We have a personalised sack each (fabric material) that goes outside their bedroom door. Has the extra bits I have bought for them and it's from 'Mummy and Daddy'
Downstairs they get a small pile each which are the santa gifts. Usually what they have asked for and anything too big for their sack. Never more than 5-6 in this pile.
They also have a stocking hanging which will be little things like chocolate coins,socks, blind bags, dressing up jewellery.
As kids we always had a plastic sack in our bedrooms and a pile each downstairs but we never had stockings. Although my mum did do an afternoon box but I haven't kept that tradition.
