We will be at WDW over Christmas. Any suggestions for stocking stuffers for 13 yo ds, 5 yo ds, and almost 3 yo dd (otherwise known as "The Princess")?

13 = Favorite candy or disney snack, disney dollars or GC, a favorite cd or movie (or a GC to the movies), sunglasses.

5 = favorite candy or disney snack, disney dollars, sunglasses, light up spinner toy, favorite small character toy - ie: something buzz lightyear, trading pin(s).

3 = favorite candy or disney snack (see a familiar thread here), sunglasses, also a spinner toy - definitely not just for boys!, princessy items - jewelry - tiara, wand etc. Small stuffed minnie, trading pin(s), Disney dollars if the 3 year old understand the concept of $$$ at all (mine understands how many things she can get but not that they can't be $100 each)

Another idea instead of doing typical Christmas stockings would be to do a "christmas" beach bag or put into a large stocking and theme it that way...Towel, flip flops, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, magazine or book for older child, pail & shovel for younger, etc. and you have a "stocking" with a twist - and all the things they can use while on their special Christmas vacation. You could throw a small keepsake in there to like the trading pins, magnets, etc. Something different as how many people get to have a WDW Christmas!

Will you be at DW for Christmas?

 

[SqueakyMouse]

Yes, we'll be at WDW. Our 13 yo ds' main gift this year will simply be...a Disney gift card. How easy can shopping get? Normally, I'm opposed to gift cards. I love shopping for just the right item. However, he's reached an age where I really am not able to pick out what he'll like AND he loves to shop. He'll be in heaven at DTD over Christmas.

I usually do the non candy items myself. Special tooth brushes, lip gloss etc. But boys are a little harder. I agree with the gift card on the 13 ewspecially if he like to shop!!!

Maybe have special christmas t-shirts made up for them personalized, they roll up nice for a stocking. Or PJ's. Socks and panties of the princesses are another favorite for my girls buzz light year for the little guy. These are all things you can get at Disney store. If little ones are into dress up wait till after Halloween Disney marks most things down fairly low and get a bunch of accessory type things they can add to their every day dress at disney. Hair ties for your DD if hair is long enough. All these things I have noticed young ones wear very proud.

Disney picture frame. And after they open it tell them they can have their picture taken with their special character and a memeory they can look at everyday in their bedroom.

Give me time the creative juices are just waking up...

If you get there a few days before Christmas, you could pick up some of the fun candies and treats that are only available in the parks (I remember seeing character-shaped cookies, Mickey rice krispie treats, etc.). Disposable cameras would be good for all three kids - even your little ones would have fun with them and you might get some interesting photos out of the deal. If Christmas is at the beginning of your trip, you could put in autograph books & pens so they would have them for their first day in the parks. Other ideas are pins & pin lanyards, pressed penny books & change for the pressed penny machines, Epcot passport books, magnets, postcards, the small metal ride cars (I've seen the ones for Dumbo, Jungle Cruise, etc. and I'm sure there are others) or whatever small item they like to collect from the parks. HTH.
