craftymama Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 What small gifts (that would fit in an Easter Basket) were a hit? I figured I ask now before everyone forgot so I can just load my list now and not think about it too much later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia64 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I made photo mugs on Costco's website. One son's mug had a beautiful photo of him riding a bike on the beach. My other son's mug had four photos from a fun event we attended in Nov. I also made mugs for my best friend's family -- and she called to say that they were a huge hit. Another hit that my son LOVED: a tiny drone that we bought at Costco for like $25. He can fly it in the house and it's only about the size of your hand.

happypamama Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 LEGO minifigures are always hits. CDs, especially older ones from favorite bands — the older ones are often inexpensive (and don’t come with autorip so the amazon music player doesn’t ruin the surprises). Jewelry.

Elizabeth86 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Where did you get the bathbomb dinosaur eggs? At walmart in the beauty isle with the kids bubble bath. It is seriously just a teeny platic flat dinosaur, but my boys went wild over them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The dino eggs are a hit here, too, but after one Easter I learned my lesson to put it nowhere near the candy. The scent is very strong. Small gifts this year that the kids loved: DS18: luggage tag, wallet, socks DS7: minifigures, playdoh We also bought a package of lego tape on clearance (okay, block tape) and I was going to put a roll in ds7's stocking but forgot. I'll put a roll or two in his Easter basket this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeLovePassion Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 My girls like those archeology digs from the Target $1 spot. They got one with some gemstones and one with a "fossil" in it. Also some Shopkins socks were a hit (also Target dollar spot). I ordered them a metal Jr. Ranger badge from eparks.com they loved that too.

I’m glad it was a hit elsewhere, too. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
