talking of stockings....

[misdee]

what do i get for dd3 stocking? will be 10months old?

the smallest amount of stuff htat it takes to show her sisters she has one

ds2 was 11months old for his first christmas and i brough him some finger puppets, he loved them, both for him to play with and for me to play tickles with him!

packet of chocolate buttons, small beanies, i also brought ds some wooden cars from elc, they have small plastic people suitable from about 1y.o but i'm sure they would be fine for a 10 month old.

i todl the dsses oen xmas that ds3 was getting moneya s we had loads of stuff and he woudlnt notice
they thoguth that was a relly good idea
adn have never commented on it since

hats it really for me as well lockets. the other 2 will ask why dd3 didnt get a stocking otherwise.

i'll get her a small pack of building blocks or soemthing then. cheers.

Sorry to butt in...where did you get the finger puppets from vicki? My DS2 will also be 10 months and I hadn't thought about a stocking for him ...oops! Those ideas seem cool!

Had this problem last year when DS was 6m but he had to have a stocking because of big sister. How about -
-character bowl/plate/beaker/cutlery type things
-practical stuff like socks and gloves
-cuddly toy (good space filler)
-something with her name on (door plaque, hairbrush)

good ideas. i bought some peek a block thingys, i'll pop those in, will get a bowl and name plaque for her room, and a soft xmassy toy. that should do.

this is veru useful dd2 will be 6.5months.

so far we've got her
a book
a duck washmit
a swiper (from dora)

any more suggestions?

nothign
thatll do

maddurjeffry(cod??) stop being a scrooge. you know what its like here atm

i dont usually do the stockings, thats peters job, not mine.

I did buy dd a stocking at Ikea recently. Had given no thought whatsoever to filling it!

no not meaning to be a scrooge(THIS time)
itsjust they dont notice and hteother kdia re far oto busy opening hteirs to notice

oh they will notice. cos if we are at harefield xmas morning they wont be opening much there anyway, just the stockings and a few gifts in peters room.

I disagree MJ, our DD loves seeing what her litle brother has

ok, its up to you then!

I doubt that ds will notice, frankly. But might put something in. Prob recycled stuff that ds used to own. She's getting a stacking hen for Christmas.

i got them from house of fraser in their christmas department, think i saaw some in the pier too and elc.

a stacking hen?

is this a post-modernist take on battery farming, or what?

Its a stacking tower of hoops with a hen's head on top basically. Nicer than it sounds!
She doesn't need anything at all, obviously.

Last year DD2 ( 5 mths) got some baby shampoo and bubble bath, some wet wipes, a plate, spoon etc, a tiny cuddly toy.

It was for DD1's benefit.
