My Easter Basket (2011)

[Emperor Megas]

Continuing in our tradition, I received another game themed Easter Basket this morning. This year it was a Super Mario theme again. I don't usually get repeat themes, but with the release of the 25th Anniversary Edition SMB Wii it was a welcome revisiting (I would have gotten an Anniversary Edition Wii for Christmas, but we didn't exchange gifts for Christmas last year). Shamefully, I just realized that she painted the basket metallic gold; that's pretty awesome. Big thanks to the other half!



I haven't gone through it completely yet, but from what I can see there's:

• 25th Anniversary Wii Console
• Super Mario Bros. All-Stars for Wii
• Little Goomba Beanie Hat
• Power Up Mushroom Chain Wallet
• Wii Console Shaped Gift Card Holder
• Box of Assorted Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
• Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs
• Assorted Super Mario Bookmarks (?)
• Super Mario Wrist bands
• Bob-omb Candy Dispenser
• Starman Mini Plushies
• Wii 2000 Points Gift Card
• 2 bags of Brach's Bridge Mix

My Baskets from previous years: 2010 HALO, 2009 Resident Evil, 2008 Zelda, 2007 Super Mario

I usually get my partner an Isabella Fiore purse for her Easter Basket, but this year we set a budget cap, so I got her a Pullip Doll ("Lolita" from 2010 -- she's wanted to start collecting, this will be her first), a Pullip Style Book and carry tote, some assorted candies, a Dove chocolate faerie bunny, and a few lottery scratch offs.

Her basket this year has a flower theme. I also wired it with LEDs for dramatic effect, which was a first:



Her baskets from previous years: 2010 Birds, 2009 Butterflies

We also gave my mother-in-law a basket this year (there's a few boxes of Tasty Kakes in there, since she's originally from Philly):



We have family in town, so I'm going to cook breakfast for everyone in a bit, then we're going to cook out later today (veggie burgers, FTW!). If/However you all celebrate, I hope you all have a Happy Easter.

Did anyone else give or receive games for the holiday, BTW? A few mentioned last year that they might.

EDIT: I just realized that I'm posting this is in the Classic Gaming forum -- probably because the last thread about Easter Baskets was. I did get a copy of Mario All-Stars, which is classic, and the 25th anniversary Wiis are a throwback, if that counts. :^p Feel free to move it if it's inappropriate.
