Let’s collect stocking stuffer ideas for our kiddos all in one place!
Please list your LO’s age and your ideas.
-
DS will be 3 by Christmas! He’s already mastered the concept of seeing something and requesting that it be added to his list
So far he’s asked for that black tape that makes a road, Swedish Fish, a small 6 piece LEGO kit that makes a race car, and this weird toy he saw on tv that’s like a surprise egg or hatchimal but it’s in a plastic banana
-
DD will be 18 months just a few days after Christmas. We are going to be giving her Little People (Disney princess, TBD based on cost), a hair brush, toothpaste, hair bows, and a book. Maybe (and that is a big MAYBE) some fruit snacks.
-
@wrkbrk: Where did you find the small lego kit? DS1 would probably love that.
I am loving the holiday threads because I don't have a lot of good ideas yet. For DS1 (3 years) he'll get socks, a new toothbrush, some type of candy or treat, a random pick up from the target dollar spot (a ball/balloon thing), and the worlds smallest vacuum (tiny dustbuster that I found in PBK and he's obsessed with ours), and a new thomas engine (I bought a bunch of them used and have been doling them out at holidays).
DS2 (10 months) - new socks, yogurt melts, puffs, new plastic bowls (basically all stuff that I would have bought anyway)
-
6 year old: Underwear, slime, barrel of monkeys, a book, bath bombs, a Harry Potter mini figure, toothpaste and toothbrush, a new calendar, a small Christmas candy and coins in the toe of the stocking.
-
3 1/2 year old:
- St. Nick (12/5) shoe: Christmas/holiday pajamas and socks, maybe a holiday craft, something sweet/snacky?
- Santa stocking: new crayola markers, lip balm/chapstick, ornament, bedtime pillow sprayNewborn:
- St. Nick shoe: Christmas/holiday pajamas
- Santa stocking: (Edited) Did some research... Indestructible book maybe, baby linking rings. -
My son's stocking is one of those HUGE ones and he's 8 years old so:
Bottle of Minion Body wash
pack of toothbrushes
hair brush
sunglasses
pez dispenser for his collection
card game
math manipulatives of some sort -
@looch: My son just got his first pez dispenser! Obsessed.
-
@LindsayInNY: Pillow spray is an excellent idea!
-
@wrkbrk: My MIL got into the essential oils and made a bedtime spray for DD that she likes. I don't know if it works per se but she likes using it. I think it's just lavender and maybe distilled water? The spray bottles are from Amazon (2 or 4oz sizes). I might ask her to make another otherwise just buy online... I've heard of people making a "monster spray" too if your kid is afraid of things (monsters, darkness, etc.).
-
@LindsayInNY: I love the idea. We also diffuse essential oils and make some in small spray bottles. We could easily create a bedtime one for him!!
-
Books, bath toys (major need new ones and I'm holding out till Christmas), slippers, caved and bought the small hatchnimal eggs cause it was on sale, got some small Disney princess toys on clearance a while back too. Oh and I saw Twisty Pets on TV and I think my almost 4 year old will really like it.
-
We only do stockings and one big shared gift.
DD almost 5:
Glow sticks
Uno and Old Maid
A light up Christmas necklace
Finger puppets
Maybe a kid camera, if I can find it on saleDD 20 months:
Glow sticks
Melissa and Doug pull back cars
Melissa and Doug ice cream cones
Christmas necklaceAnd maybe some temporary tattoos.
-
@snowjewelz: Where do you find cute LO slippers?
-
@wrkbrk: Last year they came from Target but I actually see a bunch of cute/cheap ones from Walmart!
-
@snowjewelz: I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Walmart. They have excellent toddler socks. Cheap and thin enough (I hate thick socks for wearing inside tennis shoes)!
-
DD will turn 4 just before Christmas, so far for her stocking I am thinking:
Flashlight
Fuzzy Socks
Underwear
Fun scissors
Plastic figures - dinosaurs, farm animals, etc.
New hair clips
Candy or small treat -
Bumping my own thread because I’m actually filling his stocking now! Added some Hershey’s kisses, a book, and two small transformers!
You?
-
@wrkbrk: we do stockings morning of dec 6 so ours are all done. Kids each got a stamp w stamp pad, bubble bath, squishy toy, gold chocolate coins, small coloring kit, and one got nail polish one got a car. Majority of this was target dollar spot
-
@gotkimchi: Is that St Nick’s Day? Fun! I need to look up that tradition ...
-
@wrkbrk: yah st nicks! He comes the night of the 5 so on the 6th is when we do stockings. That’s what we did growing up - might be sort of regional? But I like that it spaces things out a little
