Stockings = seasonal food and one small toy (preferably a puzzle type thing) in our house. This started because we have the rule that you can't open presents until everybody is up. If you don't wanna get woken up repeatedly from 4am onwards with begging requests for present opening time now, they can have the food and a little something to keep them distracted while they watch cartoons and you can sleep in a bit later!

Do the same for adults. Although toy more likely to be a tricky puzzle or desk toy.

Torch
Plastic Necklace or Hairbands
Pair pyjamas
Note pad & pen
Chocolate coins
Satsuma
Small wooden puzzle

We all get stockings here:

Everyone gets:
an Oxfam unwrapped present
satsmas - to be eaten before breakfast
fair trade dried fruit / nuts
fair trade chocolate

Over the years I have stuffed in: [with only DDs]
playmobil figurines
fisher-price roll-a-rounds
crayons
colouring books
cheap dvds from Woolies during their £1 sales
play doh
craft supplies - glue, glitter etc
bath bombs
nail polish
lip gloss
plastic fruit
whoopy cushions [hate them!!!!]

Some stuff is wrapped - such as the playmobil small figurines but not everything

FC does stockings and the 'big' present here. We put the tree up at end of November [dont do live trees] and put presents from relatives under as they arrive esp as grandparents live in Canada. DD1 has never tried to open any. DD2 is now only 2 so we shall see how long this lasts

In our house only the children get stockings, not the adults, and Father Christmas only brings the stocking presents not the under the tree ones.

The stockings have stuff like:

-art and crafts stuff
-Foamy Soap in a can and novelty bath sponge
-Play Mobile/Polly Pocket figure
-socks/pants
-choc coins/Xmas choc lollies
-hair accessories
-silly toy like those squishy/gungey balls, whoopee cushion, fart putty
-books
-gel pens/colouring pencils
-mosaic-type colouring book
-slinky spring
-DD usually has a quartz/crystal type thing (you know, the rough piece, not polished)last year it was a chunk of amethyst
-some sort of glittery/girlie storage pot for DD
-a couple of Matchbox cars for DS

I have to say that the 99p fart putty has consistently been the most popular stocking filler for the past 3 years!

The core 'must haves' are book, CD, DVD.

Then for DS, some packs of whatever the latest phase is for collecting things (so go gos this year)! Then a few sweeties and some hawkins bazaar type things. New gloves. A few sweeties.

For DD, a few smellies from lush (which of course stink the house out)! Maybe some nail varnish. A small claire's accessories voucher. Sweeties.

The stockings are from us and the things on their christmas list are from FC.

I love these threads!

We never had stockings as kids either and one year I decided we should so on Xmas Eve I got 3 of my Dad's socks and hung them over the fireplace to my parent's total panic! I think we just got an orange and some money in them!

My Dad makes up for it now with the grandchildren though - he has a stocking for each of them and FC leaves things for them all.

In our house the stockings and toys under the tree are from FC. Presents from anyone else are from them. DS gets a present from us too.

Have NO ideas for this year as yet though.

I have two DS's (11 & 9), I would usually put in something along the lines of

socks
undies
new pencils/feltips and some sort of colouring thing/activity book
selection box
a small game - last year it was 20Q
top trumps

I hang the bag on the inside of their bedroom door. The boys will get up, get their bags and go into my mum and dad they usually go through the contents sat on my mum and dads bed.

When I was a child during the 1960's, my mum used to fill one of her old nylon stockings for me!!!!! Sadly, with the arrival of nylon tights, I didn't get two legs worth of pressies!
