Do any of you guys remember getting an iPhone, AirPods and a $100 StarBucks gift-card for Easter? 😀 cause I sure do! 😁 -- FOLLOW ME: instagram: halohayleys tiktok: halohayley -- Thanks for watching!
As a millennial parent it's so embarrassing to see every parent shortening kids childhood and pushing skincare and aesthetics instead of toys and candy. Teaching them overconsumption and insecurity instead of just letting them being kids.
I hate it too it anger me that some parents are putting insecurity in their kids they are basically saying "there something wrong with your look" when they give them skincare or anything that can alter their appearance instead of accepting their individuality
Omg same! I’m not that rich but just getting all of that skincare, shoes, and Stanley cups on Easter would just make me hate the holiday. Next they are going to be giving out skincare and Stanley cups on Halloween
My mother just buys me chocolate. Thats all I need is to stuff my face in chocolate. IF I got a phone for easter i would be like thanks.... and then keep using my current phone because everything is already on it. And the Halloween thing? Nah bro, tooooooo far.
My six year old might... but honestly, I am with you. Everyday, non fancy/special shoes as gifts are just in super poor taste. You should never use a gift giving event to provide your child with needs. Just give it to them when they need it.
I’m in my mid 20’s. I was absolutely ecstatic when my mother-in-law got me a small Easter basket with chocolate rabbits, edible grass, and a stuffed animal. As a Latina, we didn’t really do the Easter baskets growing up, so she surprised me with a basket. I love my new white family ❤
Ahh I’m so glad you get to enjoy that!! My mom makes my long term boyfriend Easter baskets too and he loves it :) He gives me a lot of the candy too :)
These kids are being raised to be over-consumers, spoiled, materialistic, and terrified of “being cringe” and not wealthy. It’s ridiculous and frankly, disgusting. How can parents see *nothing* wrong with this?!
The world is already full of plastic, this lifestyle’s literally unsustainable for the entire planet. But sure, yeah, let’s teach the next generation how to over consume everything 🙄💀
Once upon a time, I kind of resented growing up poor. Now, I think I will be ahead of the game if world economies go belly up. I have things I learned to survive. Kids these days, I'm not sure if they could. And that is sad.
This is honestly not only ruining beautiful old tradations, this is also making their daughters more and more insecure, they are removing the fun of amazing holidays by giving them idiotic skincare items. Now everytime its easter or Christmas, their daughters will think about what products will their moms give next to fix their so-called "problems" that society warped their minds to think. Its sickening.
I’m convinced this shit isn’t even for the kids at this point. This is the parents trying to show off. We get my 3 yo son candy & a few surprise eggs. He also knows the Easter Bunny isn’t real. So at least I have that arsenal in my back pocket when he starts school and I have to deal with these psycho parents. Come at me or my kid for getting candy while you & your kid brag about all the unnecessary stuff they got … prepare to have “the magic” ruined by my kid! 🤣
The fact that the young girl said "it's because of Tiktok" with confidence and a slight bit of disdain is WILDDDD. The own mom can't see the issue, but a CHILD is able to see that it's being pushed too much. BEFORE SHE'S A TEEN.
Yeah, I'm shocked too. In Europe we do baskets with the food we gonna eat on Easter Sunday's breakfast, not with presents. We put there some bread, eggs, salt, pepper, butter etc and bring those baskets to church to bless these products...
As just a Christian I got a couple beanie boos some chocolate one of those light up chicks when you throw them and more stuff but I would never get a PHONE or AIRPODS
"I have never bought skin care, makeup, perfume, or phone products for my kids. Instead, I gave them an activity book, a couple of toys, and tons of candy on Easter. The most we ever spent on Easter baskets were the only two premade baskets we ever bought, and they cost us over a hundred dollars. However, we were fully disappointed with them, so I kept the baskets. Every year, as part of our family tradition, I would have my kids set their empty baskets on the living room table. While they were asleep, I would fill the baskets. For the comedic factor, I would make little bunny paw prints from the front door all the way to the table with little bunny dropping every now and again. My kids knew it was Easter and the Easter bunny had been there when they would hear me loudly complaining about how that darn bunny messed up my floors again. They would come running out of their rooms and I would be standing there with a broom and a mop. As they got older, I would set traps to catch the darn rabbit to prevent him from dirtying my floors. Every year my kids would sabotage my traps. sigh lol. Anyhow, we had two rules in our house - no Easter basket went above our budget of $50, and once you turn thirteen, Easter baskets are no longer given out."
