starshine Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I do little toys that I have picked up through the year and some candy. I don't like to do alot of candy because then he will bounce off the walls the rest of the day! LOL You 8 year olds might like a magazine subscription. I know my son is really into getting mail and loves to get magazines. You can find cheap subscriptions on line if you look around. You can just stick the magazine or a card saying what one they are getting in the stocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadedmomof2 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 My 3yo is getting at least 2 sets of little people(big lots has a tube set of them , for $4.99), a Color wonder market/paper set($1 at the local dollar store) and fruit snacks. He loves fruit snacks. My 10yo, I haven't decided what to put in his stocking yet. I'll have to see what the TRU video game deals are like in the coming weeks.

outnumbered Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I'm going to try to get the electronic lightsabers from Walmart for stocking stuffers. They're on sale now for something like $14--but will be $8 I think on BF. In the past I've done movies as stocking stuffers too. Most of the little toys just wind up cluttering their room and getting stepped on within a few weeks so I don't tend to do those anymore. And candy, of course! Can't forget the candy. One candy cane apiece, and then some good chocolate stuff. I fill my own stocking too LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffnatu Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Which lightsabers are the ones going on sale for $8? I seen them in the ad but I have seen like 4 differant kinds at Walmart..lol. My son wanted one that was $30 the other day. Ain't no way when I can wait and get one for $8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I usually get stocking stuffers at Radio Shack. The M&M radios are a hit with my kids and the older ones like the organizers. Hot Wheels are a good idea. Also, I put things like Batman bubble bath, Bob the Builder shaving set for the younger boys, stuff like that, they love it. Stocking stuffers at our house are pretty cheap because we spend all of the money on the presents. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommie75 Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 that is my idea we spen so much on present they each get about 200.00 in present i do not want to spend alot of stocking stuff... but sick of the cheap dollar things thati throw away in a week .. and hot wheel they have 4 boxes of them . so how many more do they really need.. my husband use to work al wm and used to buy them all the time for them.. so i am sick of those .. they have so many toy's they do not even play with anymore i told them thy are spoiled brats and they need nothing for x mas . they do not play with what they have. game boy is the new fun thing bought them last year bf and they are just know starting to play with them.. took them long enough and have about 15 games well had can not find them all right at this min.. thanks to the two year old he gets into all there stuff..

ebony0421 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Uhm, maybe a little wallet that has some character or someone on it to hold his money, I've seen power ranger key chains that they clip to their bookbag, handheld games, knex, cheap watch, those little cars that do tricks and maybe you can print a coupon that says something like this coupon entitles the owner 100 million zillion kisses from mom or this coupon is for .......:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best4less Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I usually just do little things from the dollar store and candy in the stockings since we spend so much on the big gifts. This year since I am getting both the kids new portable video game systems (PSP and GBA SP) I'll probably put an extra game for each in their stocking as well.

couponmamaoftwins Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Carmex, little lotions, bubble bath, some of those bendable toys like you see at Easter (Do they make them for Christmas?), card games, small etch-a-sketch or magna doodle, flash cards...that's all I can think of right now.
