For my 15 month old dd I have got:

*one of those snow storm things
a tin tingaling box (basically a little decorated tin box with a handle which you wind up to get music)
*a minature wooden soldier dressed in beefeater costume which is designed to come apart in small pieces and then be put back together again
*a furry mouse with a rip pull cord which moves for a few seconds after pulling
*one of those wooden toys which you press from underneath, and the animal on top sort of collapses and jiggles
*an inflatable reindeer

Got most of these from the ELC catalogue and letterbox catalogue if anyone is interested

So far I have planned to go in the loft and get out a few of DH's old farm animals.....

Is that really tight? No it always starts off that way but then escalates. And I always include a satsuma, packet of raisins and choc. coins.

Bron,

I've got the 4 pack of megabloc people too - but I hadn't thought to individually wrap them. Will now though!

P.S. I wish someone would do a Christmas stocking for me. Adults should have a bit of fun too. Infact, I am going to warn my dh that I expect a Christmas stocking this year (knowing my luck he'll probably misconstrue, and present me with some fishnets!)

HMC - My MIL does a stocking for all the 'big' kids, it's my fave part! Me and my SIL always get exactly the same and we love it. WE usually get:

Terries Choc orange
Lip balm/gloss
nail varnish
bubble bath
some miraculous hair product (she's a hair dresser)
fridge magnet
satsuma
20p

Thats lovely Northerner. Do people wrap things to go in stockings? I just stuff it all in. Mind you, only every done one so not v. experienced.

Have also remembered that I have bought DS a set of little glasses (well I assume that they're plastic) from Ikea to go in his. And will presumably find a suitably small book.

dd is 4 so she already has

Pink mini china cup with stars on
A whole heap of sticking and painting bits in a shoe box
A finger pupet making set
A choc santa
A dvd of mary poppins
Some books
New pink velore (sp) pjs (to wear xmas morning)
Stickers (she loves them)
Fridge magnet making set
Badge making set
Party invite making set
Card making set - She likes craft things
Hair bobbles (pink ones) with matching clips
Stripy Knee length socks
Bubble bath (also pink)

Ds who is 18months has

Large buttons and string set for threading
Some books
Some finger paints from ELC as they are by far the firmest and best for toddlers fingers
Shape sorter
Wooden puzzle
Tool box with tools

pink stuff on this thread?!!

Is that an elephant stocking you're using Jenie?

So where's the best place to get the stocking from then? (Don't suggest making one, am useless at that sort of thing ...)
