I've been seriously struggling for ideas this year. Stockings in our house are from the big guy, so usually made up of little things they'd really like plus some chocolate and the obligatory orange. We don't spend loads, but it's the tat that they love that they think I wouldn't buy them, like flexi worms, moon balls, messy crafts etc.
Today they happily skipped off to the school fair with pocket money and have bought copies of genuinely EVERYTHING I'd bought for stockings. Did not think this through! If nothing else it's very validating that I was on the right track with my shopping...they've bought moon balls, flexi worms, top trumps, a little excavation craft kit and jewellery.
So, I'm back to the drawing board. I have two very gender typical children. DD4 is into crafts, colouring, jewellery, pretend make up, hair and things like that. She has a few jewellery and accessory making kits from her birthday. DS likes puzzles, balls, things that move, maths, reading, top trumps.
The things they bought today are Ideas I've had so far that they didn't buy today are some nail stickers for DD and a bookmark for DS.
Otherwise....please help!
