Almost 5-year old girl: candy, stickers, beads/necklace making stuff, band-aids, micellar water wipes (she's weird and insists on washing her face "like mommy" before bed...I guess I can't complain since at least she's clean-ish?), keychain for her preschool bag, Paw Patrol window stickers

Just finished with the two LO's...
DS(5) - Markers, Melissa&Doug Paper pad, Ryans World figures, a PlayDoh burger/grill set, paint brushes
DD(2-1/2) - Washable paint, training undies, play doh unicorn, minnie puzzle, Melissa&Doug Paper pad.**As I write this out half won't actually fit in their stockings! Whoops, lol.
DSD, 16 is getting some lip balm, face masks, and ImPress press-on nails.
I'll probably add some little candy things or gold fish to each. -
I go way overboard every year - my family always piled up the stocking stuff! So here’s what I’ve got:
-
DS(5) - coloring roll, washi tape, electric toothbrush, apple sauce and candy
DS(2) - paint and paint brushes, play dough, bath bombs and candy
-
DH- truff hot sauce, sunflower seeds, twizzler pull and peel, one other small thing but not sure - like socks maybe.
DS1 (5yo) - activity book, scented crayons, cotton candy, pez, Mr Bubble foam, book mark, glitter glue, prob some more candy. Oh, Hanukkah gelt (husbands Jewish).
DS2 (22 months) - Hanukkah gelt, matchbox cars, his own crayons, a bunch of stickers, bath crayons or markers or finger paint.
I’m sure I’ll see other random things I’ll stick in but that’s what I have planned for now.

@catgirl: bandaids! GREAT idea @erinbaderin: that’s a great haul! How big are your stockings?!
-
@LadyDi: Our “stockings” generally each get a chair - the contents tend to spill out.
-
@LadyDi: I swear it's been her favorite thing in every stocking and easter basket she has ever had - and it's so simple and actually useful!
-
@catgirl: also going to steal the bandaid idea!
So far we’ve got hats, undies, silly putty, led tablet things to write on, puzzle, baby surprise for the girl, some sort of floating globe ball thing for the big boy, goggles. Baby gets scammed but that’s the third born life for ya. Haha
ideas for the third born 18 month old would be appreciated. He likes climbing and generally being wild!

I'm filling up my amazon cart as I read this thread!
My almost 5-year-old DS and my 6-year-old DD are getting:
-A custom camping mug with their name on it. Found these on etsy.
-Underwear
-A felt ball sling shot
-A pack of bamboo toothbrushes
-Learn to draw book
-Blank comic book/journal
-Socks
-Some small amount of candy. Probably a handful of peppermint kisses.DH will probably end up with:
-Some nice chai tea
-Spicy nut mix
-Blue light blocking glasses?
-Socks
-Ideally concert tickets, but I have to find the right artist and timing. -
@Mrs. Champagne: some ideas for an 18 month old:
this toy car: https://www.amazon.com/Kid-Early-Learning-Push-Pull/dp/B0039X51MM/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=toy+car+with+handle&qid=1575596419&sr=8-7
a new cup
socks
some little people figures -
@Mrs. Champagne: For an 18 month old, maybe some bath toys? Those can always use replacing. Some big crayons, sunglasses, stickers, a board book, a big action figure so he can be like his big brother.
-
@Mrs. Champagne: My poor third born is only 5 months old. He's getting a toothbrush, puffs and yogurt melts. Basically all stuff that I would have had to buy him anyway.
-
@LadyDi: Last year DS2 was just 4 months and his stocking was mostly stuff to get ready for solids. Might as well take advantage.
I’m like you @erinbaderin: our stockings are super full. I tried to be better this year but I just want to buy all the stuff!!

We celebrate St. Nicholas Day which is today as that was my tradition growing up. The boys got some candy, a pair of slippers, bath bombs and bubble bath. Oh and I got them a whoopee cushion as I have accepted that I'm a boy mom and farts are funny.
We just do small things for stockings. DH will fill their stocking again with something little on Christmas morning as that was his tradition. Again, something pretty small.
