Easter gifts

Just curious - do you buy your nieces and nephews gifts for Easter?

I never know how much to spend on holidays like this - Christmas, we set limits, but this is different.

Is like $25-$30 ok for a niece or nephew? Am I being cheap? Money is tight this year and I'm honestly not doing much more than that for DS.

Thanks!!!

In my family, that'd be considered extremely generous. For Easter, we do more token gifts. A book, bubbles, playdoh, funny bunny ears, that type of thing.

DD usually just gets something small like a book and stuffed animal. I think $25+ sounds like a lot to spend.

I do. I have 2 nephews and 1 niece and I probably spend about $20-25 on each kid. You're not being cheap at all!!!! And honestly, if you spent $5 it's still the thought that counts.

Re: Easter gifts

We do Easter baskets for our niece and nephew. We probably spend around $25 on each. A few pieces of chocolate, some jelly beans and usually an iTunes gift card for each of them (they are 13 and 7 now).

My family is the same. We give gifts for everything! For Easter,
I put together a basket or bag with a couple things, shirt, small toy, candy. For my cousins- cousins (older), I buy just a little something usually candy.

I do buy for my nieces but it's nothing expensive. I.e coloring books and chocolates or stuffed Easter bunny. This year I got some sunglasses at children's place I'm am going to throw in with a Peter Rabbit coloring book I found at target. Check out the Dollar spot, good stuff ;)

Some years I'll buy their outfits but my sister does the same for my DS some years.

We usually just give a chocolate bunny or a little pail of Easter candy. Just a token thing.

Same here. But we don't do gifts for Easter in my family- just candy & small things like books, bubbles, crayons, small stuffed animals, etc.
