What to put in stocking(end of bed) adult and ds

[kate1296]

Hi all loving all these Xmas threads! What do you put in Los (ds is 2) ..also wanted to do dh a little one so any ideas for a few small bits would be helpful :)

Book
Bubble bath
Flannel
Toothbrush
Socks
Small game
Something funny. Have got whoopee cushions this year
Satsuma
Chocolate coins
DVD

Think that's about it!

DH is getting:

Scratch card
Key finder (if I can find a decent one)
Magazine
Christmas Socks
Small sudoku book
Chocolate orange

DS is two and will be getting:
Schleich animals
Play Doh
Small cuddly toy
Finger puppet
Bubbles
Chocolate Coins
Brio Train
Toot Toot Drivers Car

The DSs (6 and 3) usually get things like:

• magic flannel
• small lego set
• key ring
• torch
• choc coins
• sticker book (I always regret this, as they are shit at peeling the stickers off so i have to help, but I think I just have stickerlarly incompetent children)
• satsuma
• pens/pencils/playdough/something crafty
• wooden ostheimer animal

DH and I generally do little stockings instead of big presents as we are perpetually broke and no one else gives us presents so it's nice to have something to open. I have bought for him in the past:

• whoopee cushion
• kitchen knife
• camping bottle opener
• frisbee
• new pens
• cooking utensils (he likes cooking)
• scratch card
• alcohol
• new hat/gloves
• cookery book
• moisturiser
• tickets to do things with the DC as he looks after them most weekends while I work so it's nice to have something treaty to do.

DH always gets socks in his.

This year he's having mostly chocolate and sweet stuff, a money clip and a dvd

I usually put in
Toothbrush
Chocolate
Bubble bath
Little Lego kit
Sticker book
Story book
Little toys like cars
DVD
Socks
Pants
Satsuma

Mini cereal (great source of excitement for DC).
Comic with maximum amount of plastic freebies on front - this can be invaluable.
Bubble wand?
Helium balloon tied to it if you can obtain and hide it

DH:
Is getting giant gherkins (he loves them...)
Little trial pack of coffee

• and I'd better look at some other posts actually.

All 3 adults in our house are getting a miniature (5cl) Glenfiddich or Baileys in their stocking. To drink at 5am while watching the DC tear into theirs (stockings, not alcohol). Also some fancy chocs.

Marking place! DD age 2 is getting her first stocking this year and I'm stuck for ideas, especially as she only recently had a birthday.

So far I like the sound of:

• Magazine with free tat toys
• Satsuma
• Mini cereal
• Something arty/crafty
• Puzzle

Off to google magic flannel, never heard of that!

Oh yes and definitely stickers