4:04 - "I think it's because of TikTok." - A little girl explains in seconds why young kids are demanding skincare. I've seen it too. I spent my Christmas season in a lower-income country where Sephora doesn't even exist, but my host family's kids still know all the brands because of TikTok. For presents, I brought them candy and art supplies because they're *children.* They have their entire lives to worry about skincare and how they look.
The fact parents try to find any reason to defend their bad parenting “it’s in her DNA”???????????????????? But legit child understand IT IS because of tik tok. Soooooo fricking sad!!
The only skincare kids should be obsessed with... is sunscreen. And I don't even think I saw that in any of these videos or tiktoks! I can get parents wanting to not give as much chocolate to their kids as a health choice instead, but there are so many better options! I personally, as a kid, would have lost my mind over a fruit basket for easter over a basket of chocolate, things like chocolate covered fruits and nuts too, or my mom would make different sort of balls with different ingredients that wouldn't even take that long to make with oats, honey, and peanut butter mixed with nuts and other stuff. Or make hard boiled eggs and paint them? I loved that so much as a kid!! This is just proof that tiktok is awful and should die. The fact that so many children are allowed on it, nvm unsupervised, and clearly their parents are okay with this is so wrong...
@@3amhellbeast There are plenty of non-candy options! At work recently I helped a woman put together an Easter basket for a kid who had a lot of allergies and couldn't eat chocolate. She got craft stuff, stickers, little fidgets, and things to use outside like bubbles and chalk.
This just proves that “Sephora kids” wouldn’t exist if their parents (most commonly their moms) didn’t enable the behavior. They need to stop getting makeup and harsh skincare, get them some chocolate and yeah maybe a cute cup or smthn. I think if you want and can to spend 1000+ dollars on your kids go right ahead, but buy something that is age appropriate and useful, if you have a teen that likes makeup then yeah it makes sense, but not for AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL! Anyways happy Easter y’all 💕
I could understand if the kid had a skin condition that needed constant attention, or just basic lotion or something... But it's crazy what they are getting their kids
yeah. age appropriate gifts and harsh skin care is a big concern for me too. not completely how much they spent. this stuff looks like Christmas and birthday hauls.
How about they get them some freaking books….because I work in childcare and so many of these preteens CANNOT EVEN READ!!! But they know all about skin care, tiktok, celebs and horoscopes. It’s horrific to see.
Terrifying. In 2nd grade half my class was reading at a kindergarten or even preschool level. That was over 5 years ago and most of them still have a reading problem
For real? Maybe it's the hyperlexia that comes with autism in my case, but when I was a preteen I was reading the occasional book made for adults. Still liked kid stuff though. That's so sad.
At this point in time, it’s safe to say the main concern of these holidays aren’t the kids anymore. It’s a way for parents to show off, and gain a following on social media. When I was that age, my parents had gotten me a little wicker basket full of candies and chocolate and I was happy! This generation is going to grow up with such unrealistic standards, they’re being spoiled from such a young age. This isn’t healthy.
@@ethanchasejacksonmaybe buy age appropriate products for their children bc I doubt a child who isn't in their teens yet need a Stanley,skincare,etc (kids that aren't in their teens yet need toys not Stanleys,skincare,etc)
What’s crazy is there are some, but not all people struggling with money and the whole reason for that is because they’re spending more money on their kids than they are spending on their bills. It’s mostly just for aesthetics, which makes no sense because it’s not like the kid really cares about the aesthetic anyways lol
Oooh the one “skincare” I’ve always loved getting is different flavored chapsticks/lip balms. I think that’s about the only thing appropriate for an Easter basket to accompany candy. Like, they’re frequently candy flavors and age-appropriate
My mom is in a financial crisis right now (autoimmune disease that makes her can't keep a job) and when she got me an entire basket of hello kitty items, i was in shock.
As a 16 year old that grew up with Easter egg hunts and chocolate eggs, I would never, and I mean NEVER trade any of those times for any of these “Easter” baskets. Those moments I spent with my friends and family are IRREPLACEABLE!! I’m really sad that these kids won’t have that experience...
