While my Easter basket came with one major gift (the Barney stuffed animal) and some candy and stickers, the trend has evolved significantly over the years. Nowadays, many parents are going all out, creating elaborate baskets that seem more fitting for a visit from Santa Claus than a magical bunny.

She continued, “That’s what’s happening. That’s what everybody is out here doing. Just gifts, gifts, gifts. I didn’t budget for this. Not that I budget anyway. I don’t budget my money. That was a funny comment. It’s getting a little out of hand.”
