A lot of parents wonder if they should buy Easter gifts for kids if they've already put smaller gifts inside the Easter eggs that their kids will find and open on Easter day. if you ask kids they'll demand that not only should they gets tons of Easter candy in their Easter eggs but that they should get separate Easter baskets full of other stuff they want.
Most kids will be more than happy to provide you with a detailed list of 'other stuff' that you can put in their Easter baskets. However that pretty much just kills the whole spirit of Easter. It isn't even like you can take either one of the two things out of Easter but a lot of parents end up doing that because they can't figure out where or how to draw a line between the spirit of Easter and the mile long wish lists that kids manage to cook up.
As far as Easter gifts are concerned, every kid deserves an Easter gift and combining an Easter gift with the Easter candy or the Easter chocolate is probably not a very good idea and is pretty much like filling the Christmas stockings but not putting anything under the tree. The thing is that as kids grow older the fascination with Easter crafts grows less for them and at one point or the other all parents will wonder how much longer they have until their kids forget all about it.
Just to set things straight, kids don't forget holidays that have even the remotest potential to bring in gifts. Try making Easter a give and take situation. Lots of kids are known to groan in utter anguish when they're told they have to get dressed for a special Easter service and their disgruntled behavior lasts all through the car ride and sometimes even during the whole ceremony. Things like this and the subsequent deprivation of a decent Easter gift are more likely to distance kids from the holiday.
This doesn't mean that you should bribe your kids with Easter gifts for kids are concerned, a little digging around online will help you find Easter gifts and Easter party ideas that you can do with your kids.