My children still talk about the Easter Egg Hunts they did. They loved them, at the ages of 26, 24, and 18 they asked to do it again this year. Memories for these family event live forever.
Im 19 now, sisters nearly 17 and my mum still did a little easter egg hunt around the house, if i did get skincare it was a stocking filler at Christmas and it was basic things like face wash or a new shampoo scent.
I realized people celebrated Easter more extravagantly about 15 years ago. We put eggs in our yard full of candy and the neighbors hid eggs with $10, $20, $50 and $100 dollar bills in them. And they got presents like it was Christmas part 2. And my kids told me they weren’t the only parents doing that. That other kids at school were talking about all the gifts they got for Easter. I didn’t realize it had become a gift giving holiday 🤷🏻♀️
I remember that Lucy from the Peanuts strip had stated to Schroeder that it was the gift getting season in the special It's The Easter Beagle Charlie Brown! Who would've thought that she would be right?
What I've come to realize about the nonsense you see on TikTok, particularly expensive behaviour like this: This isn't a common thing, like it's not normal people engaging in these behaviours. All social media is really is a place for rich, out of touch, privileged, awful people to display how they don't live in the same world as the rest of us. It's a place to brag about all the things they have, that the majority of people will never be able to attain. This makes me hate these "influencers" all the more.
That’s why it’s so popular right …it’s a fantasy dream to all those watching it. If you could actually afford to buy this stuff you wouldn’t be watching…you would be an influencer showing it off
Yep! It feels like privileged aspiration videos for a select few commenters and a rage bait video for engagement comments for the rest of the community.
The problem is that while we're old enough to see through it, little girls who are being bombarded with this kind of content will think this is normal. That in order to be cool and beautiful they need all that stuff too, or that they're lame because they can't afford it or their parents don't want to buy it for them. It's really sad to see that this overconsumption and beauty obsession has become a sort of life goal for this new generation of kids
I was very poor when my kids were younger. I have never let them go without anything. I decided years ago, my kids were going to get a small basket with practical gifts instead of toys and junk. My 10 year old daughter got a nice sketchbook and several other small crafting items she uses every single day. These are things she recently asked for because she was running out of materials. I put together a very nice basket for her for maybe $30, candy included. She absolutely loved it! My son is 19 and he still gets a basket. He also got candy and a multi-location use gift card and he was just as happy. Raise your kids to be grateful, not materialistic brats expecting luxurious items on holidays!
I remember losing my mind as a kid when my grandma said she hid a $1 in one of the Easter eggs for the egg hunt (in my 20s currently) I can’t even fathom the idea of getting a 1400 dollar Easter Basket with a phone and a bunch of skincare that most 2-13 year olds don’t even need. Like I’m unable to have children due to my disability but the idea of having a kid right now with what seems to be expected by other parents currently is terrifying. Like the idea of giving my child a cute lil basket with maybe a couple dollar tree toys in it and then hiding a dollar in one of the eggs like my grandma did warms my heart, but realistically I’d probably be told I was being cheap and cruel to my kid
It's like one big competition to see who is the most expensive and aesthetic with their children's lives. Like kids don't even want or need most of that, they're just influenced by media and parents.
These parents are treating EVERY holiday like Christmas now 😩 like yes it's the parents money to spend however they want, but it's still insane overconsumption
There’s always been those kids whose parents are going into debt for holidays, just to give their kid bragging rights. Growing up I knew a kid whose family lived pretty tight, didn’t own a car, rented a modest place, but went all out on holidays. That kid got an N64 for Easter (when they were new, obviously). I think it’s a lot of rich parents with social media just wanting that “bragging rights” feeling of the neighbour kid from their childhood. This is from the perspective of an average millennial parent. Because none of use are out here doing all that!
This is so true, and I know someone exactly like this, but they have a car and their own house. (Not like it matters but anyways) I just find it disgusting how they’re going in debt just for their kid (my ex friend/ classmate) bragging rights. It’s ridiculous, I honestly think these parents need to understand they are just raising materialistic kids obsessed with overconsumption of today’s brands. (Also, this kid said I’m materialistic🤦🏼♀️ my parents don’t go all out for holidays and name brands don’t necessarily matter to me. If anything she’s the materialistic one)
Dude, these are CRAZY! These parents are spending WAYYYY too much!! My parents have never bought me anything for Easter, and all I've ever wanted was for them to buy me just 1 small chocolate, and these parents are out here giving out THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on skincare and phones...
