    Re: Giant Plastic Easter Eggs

    I am not sure how big theirs were but I saw some last year at the dollar store and before that I think they were at Big Lots.  They were probably about 10-12" tall.  I will keep my eye out for some and let you know if I see some anywhere this year.

    thanks, I checked the Dollar store and big lots yesterday.  My friend said she found them years ago at Wal-Mart, but so far can't find any. Yes, please let me know if you find them.

    ThanksYes

    Garden Ridge had them a couple of weeks ago which would make me think Hobby Lobby would have them, too. Garden Ridge had some different kind that I got. They feel like they're made out of card board are pastel colors with specks on them. Have you looked on the Collection etc website that seems like something they might have. I'll keep my eyes open also.

    Re: Giant Plastic Easter Eggs

    I found some today at Dollar Tree.  We have two in the same town and only one had them.  They arent as big as the ones that I had before but still a pretty good size. They are probably about 6-8" high. Here is a quick pick I took with Chloe.  They only had yellow green and lavender.

    shutterbugging64,

    I'm going to Garden Ridge today. If you want I can pick some up for you if you've not found any yet and ship them to you. They had the big plastic kind 12" I think. The only thing is they had raised images on one side like a chick or a bunny. They were 3.99 if I remeber correctly. These are the ones I got there I liked them much better than the plastic ones. They had 2 sizes these are the larger ones. I might get the other size today. We will be leaving in a couple of hours and since it's a 2 hour trip up there, it's not something I can run and go pick up so I hope you see this post before I leave. I'll check back right before I leave.

    That's a 3-ring binder to kinda show you th size of the eggs.

    Re: Giant Plastic Easter Eggs

    We just got back. I'm glad you found them. The Garden Ridge I went to was sold out of both kinds. I did find some really cute wash tubs though.

    What's Garden Ridge?  Is that just a regional store, as I've never heard of it up here.

    Re: Giant Plastic Easter Eggs

    Here's a link to their sales paper(I think) http://www.gardenridge.com/locator.asp It's an everything store. Kinda reminds we of a Big Lots and Hobby Lobby combined.

    Re: Giant Plastic Easter Eggs

    I was going to post the same thing!  I can't find them anywhere (WalMart, Target, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree, JoAnne's).  Haven't checked Big Lots, and we don't have any of the other stores mentioned.

    If someone would pick me up some, I'll pay you back!!
