    Thank you, thank you! I’m having a baby next month, and I was just thinking that I need some Hot Wheels for my 2 1/2 year old (so when everyone is paying attention to the baby, he gets something too) – something small and cheap, but utterly entertaining to a little boy! Thanks for compiling these lists!
    P.S. Please no comments about the fact that Hot Wheels are for ages 3+. Thanks!

    Amy both my girls love Hot Wheels. I didn’t even know they were 3+- my 2 yo especially loves them 🙂

    Woo hoo! Awesome post! I have some great ideas now! And for what it’s worth my kids played with Hot Wheels at 2 years as well. ; )

    I can’t find the Mars coupon either. Did it run out?

  9. Charlene says

    04/11/2011 at 2:44 PM

    Maybe it is out. I have mentioned this one over and over and over so hopefully most of you already printed it.

    Today at Target they had tons of cute board books on clearance for 75% off in the electronic section; 2 different touch and feel books and 2 kinds of counting books for $1.25 ea. Also they had baby and toddler socks (purple, pink with skulls, camo, teal and others) 50% off for .50 ea. I am adding those all to an easter basket for my neice…

    Did anyone in the sacramento area get the crayola q? I looked through my inserts several times and could not find it.

  14. Charlene says

    04/11/2011 at 8:44 PM

    Laura I didn’t get it.

    I found those cute easter baskets on another website, slightly cheaper. They are made by Buckhead Betties, and I found then on a website called AnythingJoes.com for $15.99, and I placed the order on the phone and shipping was around $5.00. Just wanted to let anyone else that was interested know…

    Love this list! Thanks so much for the sneak peek at next week’s deals — this is so helpful!

  17. diane says

    Thanks for the list! Although i cant see paying 15.99 for an easter basket we had a slightly different tradition over here–we use “baskets” such as book bags for overnights to nanas house, or this year a baseball bag. so we always use something “useful” per say! just letting a thought out there! 😉

  18. Charlene says

    Diane I do too. I can’t stand Easter Baskets myself because it is just more junk I will throw away 😛 I use one of the 8 million baskets I already have and put ribbon on it.

    Thanks so much for this post….I’ll be heading out this weekend with coupons in hand to finish up baskets for the kids!! I can’t stand Easter baskets either….in fact a couple years ago we started a new tradition (which was easy at the time with a 3 yr old and a newborn) that they put their OWN baskets out every year before they go to bed and the Easter Bunny comes by and fills it! It works well for me and I can put the $5-$10 I would spend on each basket towards little toys or more candy (for me…heehee!!) Happy Easter Everyone!!

    Kathie- I love those Easter baskets. They are so much cuter than the traditional plastic Easter baskets and they will store very easy too! My husband still has the basket he used as a kid and we still use it every year for him. It means alot as his grandparents bought it for him and they have both since passed on. There are somethings just worth spending the extra money on for the memories that will last forever. Thanks for the find.
    Jeanne : -)
