Stocking stuffers for DS15 and DD14??

[DoeWDW]

The kids are getting older and it's getting tougher to put together their Christmas stockings. Any ideas???

I usually rely on toiletry items -- shampoos, conditioners, deodorant, cologne, toothpaste, toothbrush, mints, etc. etc. Go crazy in the drug store. Get little sample bottles of things. Also, gift certificates for movies are good too!

pens, pencils, candy

As my kids have gotten older, I find that their stocking is the perfect place for large ticket items such as MP3 players, PDAs and stuff like that. We usually travel for Christmas, and rely heavily on the Stocking, as carrying large items is tough. We are staying home this year (YEAH!) and SANTA is bringing a very large family gift which won't fit into a stocking, but the rest will almost certainly get stuffed. Gift cards for music are great, as are those memory stics for the PDAs, toiletries and yes, BATTERIES BATTERIES and more BATTERIES. (I have seen those big candy canes that come filled with candy, filled with batteries! Sick sign of the times. The poor dentist must be losing patients in droves!)Oh! Maybe a mini spa treatment for a daughter, or a gift cert for a game of paintball, lazer tag, or whirly ball for a son (or daughter ) That's all I can think of for now.

Smiles!

Candy! My mom always puts in the chocolate coins, I think they are a jewish tradition, but we love them in the christmas stocking

I'd be happy with anything chocolate or candy.

batteries are always needed

Depending on what kind of camera they have, film is always a good stocking stuffer.

I got parts of the LOTR books in my last 2 stockings(not a bad idea if anyone is into the series or Harry Potter)

UM, well since my kids have a tendency to brows these boards, I cannot tell, but I have it on good authority, from the Jolly Old Elf himself, that it is bigger that a VW beetle, but costs less than a plane ticket. I'm thinking some sort of sports related thing that requires two players, one whom may want to refer to him/herself as Stevie Yzerman, and the other as The Great One!
Sounds like fun for the Fam Damily!

Keep the Faith!

I know! Your very own Zamboni!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Candy is always a must

Gift cards to your local mall, Old Navy, Best Buy, etc. are ALWAYS a great gift idea for stockings!

Or if you wanted, you could always get them a Chia Pet. My sister always wanted one of those.

 

[tlgoblue]

OOOOH! How about Pins!?!?! Any Budding Traders out there?

Keep the Faith!
