I rely heavily on presentation more than substance for lots of things. A basket of any kind is one of those places - the excitement for my kids is really all about how it looks, not about what's actually in it. So their baskets this year were comprised of a $1 toy bunny ball shooter, a $.50 pack of gum (from the clearance section of the grocery store), a couple of peanut butter eggs (a $1 bag split between the two kids), and a $1 chocolate bunny. This all sat on top of a fabric Easter bag stuffed with about 25 plastic bags, to make the basket look full. Did they care? I'm not sure because they were already halfway through a chocolate bunny by the time they cared to notice. I'm not sure how long I can get away with duping them into not receiving much, but I'm definitely going to take advantage of it while I can.
