With just over a week until Easter, families are starting to plan for how to spend the holiday under the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic.
With many stores closed during the coronavrius outbreak, parents will turn to online shopping to fill their Easter baskets.
"This is our first Easter with a kid, so his Easter basket is made up of things we ordered online," said Jill Stackhouse-Frechette, who teaches English as a second language online from her home in New Hampshire to children in China. Typically, the NRF releases its Easter spending survey a few weeks before the holiday. Last year, the trade group estimated those celebrating would spend an average of $151 per person, and about eight in 10 U.S. adults were participating in the festivities.
Despite millions of layoffs and furloughs, consumers strapped for cash will make room in their budgets for some treats and decorations for their kids, she said. But they won't be looking for extravagant gifts or experiences.
