[Layla]

What sort of things do you put in stockings each year for your children?

I tend to put the same things in each year so im looking for new ideas

Hmm is harder as they get older i think
Jack is hardly going to have anything in his LOL
For Emily and Jack i bought these cute little snowmen cups with straws from Adsa 97p
Tends to lipglosses(girly barley there) gel pens, notebooks stuff like that oh and of course a satsuma

 

[Layla]

satsuma!

I normaly buy choc coins, pens, cups etc

This year i have brought bath bombs and a snow globe pen so far, will be getting chocy coins, thats a must lol but i dont know what else, we have so many xmas cups now lol

[ablaze]

[Jo]

Oh yeah choccie forgot that!!
Don't laugh at me satsuma it's tradition

What about a little purse for Charlie?
Socks and stuff?
Oh i dunno my head is mashed with Xmas already TBH

 

[Layla]

i can get lots of nice little bits for Charlie, but threr is nothing for boys, its annoying, think i might get a mag/comic for them each and put that in too

I get stuck too Layla, I have loads for Charlotte, like baby nappies/bottles etc, but SS is nearly 8, and we have got him a DS and some games, but it doesnt look much. I tried the pound shop today and everything is guns (no offence to any one,but I dont like kids with guns)
Id love some ideas too! I bought him a telescope for £8, but want some cheaper bits and bobs.

Layla,

Im not a kid anymore but my mom still does stockings for my Sister and I. Its always the same but here is usually what we get:

Gum, Toothbrushes, Candycanes, Lipgloss, Candy, Pens, and some sort of fun gadget. Like a little key chain game. The boys (hubby and sisters OH) Get boy stuff like, tools and stuff....

Now Im sitting here laughing cause I just realized these are stalkings for 27-35 year olds and you have Little Ones.... Now I feel silly....

 

[Layla]

lol its not silly Suz, i think thats sweet

[Tilly]

What about some cute little wooden toys
Sweets

Thats all I can think of, im not going to do this for Bethanie until she can appreciate it I don't think, although we've got her a personalised stocking so it'd be nice to put a few little bits in if any of you have any ideas!

 

[shamrockgirl4]

[Layla]

[Helen]

Yeah me too. That made me feel all Christmassy thinking about the satsumas!

 

[nutty]

I still get a stocking from my mum and haven't lived with her for 10 yrs! I always get a satsuma too and a walnut and a sugar mouse. Don't know why just always have, I don't like any of them but they make me smile every year.
