I was looking at it all this morning. I think I've gone overboard but then DS has a sack rather than a stocking, so all his gifts apart from the main one (bike) will go into it:

Toy pet chameleon
Walking dinosaur toy
Hot wheels car/trailer (small)
Books
Hoodie
Chocolate gonk
Chocolate coins
Mini jelly bean dispenser
Squishy glow in the dark little hamster
Mini disco ball
Bath bombs
Whack a mole game
Little build your own car kit
Pencils
Yoyo
Wow pod (?)
Cuddly dog
Some sort of volcano slime thing

I think that's it. May end up holding some of it back for his birthday.

@BoxerMam Could I ask what curling custard is please? Sounds intriguing

I think I've missed a few more odd tiny bits but I think it's worth noting what I think will probably be my (nearly) 3 year old DS's favourite gift of the entire day; a Peppa Pig mini graze kit that looks like a tiny Peppa Pig first aid kit.

@colouringindoors your stockings look fun to me. How about a face mask? The moisturising/cleansing type rather than the covid masks! And a satsuma.

Ah thanks @PolkaDotMankini !

I think we do stockings a bit differently from most people, because that's how my parents did it.

All the presents from Father Christmas go in the stocking and then maybe a couple of filler bits.

Then there's one present under the tree that is from us (although next year all presents will be in the stocking as DS is too old to belive now 😢)

So in his DS has...

Merch t shirt
2 bottles of prime
Board games x 3
Candle making kit
Switch game
Annual of his favourite TV show
New dance shoes

The "big" present from us is a record player and 2 albums on vinyl (random request from him!)

@Largethighsbadeyes we also do stockings are from Father Christmas and tree presents are from family. However, I got a stocking from FC my mum right up until I called a halt to it this year. Christmas won't be the same!
