50 Super Stocking Stuffer Ideas
If you were to visit us at Christmas time, you would find a long row of handmade felt stockings hanging from our mantle. We purposefully downplay the gifts around the tree. The kids exchange names to buy individual presents, and I usually wrap a family gift that we can all enjoy, like a new game or a book to read at story time.
But the main event at our house Christmas morning is emptying our stockings. We take turns, youngest to oldest, as the rest of the family watches.
Stocking stuffers vary a lot with age and sex, but here’s a list of some of our kids’ favorites from Christmases past:
