Bath Drops and Crayons: These seem to make it into stockings
every year. On cold or rainy days, we pull these out and take
even longer baths to keep the kids busy.
Rubix Cubes: I got this little set of 2 for
Oskar. He’s a puzzle lover, through and through, and the smaller cube will be
perfect for him to practice on. He and his dada, who can use the bigger cube,
can have races to see who solves it first.
Rubber Frog: This one’s right up in August’s
alley. A big, rubber, stretchy, frog. This is great to pick up and play with
and I’m sure will be used to prank mama once or twice.
Initial Ballcap: Another jackpot find for August, who is SO into hats
lately. I just love this one with his first initial that will definitely make
him look more little boy than baby.
Fingerling: I scooped up 2 of these since they’re the perfect size
for stockings, and lots of comments on mom discussion boards say that their
kids, who received them last year during the Fingerling craze, still regularly
play with them and they’re still a favorite this many months out.
Marvel Uno: This one’s for Oskar, our little family game night
fanatic. He loves games and Marvel and recognizes his numbers, so it’s sure to
be a hit.
LEGO take along sets here
and here: LEGO is everything in our house, and I love these little
sets to pack up and take along when we go to restaurants or places with no
toys. They can build these and play with them for just enough time to keep them
busy and well behaved.
Activity Book: Because what’s a stocking without one or two of these. I
like these options because they’re lighter on coloring (still not Oskar’s
favorite), but include word searches, find and seek, mazes, and connect the
dots, which he’s way more into.
Where’s Waldo Christmas
Spectacular: Childhood
nostalgia. If your kids love I Spy books, like ours, I raise you Where’s Waldo.
Lipsmacker Set: A must-have for any little girl.
Elf Popper: we have this in the Easter Bunny version, and the kids
still LOVE it.
Joke Book: I love this idea—Oskar making his whole family laugh for
the rest of Christmas day, which is totally his love language.
Hair Bows: The prettiest hair bows you ever did see.
Measuring
Tape: File this and the flashlight
under “items my kids end up playing with the most”.
Toothbrush: Every year
stocking staple.
Scavenger Hunt Car Game:
Perfect for Oskar (and maybe even August) to keep him busy in the car for any road
trips we may go on.
Reindeer Skid Proof Slipper
Socks: These are so stinkin cute, and only $7.99.
Annie’s Fruit Snacks:
We throw the green and red bags of these fruit snacks into Stockings every year.
Invisible Disappearing Ink
Pens: This magical invisible ink writes
“secret messages”. Once your secret message is written with this invisible ink
pen, wait a few seconds, then shine the light from the cover of the pen and reveal
what it says. Perfect for playing detective or good guys/bad guys—I know the boys will absolutely love these.
Undies: A good
stocking filler—this is our favorite brand of kids undies outside of Hanna
Andersson.
