I admittedly go overboard on stockings, but they’re one of my favorite parts of Christmas. In our house, Santa brings stockings and all the other presents under the tree come from Dad & Mom or family & friends.
I also try to balance out the cost, by including things that I would normally be buying anyways, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. Next, I throw in things that all the kids can use, such as arts & crafts or sensory activities; and finally I get them each a special thing or two that is just for them.
Here are some of the things that you’ll find in the kids’ stockings this year or things that we already own that would be great additions for your own kids.
Growing up, new pajamas were always included in our stockings. It’s a fun tradition that I like to continue with the kids and this bamboo set from Kyte Baby is perfect. If you use this link, you can get $10 off when you spend $50+.
The mug and hot chocolate might leave you puzzled, but I did this one year for the big kids and they LOVED it. We made special hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows, in their new mugs. Put on our Christmas jammies and watched one final Christmas movie before the season was over. (If you haven’t yet seen it, check out Klaus). It’s pure Christmas magic! These mugs are also great because they’re stainless steel; so you don’t have to worry about the kids breaking a ceramic one, when you want to enjoy a “hot” beverage together.
Finally, like I mentioned before, puzzles, books, arts & crafts, and sensory items are always a hit; and who doesn’t love to get a new box of crayons or fresh play dough? If you want, used code: UNKNIT at wilddoughco.com for 10% off.
