In response to this, several TikTok users shared their own practical and cost-effective Easter basket ideas:
- “I just buy stuff they’ll use over the summer. New swimsuit? Bubbles? All the spring/summer stuff I’d already buy,” one user suggested.
- Another said, “Not us. Crocs, sunglasses, one outdoor small toy, candy.”
- A third user added, “Really though 😳. My son reuses his basket every year. New bubbles, new chalk, new flip-flops, an Easter outfit, and a big Easter egg that holds candy.”
- One person commented, “I spent $100 on my daughter’s Easter gifts. FOR WHAT!?”
- A different user stated, “No. I treat my kids year-round. Easter is for chocolate and egg hunts. I draw the line at the kiddie pool ‘Easter basket’ trend 😅.”
The “kiddie pool Easter basket” trend involves filling an actual plastic kiddie pool with gifts and candy—an extravagant gesture that some find excessive.
