hope1976 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Our daughter will be 11 months old exactly on Christmas. Now, with her 2 brothers (4 & 7), we have to do stocking stuffers. Any ideas as to what we could put in for an infant??? We have the boys figured out, but for an 11 month old little girl? Thanks in advance!
treasure60 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Teething rings, baby cookies, infant hair things, small stuffed animal, and maybe some bathing products.
daworths8 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Is she still on a bottle? Sippy cups? Pacifiers? Small stuffed animal. Noisy rattler. I like the bath stuff idea too.
bayhaysay Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 baby food, spoons, books, snacks, keepsake jewelry
whafs8 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Yes I did sock and little mittens and toothpaste and we even did baby food jars one year. and little hand toys. Bath cloths as well.
sheli Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My dd is turning 1 on 1/2/06 so I am in the same boat for stocking stuffers, and of course she has 3 older brothers who expect santa to bring her stocking stuff too. SO.... 1 Pack of Socks, 1 Sippy Cup, 1 baby toothbrush and paste pack, 1 Care Bear (small one), 1 Pack Onesies, 1 To-Go Cookie cup (teddy grahams) and 3 Weebles. Of course her Grammy bought the worlds biggest Baby's first stocking she could find so it took forever to fill.
emptynest-2 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Don't forget little books alog with the items listed above. Merry Christmas to all.
*sparkles* Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Our dd was a little younger last Christmas but for her we did board books, baby bitter biscuits, baby cereal like those Gerber puffs, bibs, socks, and a couple smaller toys.
nubeedeallover Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 We have an 11 m/o too! When is her bday? 01/21/05 here-didn't it go by fast? Did you see the Little People Christmas figurines? We got him those two-perfect for stocking stuffers. A couple of little books and a little stuffed snowman. :-)

We got him those two-perfect for stocking stuffers. A couple of little books and a little stuffed snowman. :-)1/25/05 here :) .... and I know, it flew buy We did St. Nicks day here and she got a stuffed snowman and 4 board books already LOL. Did not see the Little People Christmas figurines - where did you get them from? They'd go great since I got her both the $10 LP sets from Walmart I was thinking about hitting Dollar Tree, but I'm not sure I want to do that for an infant (yes, I'm paranoid LOL). We have tons of sippy cups that she won't drink out of (I think we've tried every brand), and she just got her 2nd tooth, but gags on food. We don't do biter biscuits because our 4 year old choked really bad on one when he was a baby. These ideas are great!
civicracinggirl7 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 You can pick up these rings that they can snap together at WM or wherever. I'm not sure what they're called, but they're in the baby section. My youngest niece had them when she was a baby and she loved them. They link together to become like a "chain".
phins_jazy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My daugher is 14 months and in her stocking I'm putting the christmas little people in a tube, christmas peek a blocks, puffies (she LOVES those things!) and a pair of pj's
JazzMama Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 1/25/05 here :)Did not see the Little People Christmas figurines - where did you get them from? I didn't see the Christmas ones there, but my Big Lots had quite a few 2 and 3-pack figures for $2.99 each. I think that some of them even had one person/one animal or one person/one vehicle. They were very cute! I just put my daughter's Little People sets in her closet b/c she doesn't play with them anymore (she's 4) = that was so sad! Also, you could put a Baby Einstein movie, her favorite desert baby food, a Santa hat, pyjamas or onesies...
Kandy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Little People, little spoons/fork, hair bows, baby toothbrush/paste, a book, baby einstein dvd,
aolson Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My little one is only 3 months, so she is really tough... I bought the Cinderella DVD for her stocking, because I always put a DVD in my sons stocking, and I decided I needed to start stocking up on the girly movies. She is also getting a few rattles, a small stuffed ladybug, teethers (she already got one about to pop through!). But this thread gave me some more ideas, so I am going to go out and get some of those biscuits (they can be put away for a few months after, she won't know) and maybe a Little Einsteins DVD.
Lyricsmama Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Gerber Fruit Puffs, Sippy Cups (if she isnt taking well to them try the nuby soft spout ones they're GREAT for transitioning), bibs, onsies, hair accessories, socks, board books, stuffed animals, tooth brush, smaller toys (lil people, rattles, cloth teething books).
sheli Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Avent makes a great soft tipped sippy cup, pricey but nice. And Gerber Fruit Puffs are awesome!!! The Gerber fruit chews are good too!
