copados1993 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I am trying to come up with some ideas for my kids stockings. Every year it seems to get harder for me. Our son is into sports, loves to eat, and is pretty easy going. Our 11 yo daughter is hard. She isn't into little girl things anymore( except American Girl dolls) and I don't know what to do. Stockings always seem so expensive to do. I miss the days I could go to The Dollar Tree and load up lol! Any ideas would be great! I already have Hollister spray and beef jerky for our son and nothing for our daughter yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorilwayne Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 My kids are ages 19,18 and 16 and still love their stockings in fact the ones who have moved out begged for them to continue as it has all the "little things we need" in it. I usually put shampoos conditioner hair treatments hair scrunches cheap jewelry make-up chapsticks hair spray hair gel mousse cute socks Santa has been know. To shop Victoria secrets and get the expensive undies on clearance bath and body works stuff including body sprays perfumes gift cards iTunes or walmart cards to download songs movie rentals cell phone aps download cards. Pens pencils for school locker magnets magnetic mirror for locker hats gloves scarves for winter food gift cards to chain fast food gift cards to walmart target or where ever they like to shop. Hope that gives you some stocking ideas. My 2 oldest are Dds and they have begged to continue the stockings fir he little things to keep going.

lorilwayne Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Btw there are really cute socks at dollar tree. Just watch. I look for my stocking stuffers all year to help keep price down and also coupon since these are also things I use for the stocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 For your son: Deodarant, hair products, body wash, items for his car(air freshener tools, safety items), a flashlight, toothpaste, toothbrush ( a must have according to my kids) favorite candy, gum, mints, brush, lint brush, key chain, socks, itunes card, book, or just more of his favorite foods and soda. For your DD: BBW (body sprays, washes and lotions), hair products (shampoo, brush, comb, scrucchis) cool pens, flashlight, favorite candy, gum, mints, toothpaste, toothbrush, journal, gloves, socks, nail polish and remover, a small stuffed animal.....

racerfan Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 In addition to alot of the above I also go to Target dollar spot and pick up whatever brain teaser games they have. The ones that are metal and connected together that you have to figure out how to separate. This year also my DS15 (almost 16) and DD13 will have book lights, stylus for their tablets, tablet sleeve.

copados1993 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 So sorry for your loss My aunt just lost their cocker spaniel yesterday too. Rainbow Bridge must be having a busy few days.Thank you very much. It has been such a long day. Our other dog seems so sad. I woke up and was in bed thinking about Christmas and just a few minutes later I learned my dog had passed. It was not expected so it came as such a shock.

copados1993 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I love the idea of supplies for my sons car. He was just given my grandmother's car and this could be really cool. I'm thinking some Armour All wipes would be apreciated. We always do a giftcard for itunes for DS but this year I think we will do it for DD too. The brain teasers could be fun for both. I always seem to have a hard time with doing them without costing me a million dollars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
