  LOL...ummmm....I don't know. I'm not much help. I honestly cannot think of anything for Miles' stocking. He has several little cars, trains, etc. and I'm not giving an 18-month-old candy in their stocking.

  I need ideas too. I'm hijacking your post.

  Target has Christmas tree shaped DoodlePros for about $5 in their stocking stuffer area.  I picked up one for C. I usually put trains or cars into there as well as a dvd or two and a small pack of art supplies (crayons, color wonder stuff, paper, playdoh, etc).

  I'm bad, but I buy stuff that the kids need anyway and stick it in their stockings!  haha...for example: new toothbrushes, toothpaste, baby wash, detangling spray, lotion, chapstick, I might get Claire some nail polish, hair bows, crayons.  I always liked getting stuff like that in my stocking because it's funny to think of "Santa" bringing you things like toothpaste!

  Thanks   Plus, I'm cheap with things like this, and it's a way to fill their stockings nice and full with stuff I'd normally buy anyway!

  I forgot about the toothbrush.  We do that as well.  Also, we do a small package of goldfish crackers instead of candy.  He loves the crackers and still thinks of them as a treat.

  The boys are each getting a DVD, a Jibbitz bracelet (filled with Jibbitz), and probably a candy cane-shaped package of m&m's.  I might also put their Spiderman/Batman t-shirts I got them in there...or Hotwheels or a new Thomas train.
