Ok so I'm constantly seeing people complaining about people out shopping for nonessential items and risking the spread of this virus. But I need to get Easter baskets & stuff to put in my kid's Easter baskets. Are y'all Easter shopping or what? I don't even have baskets bc we always go to my sister's for the weekend so we just leave them at her house. I can't find anything I need on Amazon everything is out of stock that I wanted except this one book for my son. What's everyone else doing?

Mama, I love that you want to do something special for your children but needing and wanting Easter baskets for your children are two different things.
Let's be honest: You want baskets for them.
Here's an idea: make something for them. You don't need to buy anything to make something special for them. Then you can make a great memory together and have an amazing story for them when they are grown about that memory. You could always make something for the "Easter Bunny" instead of him leaving something for them to teach them about giving and kindness. I promise, your little babies will not even know Easter is being skipped if you never mention it. Now your older son, he will know but he is old enough to understand. I hope this gives you some ideas. Have a great day!

I know it's nonessential that's why I asked the question. Thank you for the ideas.

I politely disagree. I myself celebrate from a faith based perspective, and this in my opinion is only for commercial celebrating. It has nothing to do with a faith based celebration. But for those people who choose to celebrate this way, to each their own. The reality is people celebrate their own way for many reasons and that's ok, but what good is having a celebration is your risk your life to have a little fun? I am Christian, but as many Muslims will tell you even Mecca has been closed to prevent the spread of this disease and a trip to Mecca as a Muslim is the highest of goals for worship. That should really speak to us. We should all be more aware and take precautions.

@momtoboys1516 I think she just meant the Easter baskets aren't essential...which they aren't. Not the holiday. I was more offended by the comment below saying Easter is not important. Although that's their opinion. But it is important to us. Everyone is celebrating for different reasons.

@momtoboys1516, An Easter basket is NOT essential to the religious side of Easter. That's NOT even what it's about so NO, it's NOT a necessity. Ridiculous.

@leonardsquared I was just asking what everyone else was doing that does celebrate Easter with baskets. It wasn't meant to start a debate. We can agree to disagree on what we think is essential. It's not worth arguing over. ❤

@momtoboys1516, only you hold the list of what should be important and what shouldn't be?? Your list doesn't match mine, doesn't make me any less of a person.

@momtoboys1516, I can state my opinion JUST like you can honey. Can't deal with an adult conversation, perhaps you should move along.

I would never skip giving my kids Easter baskets. ESPECIALLY right now with everything that's going on and everything that's already been taken from them. Like their friends, school, sports, grandparents, cousins, etc. I'm going to make this easter as special as I possibly can. I've been ordering them stuff from Amazon, walmart, even some new summer pajamas, sunglasses and toys all from Carters. When my dh went to CVS recently for essentials, I had him grab eggs and candy fillers, fun electric toothbrushes, bubbles, chalk etc for their baskets.
