We just do for the DCs, but it seems lots of people do for their DPs/DHs - do they do one for you?

I'm foreign and not really into the whole stocking thing.

i give guests little treats with their dinner, nothing too much just little parcels of chocolates etc instead, a little surprise after the big surprises

i think it is so much nicer because it makes the meal a little more special

flier, what about individual alcoholic drinks for the men and small "tester" bottles of perfume for the women, you know the one's you can buy for about £3.50/£4, for the children chocolate is always a winner!

I did one for dh the first year we were married and he got upset that I didn't do one the next year! So, I've done it every year for him and for dd once she was born (well, actually she was 4m on her first Xmas so I didn't). Last year, they did one for me, but that was the first time.
