Very small egg for GC and something like a new T shirt or shorts ready for Summer. Nothing for adults but we always have a special homemade Easter cake.

I don't have any problems with a small egg or other present for children, but not happy with the same for adults. I don't buy for adults, even my daughter, in my family but now have been drawn into another family's traditions and don't know how to withdraw without upsetting anyone.

Just eggs here too, I know a grandparent who gives a small gift instead of an egg, she says they get so many her daughter asked the GC had paints instead one year, and she has continued, but it’s only to the price of an egg.

I buy the parents and children one egg each.

Just Easter eggs. Why complicate things?

I send some money for Easter eggs or whatever they want to buy with it. I've never considered Easter a time for present giving. In the days when I was a church-goer, it was a far more serious time than Christmas and although I am now a Humanist, I still adhere to older traditions.

Easter is for Easter eggs in our family. We can do without a second Christmas when there are 7 children involved.

Really! I buy small GC an egg or money if the parents prefer certainly no gifts.

Sorry,I didn't type "they transmitters" but Gransnetters and not " 0 my" but only !

Do they transmitters but presents at Easter ? In my family we o my bought Easter Eggs for children, but my daughter has married a man whose family treats it as another Christmas, and I have been included in the receiving and consequently the giving.