My grandma always makes me and my siblings easter baskets and doesn't go spending thousands💀she gets everything or most things from dollar tree and they're still amazing and I love them.
When I was a kiddo, I woke up to find my hidden basket which had jelly beans, maybe a few small toys (bubbles, things of that nature) a chocolate bunny and a few books because I was/am a bookworm. I was always thrilled! The idea of giving little kids skincare is creepy and weird. A pack of fun lipbalms, OK. But plumping lip masks and anti-aging for an 8 year old? Gross. ... Just hoping this occurs mostly in the delusional world of online 'clout' and not what's happening with the majority of families. Which, is mostly likely the case.
I thought she was trolling for a minute. Growing up, I had to earn my gifts. If I wanted something expensive, I had to do chores or get good grades. Anyone who still believes in the Easter bunny doesn’t need firming products.
yeah same, i don’t know if this is weird but i never got anything for easter, no chocolates or gifts, I had to work for what i got (and my family has never had financial trouble, i just think it’s ridiculous the gifts that kids are getting.)
2:19 I am a teen but my ass still is running around trying to find the damn Easter eggs with some crabby pattie gummys inside (I don't even like those). Of course I want the chocolates. I have a sweet tooth so whenever there is a chance to get candy, I'm gonna take that damn chance. I only got like 30 dollars, and I was overjoyed. I would be disappointed if I got skin care instead of candy. I DONT EVEN GET EASTER BASKETS WHAT THE HELL. Even my aunts and uncles joined in on the fun and began throwing each other some confetti filled eggs! I love that my family still do this. The we got to fly kites. Flying a kite was fun, ive never got to experience that so i was very happy. Its sad kids these days wont be able to experience this anymore
My family flies kites every Easter that the weather allows, I’m glad you got to experience it! Not much like it, fun, unique, sometimes chaotic experience 😃
fr i remember getting a moisturizer as a kid and it felt like something from the doctor (like i would die cuz of dry skin??) like just a negative vibe, couldnt imagine having to experience that rather than CANDYYY
My kids got jumpropes, some chocolate, and a puzzle, each. The "Golden Egg" held a ticket for One Free Movie Night wherein they can stay up late (on weekends) and watch their favorite movie with Mom and Dad. Of course my youngest got it, and chose "Dune" as her movie because she's a weird little kid, AND she knows its a long ass movie. 😂
i’m 15… for easter my dad bought a pack of trolli gummies, 2 packs of peeps, a bag of kitkats, and a chocolate bunny. GUESS WHAT?!?! i was over the moon. just him caring enough to buy candy for a holiday that isn’t too big for us brought me to tears. i feel like skincare, stanley’s and electronics takes away the fun and sweetness of easter. i don’t get it man..
My son is almost 30. When was 7, my husband-his dad-was on a business trip over Easter and he was sad. So…I made a scavenger hunt for him with his Easter basket at the end. The clues were in eggs and it led him all over the house. It had candy, cheese crackers, a small stuffed bunny and a card from his dad. He LOVED it!
This is absolutely ridiculous. I am in my early 20s and my folks still give me Easter baskets because they know it's a tradition and they love me.. I am always happy to get candy, gummy bears and chocolate eggs and the occasional shirt or plushie or vynil record.. but THIS is absolutely nuts!! KIDS DON'T need that crap! Whatever happened to just getting CANDY?!😂 What, on Halloween are we Going to replace the candy with a Sephora products? Hope you had a lovely Easter Hayley❤
I didn’t even get Easter baskets. We went Easter egg hunting as kids that was your basket. I didn’t even get the premade baskets with all the toys already in them. Honestly? I wanted one of those baskets growing up. But I didn’t expect it and was happy with the candy I got from Easter eggs.
