats in the lead up to Sunday

20-25 large eggs each here, but then I love my children. I always post the array on FB to make sure everyone knows how much i love my children #livingmybestlife #makingmemories

I always give the kids a choice - one egg or £10 to spend on toys. They’ve always gone toys. Aside from that they’ve had one smaller egg each from clubs (smarties size), a bag of little eggs each (c.6 hen egg sized) from my mum and normally get an egg cup with an egg in from mil.

We’re not big on giving kids loads of sugar as we were both given loads growing up and have struggled to eat a healthy diet. So they get some so it’s not forbidden fruit but not loads.

We get our children one small egg each as they also get eggs from grandparents and aunties and uncles too. They probably end up with 4 or 5 small/medium ones each.
We have an Easter egg hunt tomorrow with their cousins so I have lots of the little eggs to hide.

I got to say though we don’t do Easter. No lent, no church, no family get together. For us it’s just a lovely long weekend. I wonder if those who do Easter (religiously or secularly) give more eggs?

Mine have a medium size one each. They then have their Easter buckets filled. Malteser bunnies, Easter haribo, Creme Eggs etc.

They don’t get eggs from anyone else. The grandparents both sides have given them £5 each.

They got the Easter baskets last night as we were watching a film.

None from us as they get plenty from family. They’ve probably been given about 6 each so far and I expect another one or two each to come.
I’ve given Lindt bunnies to family this year to avoid giving plastic.

@Oakenbeach is that all? Mine have 3p each and they have their own Instagram to chart how quickly they can eat them! Then May day I buy them each a new Maypole to dance around

One from us and a small gift, one each from two aunts, one each from two Nans but all the smaller ones, plus a fiver which has gone in his jar

None, DD is 6 and has never really eaten much chocolate (if Haribo did eggs she'd have it finished in record time though).

When did Easter presents become a thing? MIL gets DD presents every year (and hopefully a white chocolate egg as DD will eat some milkybar if the mood strikes her) and neither DH nor I know when this started. We got eggs as children, he didn't get presents so unsure why his DM now does it!

9yo DS also got one from school and one from holiday sports camp. Those will almost certainly be eaten by DP though.

We've bought ours a large kinder egg one and a large munchies/Cadbury's caramel etc , they'll get 4 from family and a fleece from one set of grandparents. Eldest demolishes his quite quickly, youngest still had easter chocolate just before Christmas last year.

DS1 has one from us but last year ended up with a total of 14 from grandparents, aunts and uncles etc. Lasted until Xmas

DS2 is 10 months so new clothes and he has one from a relative which I expect will be broke. Down into tiny pieces for occasional treats

1 from us because she asked for a specific one, one from my mum, 2 of my mums friends get her a small egg or bag of coins and a T-shirt and my brother and sil have got her a chocolate bunny.

DD doesn't actually eat chocolate very often though so I'll no doubt end up eating it all and then crying because I'm dieting or we'll make some crispy cakes because she likes them more than a slab of chocolate.

I'm 40 and when we hit 10/11 maybe we were asked did we want chocolate or a present at Easter. So Easter presents have been a thing for a while. I'd add we only got a couple of eggs.

Just the one, Easter is about so much more than the chocolate. Other family members normally choose to buy her one each so she ends up with around 6 in total.

A couple of big ones, a bunny rabbit a hollow medium size one and then a packet of little ones.

As a kid I used to get up to 30. About 10 off mum and dad, 5 off one grandparents, 2 off another, and several aunts and uncles who I would have 2 or 3 each- only grandchild and niece. It’s was stupid! No wonder I had bad teeth as a child.

Now my boys have one of me, one off their dad, one off my partner, one off my partners mum and grandparents, aunts and uncles they get money. Plus me and their dad will buy them something they want like a game on the Xbox, or a new t-shirt.

I must admit dp left my Easter egg here Thursday- I ate it all yesterday because I was in a 😔mood, and boy did I feel sick afterwards. I haven’t had Cadbury chocolate for ages as I’m not a chocolate buyer- but it tasted ‘different’ not as nice, but I don’t know why? Maybe my tastebuds are changing as I get older....

It’s got palm oil in now snowyalpsandpeaks and it does taste different.

We've bought our dc a small Lego model each this year as they usually get 4 each from relatives.

😵 I got 3! One from my parents, one from each set of grandparents.

We bought 1 small egg (the £1 size) a pack of mini eggs and a book each for ours (12, 8, 6 yo). They’ll probably get about 3 more small to medium ones from friends and relatives but the rest now give them a couple of pounds for their money boxes or a small toy or book as they have far too much as it is. The 12 y o will probably eat it but the other 2 will have it raided by DH!

My two don't really like chocolate so we got them a small kinder bunny each and a pot of haribo easter gummy to share. They also got a small box of Lego the 6 euro ones. A friend came round earlier and surprised us by giving the boys a small chocolate bunny each and I know Oma will have got them something and probably UrOma and UrOpa will have got them something. So quite a bit really.
