Mom's on TikTok Have Taken "Easter Baskets" TOO FAR...

[@channelpink4376]

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.

[@coffee_2234]

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

[@withcharmtospare]

Not even a parent and it bums me out too

[@Peachy-es1cl]

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

[@TheRealCarlos-pi1dv]

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.

The fact that these parents are basically calling their daughters ‘ugly’ is kinda heartbreaking to me. My mom works in the beauty industry and she DOES NOT do the bs that these moms do! She buys me and my brother chocolates and sweets every year for Easter, and asks us again and again at the start of the year “do we want chocolates for Easter this year” She doesn’t force beauty “standards” and social standards onto me, she accepts me for how I am as a teenage girl who doesn’t care about, nor like beauty and makeup If my mom ever got me beauty products for Easter I’d cry in sadness Tbh I’m kind of glad I don’t have TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or the rest of those social media apps (more like hatred society, be perfect in every way media apps), it’s a shock what some children have turned into (same with parents), and a shame too.

[@Certified_prick]

I hate beauty and social standards, and I refuse to follow them. I honestly don’t get the point-. And also I have TikTok, Pinterest and yt. But I rarely use TikTok and when I’m actually using it I watch video game edits, and pinterest is for art references and memes.

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.

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!!

[@RayF6126]

My mom gave us lotion and that's it because we were outdoor kids and sometimes our skin got chapped.

[@3amhellbeast]

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...

[@loveupsidedown]

@@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.

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! 🤣

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 💕

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.

[@qwmx]

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

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

There’s always been those kids whose parents are going into debt for holidays, just to give their kid bragging rights.

This is from the perspective of an average millennial parent. Because none of use are out here doing all that!

"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."

My favorite Easter ever was when my Grandma Patty bought me the Paula Abdul 'Spellbound' cassettein my basket with the chocolate and jelly beans 😂😂

[@brittanyblue4495]

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. 😂

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!

[@CJ_slayz]

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.

Considering you can't eat those (at least I don't think so, haven't tried), it automatically is less sweet than literal candy.

[@RunnerTheWereDog]

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.

[@32-bitcloud]

Yooo, me and my sister got Ruby and Sapphire for Easter one year too.

[@Bandikit]

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.

[@-Meh_bunny-]

My mom makes us Easter baskets. They are a fun surprise to wake up to, but the usual stuff in there is a small squishmallow/ stuffed animal, Easter candys, (MAYBE EVEN) $5-10, perfume or lotion.

[@raimeyewens7518]

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

(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)?!

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"

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

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).

[@rav3nklaue736]

For Easter this year I was thrilled to get a book and then super excited to see my mom had hidden two more books behind it. I would hate to live a life where I wouldn’t be able to find joy in receiving the small gifts because I’d be so used to getting so much like these kids.

[@mrrandom3064]

Hayley is absolutely correct. That basket is MORE than my monthly mortgage payment 😵‍💫

[@mignonkaufman1258]

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.

I worked at an after school program last year, and I can confirm that the kids still want chocolate and maybe some little things like a stuffed animal. I bought some Easter eggs that came with little stuffed animals that were pretty cheap. All of the kids pre-k through fourth grade enjoyed them. It doesn’t take a thousand dollars to make a kid happy. Just find ways to have fun together. 😅

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?

[@kccrafts1]

I agree that basket was reasonable for a teen. But all that other crap is not acceptable

[@SnakeKillsDumbledorf]

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).

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.

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!
