crix101 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I was trying to find a good place to buy stocking stuffers this year, online. Do you guys know of any good places to buy small, inexpensive items with free or cheap shipping? Oriental trading is good, they have lots of small cute items, but you have to buy twelve or more of most things. I am using them for school gift bags. Any other places or ideas?

burberrybrit Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hmm, I don't really know any sites online for this, but I can recommend actual stores. Would it be incovenient for you to buy the stocking stuffers at a store? Since you sound like you are going to buy a lot of stuff, maybe you should check out the Dollar Store, Big Lots, even the $1 section at Target (which surprisingly has some cute stuff). Candy and baked goods are always a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I would go to Dollar Tree/Dollar General and then use christmas pencils, erasers, color crayons, stickers, candy, mini bubbles and other things like that, that you would normally stuff a childs party bag with depending on the # of kids. Saves on shipping altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini1217 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 My 8yr old DD loves make-up. So I will probably stuff hers with some lip glosses, etc. Another thing that I always do (takes up lots of space, too:) ) is put thank-you cards in everyones stocking. The first year I got asked why did Santa give us thank you cards...I said, "gees...he must think you need to thank everyone that gave you gifts." Works well!!!

Melissa Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I was going to suggest Dollar Tree or the $1 section at Target as well. I really can't think of any online places that don't require you to buy in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 why not ask a dentist office to see if they would donate toothbrushes for the class or something like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicracinggirl7 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 like others said, just hit up your local dollar stores... you could go with some coloring books, crayons, misc. stuff... for girls, go to your local rite aid/cvs/etc and pick up some lip smackers lip balm, and some wet n' wild nail polish.

mombbsmj Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I also do the orange idea at the bottom of the stocking, something I picked up from my parents. I'll also echo the popular idea of the $1 spot at Target. They have some really cute things like the Hello Kitty items and the mini games that would even been good for older kids.

JazzMama Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I also have been able to get some of Cailyn's stocking stuffers from this site:http://toytreasurehouse.com/ This year, she got a roll of 100 Christmas stickers and the Santa notepad. I just got this in the mail Friday, and they also had added a free Scooby-Doo temp tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copados1993 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 This year I'm putting 5 dollar gift cards to McDonalds. My kids had gotten the new gift cards from their Aunt and Uncle at halloween, and it was like they had won the jackpot. They LOVED the idea of going to there and "buying" their own meal. I just thought it could be a fun idea. Otherwise, going to the dollar tree and target are about the best ideas. Stockings can get expensive if you let them!

drmy91 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I use Dollar Tree as my stocking stuffer place. And a few things I get from Walmart. I get bubble bath, toothbrushes, pencils, crayons, coloring books, candy and other little things. My kids get enough expensive stuff. They get everyday items for their stocking stuffers.

mawrin3 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Something my fiance suggested I give in stockings and maybe for secret Santa this year is iTunes gift cards. I thought that was a good idea....and for someone to give to me too. As of now, I've picked up some burt's bees lotions and shimmers for the girls in the family and few puzzles for my mom.
