Re: What do you put in LO's stocking

If you do stocking stuffers that is....

I was complaining to a co-worker how stocking stuffers is just going to end up being a bunch of crap from the dollar store that clutters up our house, or candy that will get her wired, etc.  He then suggested getting DD things she needs like a toothbrush (she loves her Dora one, for instance), socks or whatever.  Of course handmade stuff would work too, but at this stage in my pregnancy that doesn't look very likely. 

So what sorts of things do you put in your LO's stocking?  I need some EF ideas....alternatively we might skip stockings altogether this year as she won't really care until next year.  Thanks!

    I like the more practical/useful items with just a couple goodies - like some crackers, or small toys in there. C is getting snack cups in her stocking (that's actually the only thing I bought her - I figure she doesn't need a lot and the family has sent a few things for her to unwrap).

    Here's a site someone else posted about stockings stuffers by age.

    We found some (not EF) small wooden train cars and then I'm thinking of sticking in a cookie cutter or two so he can make shaped sandwiches (thanks to whichever EFFer just posted something to that effect on FB) and then it's always tradition in our household to get a piece of fruit - usually an orange, although DS is more into apples...  That will be it.  Providing we find something to be a stocking...  My mom is making him one but it's not done yet, and I don't want to buy a cheap one that we'd throw away in a year.

    Last year (when DS was 3 months old), he got a board book (Guess How Much I Love you), a toy keychain (that he STILL plays with), a toothbrush (even though he didn't use it for another 9 months), a BPA free teether, Baby Einstein movie and a Baby Einstein CD.  I *think* that's it.

    This year, he's getting 2 packs of jumbo crayons (they were BOGO free), a "My First Coloring Book" made (by me) out of scrap paper, a 5" firetruck from Chuck the Talking Truck & Friends, a bottle of bubbles (for his favorite bathtoy), a board book (Oh the Things You Can Think), a straw sippy cup (we needed a couple more anyway, so I bought a 2 pack and one is for the stocking), a belt (on the clearance rack for 99 cents!), a winter hat (that he's already been using because it's so freakin' cold here) and a matching pair of mittens.  Think that's it...

    DH is getting a CD, a drawstring bag to keep his frisbees in (for disc golf), a set that includes a leather card holder/collar stays/money clip, some candy, and a snow scraper brush.  Pretty sure that's all.  I decided not to do deoderant, body wash, etc this year since that's not much of a real gift... and our budgets for each other are relatively small.
