You’ve got a few days left before Easter, and the Dollar Store has been more than helpful loading up your children’s Easter baskets. There are all the springtime outdoors stuff like pastel colored jump ropes with handles shaped like bunnies, games with a million pieces with chick- and bunny-shaped game pieces, and don’t forget the candy. Soooo much candy! I’ve finished a couple bags of the chocolate candy bars that are the same old candy bars, just in a pastel packages, but cost a dollar more. I can’t help myself. You can even go the easy route. Stores have made it easy for you. They package up themed baskets, from teeny tiny size, to the baskets bigger than most cars that most obviously say, “Hey, I’m a dysfunctional parent, but please forgive me with this year's supply of chocolate and an unsafe archery kit tucked inside this toy box in a basket.” If you don’t have children or just particularly love your pet, you don’t have all those options to get an Easter basket just for them. You have to go about it on your own unless you find some last second sales gimmick thrown together at the local pet store. (*Note to self: Create gimmicky Easter baskets next year to sell at the front desk). Here’s a list of some last minute ideas if you’d like to get your special pet something delivered by the leader of their favorite prey, the Easter Bunny:
I hope this gives you some good tips for throwing that last second Easter basket together. You might as well grab something for yourself while you’re picking up a good basket for this display. An extra large bag of chocolate bars sounds good, but if chocolate’s not your thing, get the bag anyway and drop it off at my clinic with a bottle of Moscato and a cheeseburger. It’s going to be a busy day, and I need snacks and a happy hour to look forward to.
