Christmas stocking

[leonaaaa]

Hello,
Please may I have some cute ideas on what to put in my sons first Christmas stocking he will be 8months 😇 Thank you kindly xo

Honestly, don't bother. He will have no idea what's going on and it will just be you opening a load of extra stuff. Save it a couple of years till he has an idea of what it is, it will bring far more pleasure.

First Christmas bauble
Happy land Christmas figures if you can find them

(Its not for the baby, its for the parents... and any older siblings that want to know what santa brought baby!)

(Also... come to the Christmas board. Lots of present ideas there)

Since he’s so young he’s as likely to get enjoyment just from rummaging in the stocking as he is from any actual gifts. I’d therefore make it a sensory activity - things like a jingly bell rattle, something squishy like a stress ball (make sure it’s not one he could bite through), colourful tinsel, a sparkly (unbreakable!) bauble, a clementine if he eats them. That way the whole thing is an experience for him.

A Christmas board book, a little santa teddy.

DS2 was 6 months at xmas last year and got a stocking otherwise 5YO DS1 would have wondered why he didn't.

in it there was
a Nuby Watering Can
a personalised cutlery set
a santa bear
a candy cane (which big brother was allowed to eat)
and a toothbrush

aww thank you everyone thats very true he isn't going to remember but I still want to make it special for him being a new mummy good idea with the sensory gifts thank you 💕

I got some baubles made with DD’s handprints

Mine got hairbrush, toothbrush, Xmas socks. Xmas hat, wipes!!
Bath toys, bauble, Xmas bib!

can never have to many wipes 😂🙊

We just did a main present, a Nectar points present and a present from his brother!

I did weaning things as mine were slightly younger so just put things in that I was going to buy anyway - cutlery sets; silicone sucky plate, silicone bibs with a little scoop on the bottom, baby snacks etc

A copy of The Night Before Christmas to read every Christmas Eve. Write a little message in it for him.

Christmas bells (think I got some from primark for like £3), Christmas bib, Christmas bauble, Christmas cup/plate etc. Things he can use Christmas Day basically.

Aww these are really cute good ideas thank you everyone xo

An idea I got from MN - a personalised bauble, and take a picture of them every year with their bauble as you decorate the tree.

You need chocolate coins(although just a few, not a whole pack for 8 month old) socks and a satsuma.
It's the law.

Other than that, at that age it was stuff they needed, cup, cutlery, bib. Small bath toys. Small sensory ball maybe.

😂 this is brilliant thank you ever so much! x
