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?

    If you don’t mind me asking whereabouts are you from? Feel free to be vague, we are on the internet after all.

    I see my friends hide Easter eggs all over the house and I run my mum did it when I was young one year at most. Do you still do it every year? To whom do you gift a basket to, is it children or is your partner or other family members or friends?

    I would hope that Dollarama and stuff would suffice. I think handcrafted stuff would be the best. The lavish baskets in the video, I would hope, are an exception!

        My dad’s from what used to be a small town outside Calgary, but is now just a suburb. My mum is from near Portage la Prairie. My dad’s side always did baskets and hiding eggs, my mum’s side thought it was silly and had never done it or heard of it growing up.
        I grew up in greater Vancouver, and I’d say it was a pretty solid 50/50 of friends who’s family did it.

        Edit: 🤔 Thinking about it further? My dad’s family are/were Protestant and my mum’s are/were Catholic. Might have something to do with that?
