What are you putting in your 6 year olds stocking?

[SarahH12]

Growing up I always had things like chocolate, sweets, socks etc in my stocking

DSD (almost 6) doesn't eat chocolate or sweets. We've got some paw patrol socks to stick in her stocking but we're stuck with what else to put in there.

What are you putting in / have you put in in the past?

Next you'll be saying it must have a lump of coal
As a child, my parents told me they used to get a lump of coal and a satsuma but they realise as adults it was a practical gift from parents that barely had any money, that sort of ended up a tradition. But there was no need to give us those things. And if I put a satsuma in my dc stocking they would just be confused. What's special about something that's always sitting in the fruit bowl anyway?

My 7yr old last yr n still loves blind bags, surprise eggs etc great for stockings

We go for nothing over £2.50 n max £20 stocking so shop all year getting bits in sales

This yr he has

Marvel boxers
Batman boxers
Choc orange
Nexo knights blind bag
Star wars blind bag
Wooden tangram puzzle
Mini batman protection torch keyring

And couple bits I can't remember

Metal - yes in our house stockings are from Santa and everything under tree is from us or whoever brought it for them

Mini hatchimal collectible
CDs from charity shop
Books
Bath bombs
Magic set from tiger
Bits from Claire's
Jaqueline Wilson Magazine
Hair colour spray
Lockable notebook
Spy pen from smiggle
Dvd
Tangle teaser

metalk yes stockings are put in bedrooms or just outside if you have a light sleeper, and that is filled only by Santa. If anything is too big to fit in the stocking, I just wrap in completely different paper (usually brown kraft) and put it next to the stocking.
Presents from us and everyone else under the tree, including big/expensive items, with tags from those people so it's clear. Santa can't afford to buy really expensive things for all the children, so they're usually not too expensive.

In our house the stockings (actually they are larger than i planned sacks) come from santa/fr Christmas, arrive on the bed and are filled with cheap gifts (though not necessarily small), or things like pants and socks and Pj's, which I would buy anyway, or things I think they need, but they are never going to ask for (more felt pens, bike lights, cushion for newly decorated bedroom, etc.)

They then have one or 2 (depending on price) main presents under the tree from mum and dad. Opened after dinner when daddy is back from work.

I aim to keep them busy:

• something to read (it'll be Enid Blyton this year)
• something to do (sticker dollies book, or football equivalent if I can find one)
• something to play with (it'll be slime this year)
• something to eat (ideally fiddly to unwrap so it takes longer)
• something from Lush (to encourage a long, calm-down bath later)

So far this year for my five year contract ld I have:

Paw patrol socks
Trolls pants
MLP toothbrush and toothpaste
Unicorn 'magic flannel'
Unicorn 'poo'
MLP foil wrapped chocolates

There will also be some sort of blind bag and always a satsuma.

In our house the stocking is just from santa. Mummy and daddy send santa money for the presents under the tree and He makes the final decision on what to bring :)
