Easter

[mouth]

Hi all. Does anybody know about Dove chocolate for easter? How about Peeps?

Please let me know... At least my daughter is old enough-- dont need to get her a bunny she says. This is the last year for a basket..

Last time I checked, both Dove & Peeps are OK. Also, all of See's Candies, except for their malt truffles, are gluten free. None of the Godiva chocolates are.

Dear Lynn,

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans (except the cinnamon toast flavor are safe)

Marshmallow Peeps

Cadbury Creme Eggs

Cadbury Caramel Eggs

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Eggs (not the small ones, only regular size)

Skittles

M&Ms (regular and peanut)

Starbursts

This should give your child a nice basket of goodies! Also, there are some non-food items you child might enjoy:

Coloring books

Crayons

Markers

Activity Books

Quarters in some of the plastic eggs

Things a girl would like:

A cool keychain

sunglasses

A small stuffed toy like a bunny

Hair barrettes

A trendy stretch bracelet

A get out of chore free card

Some things a boy would like:

Trading cards of his favorite sports heroes

A cool keychain

Get out of chore free card

A cool wrist watch

Some neat sunglasses

A stuffed animal or action figure

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Thanks for the reminder that it's not just the candy! I find that so much of our lives revolve around food... and candy... A little bunny and a deck of cards with some time with Mom and/or Dad to play with them is probably much more appreciated!

Thank you so much for all your help. I didn't even think of "girly" things to put in her basket.. I hope you are feeling well these days.

Dear mamatide,

We do tend to let food dominate us. It is hard not letting it! My parents used to get me all kinds of stuff I love. Markers and colored pens are some of my favorites. I have always loved to draw and write. So, you can imagine I grew up to be an artist. We got food as well. My grandmother one time made me a money tree. She took a little bucket, and filled it with gravel and a small branch from the bushes or something at their house. Then she hung plastic Easter eggs filled with quarters! It was neat! My parents sometimes got me make-up, which I love as well.

Dear Lynn,

You are welcome! I used to babysit a lot as a teenager. I loved putting stuff together for them. It does not matter if it was Halloween or what, it was always a good excuse to buy stuff and have fun! Girly things are great if your daughter is like me. If she loves to play dress up, wear make-up, and look pretty, there are a lot of options! Food is great too, but it does not last long! The candy goes quick. Sometimes it is nice to have something to hold on to. Have a great Easter!

Hey NoGluGirl,

Thanks again. I got my daughter 2 pocket books (purses) and candy she could have. Loved it.. Doesn't care for make up-- yet.. Only 7th grade. Probably next year.. talk soon.

Dear Lynn,

I am glad your girl had a great Easter! Those pocket books are fun to have! There are more options than we tend to acknowledge! You are right, she may be interested in the make-up next year. It varies, though. I loved wearing make-up and wearing heels at three! My grandfather was amazed that I did cartwheels in them! I treated myself to a nice 3Musketeers bar! I got to have a dark chocolate Hershey bar the day before. I have to stop those though, because they have milk. I cannot have it anymore either. I discovered that recently. At least there is the Chocolate Emporium for dairy free, gluten free confections! The prices are not bad, really. Try the cake mixes! They are great! Take care and write soon!
