Did you see the stocking stuffer ideas thread? There is alot of ideas for everyone.
glitterstarr Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I only fill one stocking which is my daughters. I usually fill hers with chapstick, hair clippies and other things for her hair, nail polish. Anything small that will interest a 17 year old.
mrn8 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 One for my wife and probably one for my son, this year. He was only 4 months old last year, so he got some gifts, but stocking stuff didn't really make sense.
sns128 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 We do the kids, and us only. I am planning on doing little gift bags for my nieces and nephew this year with things like chapstick, toothbrushes, candy, etc.
smangham Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 DH DS DD Then DH does mine. Sometimes I do one for the dog, too.
Cecilliadb Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Just DH and DS....I will be at my MIL's this year so if she dosent do anything I will probably do one for her and my FIL and DH's brothers.
holly2hottie Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 DH DS X2 Mom Step Dad Sister So a total of 6. I love stockings.
copados1993 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 We only do stockings for our kids. We use to do it for my Grandparents when I was growing up.
Christy Garner Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I love stockings too but have a hard time deciding what to put in them. I have referred to the stocking stuffers list and it gave some good ideas.
Gporter34 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Hubby, the 5 kids, and the 5 dogs, and myself
Illinoismom Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Hubby 4 kids and myself, But I hang stockings all over the house in family room, kitchen, foyer and on the stocking holders in the family room, I also hanf small stockings in the bathroom
tokanm Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 The kids and the cats (and the bunnies and guinea pigs always get a special food treat for Christmas or a chew toy) Hey afterall it is Christmas:gdthums: When do you open your stockings? We have a tradition not to open them until bedtime on Christmas night. I found that "Christmas" was over so quickly and everyone seems a little sad that 'its over already" so saving them until that night gives them something to look forward to. My friend has Santa put them on the kids beds so when they wake up way too early on Christmas morning they must stay in bed but can open the stocking and play with whats in their. That Santa thinks of everything though, he always puts in something to eat for breakfast like honey buns or breakfast bars:giggle:
shopping mom Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I do 4 DS 2 DD, and anyone who is visiting over the holidays. Last year DH's stepbrother was here with the in-laws. He is 27, but he really enjoyed the stocking as much as the gifts.
druffing Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Where is the stocking stuffers list??? I need that-I do them for all family...7 adults and three children-two baby girls and a 3 1/2 year old. The guys are the hardest.
hopeky94 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Where is the stocking stuffers list???Check out http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=48999 for the stocking stuffers thread (it's in the GiftFinder forum)... As for stockings in my family: when I was little, there were full-sized stockings for both parents, me, my brother & sister, and a little one for my cats. But in recent years, since my parents are "empty-nesters," my mom puts a small amount of money and some candy in miniature stockings (the 2-3" ones) for everybody (immediate family plus spouses, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and any boyfriends/girlfriends that will be around). The fun part is, she and I hide them at various places on the tree on Christmas Eve... then before opening gifts on Christmas morning, everyone has to go find their stocking!
sammy50 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I fill 5 stockings husband son/girlfriend daughter/boyfriend I usually buy different chocolate and toiletry items. Don't go too overboard.
