Ok - ideas for stocking stuffers? What do you plan on buying? We will have a 10 month old and a 5.5 year old girl. I'm mostly struggling for the baby, but just curious what you plan on buying in general.

DD was 9 months at Christmas last year and we did bows, hats, socks, books, and fruit/veggie pouches.
No idea on the five year old!

Blind bags, mashems, character chapstick, play doh, new underwear and socks for our 4yo
Hat, mitten set, socks.... that's all I have so far for our 10 month old. I'll probably grab something toy like to put in for him as well...

I like to do themes for stockings, maybe that will give you some ideas? Or, I'd let the 5.5 year old pick out some stuff from the baby toy aisle at Target or something.

My 3 year old will be pretty easy, matchbox cars and dinosaur figures, new toothbrush.
Baby I'll probably skimp on since she won't know any different. Maybe some baby snacks/puffs/yogurt bites and some teething toys and/or headbands.

Our stockings come from Santa, so we try to buy inexpensive/practical items. This year Santa's giving: socks, chocolate, clementines, undies, mittens, travel lotion in a cute container, MLP and/or those grab bag-size eggs with the little plastic animal in it.

@NorthStar: Those socks are great - my son has a pair and he’s worn them as his “sleeping socks” every night for, like, 18 months and they’re still in great condition. I need to buy more because he’s getting too big for them.
I tend to go overboard on stockings (and possibly on Christmas in general). For my almost 4 year old and my close to 2 year old I’ve got books, a puzzle each, flashlights, a Buzz and Woody doll, a stuffed toy, a stick horse, some bubbles, bouncy balls, a toque, and a few other things. I know it’s too much and yet I do it every year.

@erinbaderin: Yeah, those socks look awesome. I received a coupon code by signing up for the newletter, but the dang thing won't work. So, i'll probably just buy off of amazon or something. They are adorable!

Everyone in our house gets a new toothbrush, socks or underwear, and some sort of sweets.
DD is 5.5. She will also get a book, earrings (just got her ears pierced in October), a craft to make, small game. Not sure what else, I'll see what I find when I start shopping!

3 & 5 year olds are getting kaleidoscopes (found them @ Homegoods), a Lalaloopsie paint can blind bag, Shopkins Lipsmackers, Gap cat socks, light up balls from the Target dollar spot, barrettes, some undies if they'll fit in....and anything else cute and little I happen to run across in the next few weeks, haha.
1 year old is getting the light up ball and cat socks, plus a slinky and maybe a Chelsea doll or My Little Pony in hopes she stops nabbing her sisters'.

For LO’s first Christmas I put puffs, toothbrush and toothpaste, and some other feeding things in his stocking.
This year I got him all the little PJ Masks characters because I know MIL got him Catboy and his car. I will likely add a toothbrush and toothpaste.
MIL does stockings for all of us. We each get socks and candy. Kids get little toys, sometimes underwear, maybe a stuffed animal. SIL, DH and I often get perfume/cologne or fun bath stuff.

@NorthStar: I've seen similar socks at Jane.com for a good price. You might look there! I got some for my nieces last year for christmas and they were a hit. I was even able to find hats that matched at Target (not exactly the same, but the same color/same animal)

@NorthStar: DD will be almost 1 at Christmas. Her stocking stuffers are loveys, socks, oball toy car and a baby phone.
Her presents are books and a personalized ornament. It’s her first Christmas and we know she’s going to be super spoiled so we went low-key with just a couple items we know she’ll like.

@NorthStar: When DD was 10 months old her stocking had bath toys, a chewable book, baby toothbrush, those yogurt dots and mum-mums I think. It's been a few years.

I just found a Heart of Te fiti replica on Etsy I think he’ll be in awe.
Otherwise will do some small books, underwear, maybe a couple matchbox cars and a mashem. Candy, of course. Maybe a new thermos funtainer or camelbak eddy, but that might be too much.

For my kids I usually do snacks/treats they like, toothbrush/toothpaste, character washcloths that I find at the dollar spot at Target or the dollar store, socks, underwear, mostly silly like things from the Dollar Spot at Target.

I typically do snacks and then little stuff from the Target Dollar Spot. This year, we just went on a Disney cruise and got a bunch of little Disney stuff from the Fish Extenders, so I saved all that and will split that up between their stockings. D is getting some Star Wars socks that I found at Target. And A will get some new chalk for the chalkboard wall in the kitchen.
