A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

Are Easter Baskets A Thing Where You're From? (lemmy.ca)

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?

As kids (living in the interior of BC) we did Easter egg hunts, but I don't think we did Easter goody baskets.

As an adult living in Saskatchewan I have a coworker who makes huge Easter baskets for her grandkids.

It could be a regional thing, or a religious thing, but some people just love going all-out on things.

Edit: just watched the video and I don't know anyone who makes Easter baskets like that....those are extreme. Usually it's dollarama stuff I think.
