I am very behind on Christmas shopping this year because I haven't been feeling well for awhile. I'm not sure what's going on. Today I managed to get out and picked some things up for the stockings.
Some small books, coloring books, chapstick, pens, socks, small soaps and bubble bath, little toys. Anything too small to wrap goes in the stockings. I'll probably end up picking up a few more things and I have to get some stuff to fill my husband's stocking. I usually get a matchbox car for my son too. And candy.
When I was a kid we never had stockings. When I was a teenager we moved to a new house that had a fireplace. My mom bought stockings to hang on the mantle for decoration but never put anything in it. So this has been a new tradition for us that I enjoy doing for my children. It's one of those things I didn't want them to miss out on.
Great items! I'm so glad you get to enjoy this tradition now with your kiddos. ;)