As a Gen Z teenager girl, i still want chocolate and it’s literally what makes me the most happiest person alive and seeing some MOTHERS giving to their 12 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER some make up instead of chocolate for Easter just breaks me, I know teenager girls love make up and skincare, I do, but still Easter is about CHOCOLATE AND CANDY NOT SKINCARE PRODUCTS AND MAKE UP
Same here as a (younger) but still gen z teen. This year, I got mostly skincare and makeup from my parents, and I feel really bad about it because I wouldn't have an issue with 15 dollars worth of candy or something like that. I know makeup is really expensive too, and I don't really use it. I feel really bad about it, but im thankfull and Im going to try using them, and Im happy to get anything at all, but I feel bad about the money portion.
they’re shopping like it’s their kids birthdays! it’s crazy! my parents hated “pagen” holidays cause they’re weird christians bullshitters and i wasn’t allowed to get easter baskets. but my grandma got us some one year and it was ALL candy. i was the happiest in the world!
Exactly plus they are 12 if they want to do that wait until they are in their 20s. This would be great for a grown woman not a pre teen and not go as well for a teenager.
Ngl, I got pretty spoiled one year. One year, my mom purchased a minecraft code card for me so I could FINALLY play the REAL minecraft and not the junk on Roblox. I was ecstatic. It was my favorite Easter, but it's STILL NOTHING LIKE THIS!
On Easter we go to church and the family has a big lunch together. The only gift i ever recieved is candy, and i love it. I'm glad someone can afford these ridiculously expensive presents, but it literally kills all the fun... As 24, i still can't wait for it, because it is special because of the time spent together. When i was little we decorated eggs with my mom. Idk if other countries has this tradition, but here boys come and splash the girls with water (or just throw an entire bucket at us, lol) in exchange for some gift, like candy, drinks or money. We don't have the time anymore but still sit down and play board games, and have fun together.
My childhood Easter's were all day in church so i cant even imagine getting a basket yet alone one this insane, i knew kids got candy but i didnt realize it was a whole thing lol
I feel a similar way when I see premade easter baskets down here. When we were young way back in the 70s and 80s we got easter candy and dyed hard boiled eggs (hunted the eggs) and that was terrific. It wasn't a holiday that you got gifts on. I'm actually surprised that someone your age thinks like this, though it is nice. It's also nice to see that some parents are still doing easter the traditional way. Btw...I didn't realize that some parents spent this much on non easter items for Easter.
I would be sad too, even as a millennial adult, all I want for Easter is some fun seasonal chocolate! Literally the most expensive thing in my Easter baskets growing up was a DVD/Blu-ray movie (sometimes Easter related, sometimes not). I also got a bunny Webkinz when I was 9 and I was thrilled! (Remember Webkinz? That was THE SHIT in third grade, everyone wanted one. Skincare, what skincare?) Sometimes I would get some cheap little Easter themed toys/games too. And this is just all the non-candy items, there was always candy! When I was a kid, it was always implied that Easter was not Christmas, Christmas is where you get the 'big' gifts. But with Easter baskets this expensive like in the video, who even needs Christmas presents (or vice versa)?!
At 5:20 the mum actually didn’t really put in stuff that’s crazy. I mean she’s 13. The mum got her some mascara, hand wash, a beach towel and a $5 Starbucks voucher which is NOT totally weird. But some of these baskets were crazy. 2 STANLEYS?
Only compared to the others. It's still a weird ass basket. A $5 starbucks gc isn't enough to even buy you a single drink there (and a 13 year old getting coffee??) What about Easter screams "beach"? Why is the Easter bunny bringing makeup and not snacks? You wanna know why? Because she can earn a commission on these products and can't on Easter candy. And you can earn a bigger commission on more expensive products, that's why the bigger channels push more expensive skincare in their kids' "Easter baskets" (aka. mommy makes a basket for herself, or even more likely, mommy films a video then returns all the products back to the store).
My sister and I were just reminiscing on our flawless Easter baskets that our mom put together for us. A nail polish, bubbles, fresh crayons, sunglasses….. but we both agreed that our favorite item was the pinwheel. The pinwheel!! Kids are not complex! Gifts don’t have to be expensive to be special. Btw Hayley it warms my heart how often you speak of your parents. They raised a very cool person and it’s cool how open you are about your love for them. ❤
So on a day when kids should enjoy being able to treat themselves and have fun you give them a basket full of warnings that “you’re gonna wrinkle” or “you’re not drinking enough water” or “you need… 6 pairs of shoes… for some reason?”
