    I'll be 41 this year, my Mum still gets me an Easter Egg and an Advent Calendar. 
    She also buys my husband an egg and advent calendar too

    Mum still buys me one and I buy her one.

    Why not, age is irrelevant we are still mother and son

    (and we both love Easter egg chocolate)

    My father in law still gets us (his son and myself one).. we’re in our 20s and it’s only a couple of quid per egg (cadburys egg etc). We still love it and it’s tradition for when we go visit the parents in Ireland! Never too old! 
  • My Mum still buys us an egg, eldest sibling is mid 50's.

    My Daughter 19 has said she doesn't want an egg this year so I'm going to improvise and get her some Japanese and Korean food instead. 
    One son has asked for pickled eggs, so he has a jar to take back to uni but still got him a chocolate egg.

    What is it with kids nowadays — thought it was just our son who is partial to an Easter Pork Pie !!

    early 50's here and my ma has sent us an Easter box, which will contain eggs I'm sure, amongst other goodies.
    DD is 20, and I've bought her an egg and heck, bought DH and myself one too ...

    I buy for my parents who are late 80s usually a small egg each and a planter for the garden. Also just gave DS and his girlfriend mugs filled with mini eggs and they are both mid 20s.

    First year I've not bought my 60+ husband one as we're on a cruise.  I think this might make it a permanent stop which would be great.  He's diabetic and really shouldn't be eating Cadbury cream eggs!!! (yes, plural)
