There have always been mall Easter bunnies. It's the gifts that have ramped up.

If it didn't fit in an Easter basket you didn't get it before.

Gifts? Why would kids get gifts? Chocolate rabbits, colored eggs, jelly beans and Peeps. It's all about candy not gifts. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 09:29 11
- Disagreed. It has never been *all* about the candy and especially in this day-and-age of obesity I would prefer to see the candy downplayed further. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 8, 09:32 10
  - As far as what kids get on Easter, it's all about the candy. That's my point. - Krusty Apr 8, 09:36
  - It's not gifts instead of candy... it's gifts AND candy. Last couple weeks' Target ads - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 09:35 8
    - No gifts, it's not the kids birthday or Christmas(his birthday...sort of). This is really the first I'm hearing about giving kids gifts on Easter. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 09:43 7
      - I always got gifts. Stuffed animals, etc. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:00 6
        
        Stuffed bunnies is one thing but toys not associated with the holiday? I don't think I've seen that before. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 10:21
        
        ... and the stores have had those themed basket bundles for decades. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:01 4
        
        Yes... and everything fits in a basket... here's an example of what I've seen. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 10:09 3
        
        Logan got 4 (small) baskets. - Spawn Apr 8, 10:17 2
        
        It seems you keep making my point for me. Candy, baskets and small toys. Not bikes and XBoxes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 10:21 1
        
        Ah, agreed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:38