As a kid myself, my parents and I and my sibling/siblings all enjoy the easter egg hunts especially when we do it with friends! Nothing wrong with same old classic easter fun that was here since the late 16th century!
I'll admit that I do spoil my stepkids for Easter, but this is just INSANE. My stepkids and my son-in-law are all adults, so it's hard to only fill the basket with some candy and dollar store toys, BUT I can't wrap my head around spending thousands of dollars on Easter - I don't even spend that on Christmas!!!
As a 19 y/o I can assure you most people would be more than happy to receive a basket full of chocolate eggs and bunnies. Trust me, that the whole point of Easter!!
I'm 19. I got jelly bellys, York peppermint patties, and a bag of mini dark chocolate bunnies. These 13 year olds are getting items of more collective monetary value in ONE Easter basket than what I get for Christmas. Most of it is stuff they don't even need. These parents are insane.
As a teen, I would love chocolate on Easter. My family doesn’t celebrate it anymore, but when I was little I got an LOL surprise, a chocolate bunny, and maybe a few little pieces of chocolate. That little treat made my week.
4:46 I’m 13. And if I got this basket, without any type of candy or chocolate I’d be absolutely devastated and I would CONTINUOUSLY guilt trip my mom. I thought Easter was just all about colouring eggs making cute designs, hunt for your chocolates and lollies and get what you get at the end. Not whatever this misery is..
I grew up in the 80s. Our Easter eggs had 5 cents in it 😂 and yes we went to the shop and there were lollies you could buy for that much. The little fish and chip shops used to sell lollies for 1&2 cents each.
It's more important than Christmas I think! Christmas is when Jesus was born and Easter is when the purpose of his birth was fulfilled. As a Christian myself I find it kind of icky/unsettling to go to this level of gift buying for such an important religious day. Why are these kids getting baskets worth upwards of $200? 😅 The majority of people don't celebrate the religious aspect of it so I don't really understand why they are going to these lengths to celebrate a "bunny holiday"
I remember my parents getting me a Gameboy Advance game for Easter one year. She got one game for me and one for my brother. It was Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire versions way back in the early 2000's. Other items we got were candy, mostly those malt candies and jellybeans, and a few stuffed animals. I wish people would keep Easter baskets to toys and sweets. Games are the higher end item and will last longer than some harmful makeup/skincare. It would be sad to see traditions like egg hunts and egg painting go away. I cherished those activities with my family.
I’ve only gotten one Easter basket in my life when I was like 7 and I got chocolate, some jelly beans, and maybe a little plush. Getting an iPhone and skincare is crazy
Me and my sister are almost 18 years old and both get chocolate bunny’s and Reese’s eggs every year. Absolutely NO complaints, chocolate and candy is for Easter.
i didnt get a basket but i did get a bag of easter candy from my nana. it was a bag of chocolate eggs, two packs of peeps, and a container of cotton candy.
I’m on the older side of Gen Alpha and I get a basket, an egg hunt, and something that I can do outside for Easter. I got some lip tint I wanted this year but what I really cared about was the caramel filled chocolate bunnies. I really don’t see the point of skincare, sometimes it even makes your skin worse.
If I was twelve and I got skincare in my Easter basket I would’ve thrown that basket out the window Even a plastic cup from the Dollar Store sounds better than anything in these Easter baskets 💀
I'm 17 (Turning 18 in 8 days woooo!!!!). My family and I still do Easter baskets despite me almost being an adult. This year my mom gave me a bunch of candy and chocolates and an adorable little purple Peeps bunny plush. She does this every year. The entire basket is candy plus ONE non-candy item that is generally less than $10 (usually around $5 even) like those cheap but cute holiday bracelets at Claire's or those iconic lip smackers flavored lip balms and whatnot. As much as I love skincare, makeup, and fancy things, Easter wouldn't feel the same without the candy and a little inexpensive but thoughtful gift. You don't need fancy stuff to make Easter a fun holiday, even when you're an older teen. If I want fancy stuff, I'll go buy it myself or request it for CHRISTMAS or my birthday, not Easter.
my mom did this for holidays: New years- those sparkling grape juices and some new year headbands Valentines- balloons and whatever i got from school in my little box Easter- a free local church egg hunt and a walmart candy basket with a stuffy (same eggs for like 12 years) Bday- a free local pool and a walmart cake July 4th- some family grilling Halloween- a spirit halloween costume and trick or treating (repeating costumes if needed) Thanksgiving- a family get together and a nice food feast with whatever anyone brought Christmas- whatever gifts they could afford and family time and candy. that’s it simple, no skin care cause kids don’t break out and they don’t need it and i was focused on food and candy.
