Did you know that Easter is the second top-selling candy holiday? It’s second only to Halloween. If you want to go in a different direction/stay away from the sugary treats, why not fill your kids’ baskets with one of the following treats? (They are all recession-friendly/affordable/less than $10.)
As a special treat, one lucky Mom in the City reader will receive six of the items (the starred ones).
Books
1. Barefoot Books (Varies): Recently, a Mom in the City member gifted two of this company’s books to my sons (thanks Junnie!). They had me read the books over and over again, especially Bear on a Bike ($6.99).
2. *Good Egg by Barney Saltzberg ($9.95): This hardcover book is so adorable. See for yourself:
3. *Only Hearts Club – Hardbound Books($4.00): These hardbound book are 4″ x 6″ and are illustrated with real color photographs of the Only Hearts Girls™ acting out various stories. (The winner will receive Dancing Dilemma.)
Games
4. *Milton Bradley Junior Puzzles ($1.99+): There are a variety of images to choose from including animals and popular characters. (The winner will receive a 24 piece puzzle of 2 chicks.)
5. *Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish Card Game ($4.99): Kids will enjoy playing this classic matching card game featuring LITTLEST PET SHOP pet images.
Toys
6. Mr. Potato Head Spud Bunny ($4.99): There’s something about a Mr. Potato Head… I gave one of these ones that change into a bunny to my little nephew while he was over our home visiting. It was interesting seeing how everyone (grown-ups included!) kept playing with his new toy. In fact, I might need to get another one, because Sean kept trying to “steal” it up until he left claiming that it was “my toy”.
7. *Only Hearts Pets ($3.99): These little (they are only 2″ tall!) pets are very soft and cute. There are a lot of different ones for kids (of all ages) to collect. (The winner will receive Wooly the Lamb.)
8. *PLAY-DOH Spring Chicks 2-Pack ($1.99): Each of the chick containers comes with two ounces of PLAY-DOH inside. They also have stampers with cute baby chick designs.
To enter this special one week giveaway, please tell me one of your favorite spring or Easter treats (it can be a candy, toy, game, book, etc.) in the “Comments” section below by Wednesday, April 8th at noon.