Guest Deals4Me Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 We had a hard time too...Alex was 10/19 so just 2 months by the time christmas hit...we really didnt do much....pacifiers and one of those baby einstein learning toys...
mychza Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My daughter is a year and a half. I put some cookies (my dh tried to put candy in there, maybe he thinks he's getting double if he does that. :) ) We also put in some sm beanies from disney store and a tiny board book. I may throw an orange in there on christmas morning. I'm so excited though. Last year she was too young to understand anything that was going on really, but now she can open presents and play with things. I'm more excited for her to finally open the things bought her almost a month ago than to get anything myself. Yea christmas. <- her <-- me & DH
brownlands Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 We did the baby food too. Also teething rings, sippy cups (you can never have to many), bath products are a good idea too.
nubeedeallover Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Did not see the Little People Christmas figurines - where did you get them from? Got those at Target-in the candy holiday section at the front. That was the first thing I purchased and haven't been in that section since, so wouldn't know if they'd have them anymore. Do you know the only sippy cup my son will drink from is the one made by evenflo with the straw? He refuses anything else-easier on me anyway-I don't have to break a sippy cup now. Just a thought. Those biter biscuits are scary! He always breaks off a large chunk of those every time I give him one. I stopped giving him them. He just gets those Gerber puffs now..those are great! How about those Gerber juices? Or WM always has tons of those little toys. Or someone else mentioned Linkadoos-there are also lots of toys that go with that. Shoes? Those are small enough to fit in there. Peekablocks are fun...you could take them out of the packaging and wrap each one. They're changing so much at this age. It was absolutely impossible for me to buy ahead of time for him-I didn't know what stage he'd be at. He started walking on Thanksgiving-I got lots of toys after that-Like that hippo that gobbles up the peekablocks..I'm so excited about that. Are you taking advantage of the xmas sales for her bday? We got the laugh and learn learning home for his bday. All set now! Take care...good luck finding stockings stuffers..this is a great thread..I thought I was done buying for him...I may have to get a couple more stocking stuffers-LOL!
fairydustcrissy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 One stocking stuffer I got was the stuffed Charlie Brown @ Kohls. Its $5.00, and proceeds go to charity. Its super cute, and it actually looks kinda like Eli! I also got him some of the chunky hot wheels ( I think they are actually sesame street).
miller205 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 OMG!! MY son was born 1/25/2005 too!!! I am in the same boat as you. I probably won't do too many stocking stuffers. Definitely the baby toothbrush and toothpaste. Have you tried the Gerber Little Dippers? They are little eating utensils that when you dip them in pudding or yogurt or what ever the it stays on it w/o falling off and the baby learns to feed themselves w/o the hassle of needing to find the right side of a spoon or fork. You could do those in the stocking. Nick (my baby) loves his. As the other person said, this year has gone by soooo fast. I cannot believe it and he is my last one for sure so it is a really bittersweet time for me what with all of his developing independence. Cash for the piggy bank is always nice for a baby stocking too I guess! I don't know about you but I ended up getting him way more than I thought I would for Christmas this year.
brynnfromtheblock Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Same here, we just buy the things we would buy anyway (baby crackers, gummie, food etc) and put it in the stocking so the others will think she got something, plus one or 2 little toys (I think this year I bought a mini see n say and a ball)

She is also our last child (3's enough for me). We just keep buying for her, but at this point, we're going to take some of the gifts and put them away for her birthday. The sad part is that she got quite a few "large" learning toys and we've spent more on each boy than we did on her. That's our defense
shopping mom Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 For our daughter's first Christmas stocking we did a Pooh ball, mittens, hat, small carebear, bath toys, and other things that I can not remember now. I do remember the ball was her favorite thing. This year I think I will need one of those giant stockings I kept finding cute things a great prices!!
miller205 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Hope1976: It kind of stinks that their birthday is so close to Christmas. We bought the baby a big Radio Flyer wagon for his bday but I have a feeling my husband will cave in and give it for Christmas (the little guy loves riding around the house in my older daughter's little wagon). Then we will have to buy more for the birthday! I saw someone post about putting a little See N Say in the stocking. I like that idea. I will definitely do that. Besides being my last child (I have 2 daughters 11 and 15 too!!) he is our only boy so the spoiled meter is getting pretty high. I have to admit though that this holiday season has been so enjoyable if not incredibly busy. I am sure that my girls will enjoy playing with his toys as much as he will. Enjoy the holidays with your family!!
hannahs_momma Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 My daughters birthday is also 1/21 but born in 03 how neat. See I am having the reverse issue I have a 15 year old who could care less and a three year old that needs a stocking so all presents to the 15 yr old are now marked from Santa lol
ajburlingame Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Our daughter was 5 months last year and will be 17 months this year for Christmas. Last year her stocking had a new set of bibs, socks, wipes, board book, rubber ducky, onsies and a few other things that I can't remember. This year Santa is putting more socks, a small purse, more bath toys, a dora ball, bob the builder watch (she loves bob) and a 2nd christmas hallmark ornament.
