What are you (FC) putting in your DC's stockings?

• sweets
• stickers
• motorbike toy (similar to hot wheels etc)
• little lucky penguin

All things he’ll love and cost approx £10 total as didn’t want to go wild!

Was half heartedly joking Santa will be bringing new face masks this year..
And totally expecting some company to be advertising mixed spice hand sanitiser...

FC brings stockings only in our house now so it's a big one! They won't be getting much under the tree from us though (in theory, I'm having trouble sticking to that )

They (age 3 and 5) will each be getting:

Cute pen

Couple of bath bombs from Lush
Colour changing bubble bath
Pot of beads to make jewellery
Knitted hat or scarf and gloves
Slippers

Christmas chocolate figures
Chocolate coins
Candy cane
Chocolate coins

And then a couple of small gifts each; like Lego figures for DS and my little pony figures for DD

They will also be getting a children's fragrance each, those are quite good useful fillers I think

Also one of those 'chocolate coins' should be a chocolate orange :)

DS8:
Plush Baby Yoda, Wrecking Ball wimpy kid book, Room of requirement Lego set, Chocolate frog, Chocolate wand, Chocolate golden snitch, HP Socks, Sorting hat key ring, Harry Potter stationery set, Harry Potter lego blind bags, Hobbit Lego blind bag, dinosaur rubbers, temporary tattoos.

I'm trying to stick to the rhyme for my 2 year old stocking.

Something you want - ducks for her bath
Something you need - Bubble bath
Something to wear - socks (can't have a stocking without socks)
Something to read - Cbeebies magazine
Something to eat - Chocolate coins & Clementine
Something to drink - chocolate milk straws
Something to make your brain think - mini board game of some kind!

My eldest has always said his favourite part of Christmas is his stocking, the younger two seem to get more excited over coming downstairs to find stuff under the tree so I won't go overboard on their stockings.

Last year we each had a little present at the dinner table as well which was nice, I think I'll do that again.

Hair bobble/Alice band
Socks
Choc coins
Harry Potter mug
Pencil/rubber
Mini beanie boo maybe
Slippers

I love a stocking!

@Spam88 could I ask what your Dino squishy is please - DS is a big Dino fan and I'm looking for some little bits for under the tree

@Someaddedsugar its a colour your own one, only little. From home bargains.

We do it a bit differently where she gets her main presents from father Christmas is her stocking. Shes only 4 and she doesnt need little bits. She get hot chocolate, a mug, smarties and bath bombs in her xmas eve box. She has asked for Buzz, Woody and Jessie from father Christmas. We will write him a letter nearer the time. I will have them poking out of her stocking in the morning :)