I'm 25 and literally bought myself a whole lot of chocolates this Easter. And when I was a kid, my mom and dad got me easter baskets. Though, I think in one year, in 2009, they got me two American Girl dolls, Gwen and Sonali after getting the Girl of the Year, Chrissa for my birthday. Though, that didn't happen any other year.
I'd like to share some wisdom with these people, not just for Easter but for 'round the year. Just because something is "cute," or worse, "super cute," does not mean that you have to buy it. Your house is not the "cute" museum. When I realized that just because I liked something it didn't mean I had to buy it, my life got considerably less complicated. I literally say to myself, I do not need this ... I am not the museum of vintage video games, or comic books, or Star Wars figures, or ... fill in the blank. (Edit: It also helps with decluttering the house. I am not the museum of empty cardboard boxes, or twist ties, or old magazines, or tennis balls, or plastic containers that the yogurt came in. Instant decluttered house. Okay that's all.)
I got a basket full of chocalate eggs and kinder chocolates and the one thing I got that wasn't a sweet treat was a little easter bunny squish mellow I loved my basket so much xx
Hayley you have to be my favorite youtuber. I agree with you probably 99% of the time! No matter what video I see that you posted I watch it knowing it will be a great video! Keep going I LOVEEEE your videos so much! Also this is crazy like I 100% agree with you I don't want skincare and makeup. I do play with it once in a while but I just play with it. All I want for Easter is candy, egg hunts , and hot chocolate for breakfast.
My daughter turned nine today and about two months ago she told me that she didn't want a birthday party but instead wants to renovate her playroom (she has a separate playroom because the two rooms downstairs are tiny)...I have to admit I was surprised and did ask her many time's if she's sure about it so yeah when she's with her dad I will be renovating her room but she still got a view presents from us...if you can spoil your kid's it's fine but I think there should be a limit no matter how much money you have...It can only benefit them in the long run...oh and the renovation of her room will be her Easter and birthday present in one from me and I have many diy surprises planned for her 😍😍I can't wait to see her reaction
@@laikanbarthim saying I’m not interested in skincare stuff like that and I only have an iPhone 6 so no one tell me I’m sooo spoiled I think I’m spoiled already with an iPhone 6
I mostly saw parents and grandparents buying baskets, candy, fake grass, and plastic eggs for their children and grandchildren at my local Wal-Mart this past Easter. I'm thinking that the moms on Tiktok are just showing off on how much they spent on their kids!
Literally all I've ever gotten in my Easter basket is candy and maybe a little Easter-themed stuffed animal, and I'm perfectly happy with that. These baskets are insane 😭
I never heard of anyone getting gift baskets on Easter when I was a kid and my family stopped celebrating Easter altogether decades ago. If I wasn't so poor, I'd celebrate it as one of the Candy Holidays (which also include Valentine's and Halloween).
American here, my little brother still does Easter stuff. We load the baskets up with chocolates and a stuffed animal, hide them, and then search, but only for the baskets, but for the almost 40 eggs collected over the years, filled with chocolates.
Idk maybe i’m spoiled but my mom would get me a monster high doll or barbie doll because i’m not a person who goes for candy. This year she took me to cvs and let me get eyeliner, nail polish and 2 squish mallows. Is that bad? lol.
lol I got my 4 year old some coloring books and crayons, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, a squishmallow and candy and she acted like it was Christmas morning.
I feel like my mother always spoiled me with Easter since it was her favorite holiday though it's moreso some candy and a couple little toys, she carried on the tradition even into my adulthood and now does the same with my siblings. Although she's noticed my siblings are difficult, kids just don't play with toys much anymore once in elementary school which is rather sad. My ten year old sister (who is not allowed social media) still asks for the drunk elephant and Stanley cups. I understand the kiddy fads but it's just a bit strange in my opinion to expect really expensive skincare from the Easter bunny.
