Jeannie writes: “Handwritten coupons – good for a batch of cookies, no chores for a day, a trip to Baskin Robbins, A Slurpee, etc.  My boys love them!”

Tammy writes: “I stuff the stockings full of cute little toys, Christmas Candy, gifts, etc.  We wrap each item individually as we put them in the stockings.  We write names on the gifts with glitter pens.  The squeals, oohs and ahhs are priceless, as we sit and watch them dig into their stockings and open each wrapped gift.  It’s such a fun task to shop for the gifts, and a joy to watch on Christmas Day.”

Lacey writes: “A Book Light and Ear Buds are on my list this year.”

Marisol writes: “I stock up on free samples all year long for this.  I keep in mind the age of each recipient – candy, perfume, cologne, lotions, stickers, cereal, beauty products, granola bars, coloring books, kid tattoos, pencils, crayons, cookies, toothbrushes, shampoo, and small toys. That’s just naming a few things I already have!  Wrap these individually with small bits of left over wrapping paper to save even more!”

Kiersten writes: “Coal… haha, just kidding! If I find clearance items throughout the year, (like Hot Wheels, crafts, lip gloss, candies, hair bows, etc.) I buy them and keep them til Christmas!  Also, last year I won a few giveaways from blogs… including kid’s CDs and DVDs!  I added those in the stockings, too!”

Mandy writes: “$5.00 gift cards to ice cream shops, coffee houses, etc. and movie passes!”

Cathy writes: “We do a thing called St. Nick here… so they don’t get stocking stuffers at Christmas, but they get them a few weeks before.  We do lip gloss, Chapstick, and nail polish.  My daughter loves Taco Bell and Hobby Lobby, so we usually get her a gift card for both of those places.”

Kanda writes: “I usually put in a new toothbrush, but my kids love the little chocolate covered peppermint bark.”

Susan writes: “I have a 3 year old and a 12 year old granddaughter.  The little one gets Fruit Snacks, small chunky books, hair clips, socks, Dollar Tree jewelry, and bottles for her baby. The 12 year old gets nail polish, stickers, hair clips, a gift card to the Dollar Tree, Chapstick, and socks. They both get new toothbrushes every year.”

Tamra writes: “I get a smaller toy that corresponds with whatever else my daughter is getting.  Like the baby Zhu Zhus or the Little Barbies, etc.  Also, candy in fun dispensers!”

Jenn writes: “I give my munchkins bathroom staples in their stockings.  You can count on toothbrushes, band aids, and kids shampoo in your stocking if you’re my kiddo.”

Amelia writes: “My mom always put little toothpastes and deodorants in my stocking growing up.  When I was young, I was like seriously mom!  But now I absolutely love it, because if I run out I still have those little travel sized ones until I get to the store.”

Homemade Silly Putty

Heather writes: “For my 7 year old son, I usually do Silly Putty, Matchbox cars, mini Lego packs, Card Games, tattoos, stickers, pop g*ns, and some candy.  I don’t like to put in any kind of junk that will just be clutter and not really played with.  My daughter is 16; she gets body spray, make-up, nail polish, lip gloss, fun socks, flowers for her hair, earrings… Forever 21 has all this stuff cheap!”

Shelley writes: “My daughter is into softball and I do a theme stocking.  Softballs, hair elastics, gloves, etc.”

Julie writes: “Beef Jerky, Pringles, Razors, and Flashlights for the high school age boys.”

Patti writes: “Funky flashlights. Big and small.”

Melinda writes: “You can get a lot of nice stuff at a dollar store.”

Ashley writes: “Dollar Tree finds!  I got a toy gumball machine for my 4 year old!”

Joyce writes: “I get kid’s meals (at McDonalds, Chik-fil-a, etc.) for myself at lunchtime throughout the year and keep the good toys for stockings.  My kids are 2 and 4.  We don’t eat out much with them, so it’s working so far.”

Kristi writes: “Batteries for any games/toys they are getting or already have, an apple and an orange (family tradition and probably the only healthy thing they eat Christmas morning).  Any tiny toys, jewelry or makeup they’re receiving.  Also, I wrap everything separately.  More work for me, but then they have LOTS to unwrap.  Even the wrapped batteries bring smiles, because they’re either guessing what they’re going to get or planning on where to use them. :-)”

Melanie writes: “My parents usually put candy, a gift card, toothbrush, fine jewelry, and eye makeup remover in our stockings. We also sometimes get socks and a cute knick-knack!”

Lena writes: “This year I did glow in dark ceiling stars for one, solar system poster and planet model for one to color and a paper plane kit book and of course apples, because they don’t like oranges”

Rebecca writes: “We always got the little boxes of cereal… only time of year we ever got them!  Certainly made them special!  Bath Poufs, Mini Lotions, Chapstick, and my brother always got a small Lego set.”

And finally… Casarella writes: “Sooo… my eight year old *loves* spicy food… and Santa has been known to include tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce in her stocking…”
