Kids Stocking ideas 8 & 10

[DeathMetalMum]

Just looking for some ideas for stockings. We already have a few things but looking for a bit of inspiration. I'll list what we have got incase it gives anyone else some ideas.

Toothbrush
Magic flannel
Sweets/Chocolate
Things for drawing
Pokemon cards
Magic set for dd2
3D puzzle (middle isle in lidl for dd2)
Fluffy socks
Washi tape (dd1)
Double sided sticky tape (dd2)

Need to add a refill of kinetic sand too.

What do others have in theirs? They both have a new book so have something to read. I feel like I'm missing a few little toys or things to keep them busy for a couple of hours particularly dd1. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Mine are the same age as yours but a boy and a girl:

Lego dots set bracelet and dots
Lego friends cube
Lego ninjago spinner
Fortnite key ring
Fortnite funko pop
Melody maker horse sticker book
Socks
Jelly beans
2021 diary
Books
Slushy cups
Personalised pencil case and crayons
Nail polish and stickers set

My are 9&7. They have

• shower gel
• flamingo body puff
• stationery set
• post it notes
• notebook
• chopsticks

-beanie boo

• book

Hair stuff

• craft kit

some things I've included

• one of those multipacks of single-portion cereal boxes (we just have weetabix so they'll be very excited to have all the good stuff!)

• pokemon annual

• beano annual

• teddy

• chocolate harry potter wand

Pants
Socks
Deogrant
Tub of pringles
Cereal I wouldn't usually buy - lucky charms, reeces

I always put a clementine in too - random tradition!

Clementine
Chocolate Gold coins
Mug/ cup
Stationary
Chocolate Santa
Socks

To be honest it's normally any if they're presents small enough to fit in xx

Thanks all some great ideas. Lego dots we have done as well I forgot to add! They also have tonnes of stationary and hair accessories.

I always had a clementine in my stocking but they don't like them!
I like the mug idea so will probably get those. I also found some good deals on the Claire's website last night loads of stuff half price. I got a purse each and a dress up set for dd2. I also got an umbrella each for their grandad to give them too, but it was only £5 so could be a good stocking filler idea.

Books

I put a kids magazine or comic in my dcs stockings

Fake tattoos

Rubix cube

A baking kit...I usually grab those supermarket biscuit or cupcake kits then we make them on boxing day

My very nearly 8 year has/ I thought of:

• shark tooth dig kit
• yo-yo
• Top Trumps
• riddle cards
• Pass the Pigs game
• Lego blind bag
• grow your own Venus flytrap tin
• build your own mini marble run
• themed bath bombs

The mini marble run sounds interesting @Equimum do you remember where you bought it?

DeathMetalMum it was from this shop (which is amazing!):

I always put a mini Lego set in to buy some extra time in bed. American sweets that they only get at Christmas (laffy taffy, nerds etc) and some chocolate. I have some new top trumps each, spy pens and I'm hoping to visit my local whirligig shop when it reopens for a couple of small items.

Do people wrap their stocking presents or just place them in the stocking? X

@WoWsers16 Santa uses the cheap wrapping silver foil here. No sellotape needed - very quick to do (especially good if Santa is disorganised and doing it in the middle of the night on the 24th ), and recyclable afterwards.

My 9 year old has
Big Dorling Kindersly book about space.
Coloured pens
Calendar with stickers
Lego snowball fight
Watermelon sweets
Iced decorated gingerbread biscuit
Hot chocolate sachets
White chocolate orange
Pink grapefruit and sachet of brown sugar (for retro Xmas day breakfast)

@WoWsers16

I wrap the stocking fillers except for the really small things like selection box, chocolate, bath bombs
