What does Santa bring in your household?

[mirrormirroronthewall55]

I know it's different for everyone but when I was a kid, all of the gifts (other than those already under the tree from family and friends etc) were from Santa, my parents didn't actually buy us any gift from themselves.
I want to do things differently with my kids where Santa brings one gift that they have asked for on their list, and fills the stocking. Anything other presents are from Mum & Dad. Just wondering what is the norm.

Stocking gifts only. Small fun stuff and the traditional bits like choc coins and satsuma.
All the 'proper' presents are from people.

Stocking only

Everything.

Sticking, plus a combined present for both DDs eg a new board game.

Stocking, obviously.

Stocking only.

Stocking only, nice small novelty things. We do this for our children now too. For me it's partly about family members getting acknowledgement for presents but otherwise how do you explain to your child why Father Christmas buys some kids whatever they ask for and not others?

Santa brings the stocking in our house and 1 gift for the kids to share. Everything else comes from whoever gifted it ie parents, grandparents etc

Everything.

The same as you, stocking and one gift from Father Christmas, guaranteed from their list, he delivers all the presents from us but we have to send him the money for them so they know the budget isn’t unlimited.

Some of the stocking, but family can slip extras in.

One present under the tree.

Plain red paper for all of those.

@OnlyWhenILaugh so what happens with the gift that the child has asked for on their letter to Santa (assuming these aren't stocking fillers)... the parents buy them?

We also do stocking and one present each under the tree - same reason as PP we don't want them having lots from Santa when potentially others don't etc

Stocking only - so usually toothbrush, choc coins (or fave treat), book and a toy, which is how my parents did it when I was younger, too.

@mirrormirroronthewall55 I'm genuinely curious about why you want to do it differently, did it cause any issues?

Just the stocking here as well.

Last year he brought potato peelers for everyone and munchkin.

Ours is stocking only and then their 'main' present from their list. Not necessarily the biggest/most expensive thing but the one they've really wanted most

Exactly what you’ve described. The stocking (just full of silly little bits to keep them busy first thing Christmas morning) and one bigger present - when they were smaller, this was the thing they’d asked him for when we’d been to see him (which I heavily prepped / steered in advance!).

Stocking gifts. Main reason is when kids are older and one kid from a more affluent family gets a switch while one from a struggling family gets pyjamas and some new shoes the differences can be very obvious.

But if santa only brings small gifts and the big ticket items are from parents it's still not fair on that kid but at least they don't feel like santa doesn't like them.

Stocking, plus one big gift for each person staying at ours overnight. I try to make it a big gift physically but not too expensive - this year it's a huge thing of mini hot-wheels cars.

@Lincoln24 no issues at all, my siblings and I always had a great Christmas and were totally spoilt (by Santa), usually getting everything we asked for as long as it wasn't outrageous or unreasonable.
I've been thinking recently that the parents should get some credit too (which mine didn't really get as we were oblivious to the fact that they had bought it all).
Also conscious that some kids don't get as much as others from "Santa".

Same here apart from family presents they have tags from the people they are from. We also don't do stockings

Santa brings the stocking and one labelled gift.

Everything else is from the person who bought them (including us).
