I’m watching a video by Zac Rios about people buying lavish Easter Baskets for their kids and such:

I know there’s an Easter hunt in school and for kids and stuff, but I’ve never received or heard anyone receiving an Easter basket as a gift living in Canada/UK for the past 40 years of my life.

I googled and “Google AI” says that it is a thing in Canada, but I don’t trust it.

Is this a thing that I’ve completed missed? If this is a tradition for you, where are you from and how long have you done this?

    Ontario here. I grew up with easter baskets and an egg hunt every year, and now I do the same for my kids.

    I’ve never seen crazy baskets like on the video! Our Easter baskets are small, around the size of a cooking pot. We fill plastic eggs with chocolates or other candies and hide them in the house; the kids use their baskets to hold their collected eggs (and to easily keep track of whose treats are whose). Usually there’s just an extra treat or two in the basket, like a chocolate bunny. Nothing crazy and certainly nothing expensive.

    Easter is first and foremost a religious holiday for us, so the egg/bunny stuff is just a fun sidebar – definitely not the focus.
