We do. We are going to Cancun 1.5 weeks after Christmas so I am putting in all sorts of trial size stuff (shampoo, body wash, etc), but in addition to that a CD, a stylus for his Ipad, wipey things for the ipad and a screen cleaner for it. Would love other ideas!
candy, socks, little gadget things (like new screens or cover). sometimes cologne.
it depends what i find out there.
i also have stocking for my dog he gets treats

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

Usually the stocking is my last priority, so DH gets whatever I can grab in the checkout line at the grocery store. Note to self - make more of an effort this year!

2 IUI's = BFN, m/c, IVF 1 = 0 embies to put back, IVF 2 = BFN, IVF 3 = cancelled, IVF 4 = BFP with 1 embie. Our son came into our life on 9/28/11. We are in love!
Yep! Socks, boxers, undershirts, candy, a bottle of wine, sometimes a small gift card to Dunkin or Starbucks.

MH and I do stockings with my Mom and step-Dad. We end up with very full stockings since everyone has three people buying for them. MH ends up with things like candy, socks, underwear, hunting gear (knives and stuff, I know, gross), iPod accessories for the gym, goggles this year, sometimes a Christmas tree ornament from my Mom, little bottles of alcohol or beer, decals for his snowboard...
ETA - this year I also added three mini purell bottles (he's obsessed) and a rubber thing for his dash that is supposed to stop your phone from sliding off - both things purchased at the check out at BBB.

My husband has a major sweet tooth so candy is a must. I got him some little techy things from thinkgeek. I also got him an sd card to go with the digital picture frame I got him for his work. In the past I've done razors, cd, dvd, a magazine subscription, small gift cards for fast food lunches, etc.

No...we;ve never done stockings. My Mom does them and spends loads of $. We've just never spent the money on stockings...I would probably get out of control and spend hundreds of $$$$$$$$$$ so I avoid it.

My mom does ornaments for each of us, DH's mom does lottery tickets and candy. I usually stick the smallest gift for DH in it. *Last year it was a jar of hot sauce from BW3 LOL. But this year I took a few "bedroom" shots that I put in an envelope for him (see blog for the story of me doing them myself LOL). *note: we are opening our stockings just the two of us before we go off to in laws for christmas morning so no one but him will see these photos.
And since I'm trying to be more DIY this year I am also making him book marks and putting those in his stocking.
