We have 2 children ages 11 and 6 and this is what we do for them. Around November, I give them a piece of paper with this saying on it and then they fill out what they want. I tell them to put a couple idea's down in each section so Santa can pick.
Something you want-
Something you need-
Something you wear-
Something to read-
And then everyone gets a stocking with little dollar store items and candy to open up while I get breakfast around.
