Stocking stuffers?? What are you giving?

I have no clue what to put in L's stocking.  All I've gotten at this point is a LIfesavers Gummies Storybook and a Diego sticker/candy thing (much to my dismay, he LOVES Diego.  Thank God he isn't all that fond of Sid the Science Kid or Caillou).

I was thinking maybe a new toothbrush, but that's all I can figure out.  We definitely don't need any more trinkety sh!t around our house, so I'd like to get some fairly practical things rather than the junk they have in the stocking stuffer aisle at Target (though those wands with the lights that spin are pretty freaking cool...)

    Benjamin will get a bag of M&Ms, an orange (a family tradition), a toothbrush, toothpaste, tylenol, etc.

     

    He is getting a ton of gifts, but I love the idea of a stocking...so for now, it'll be things that we'd buy anyway, and he gets the excitement of opening them.

     

    I am pretty lame, though!

    I'm doing arts and crafts supplies in DS's stocking-new paintbrushes, paints, glitter glue pens, pom-poms, etc.  Like you, we definitely didn't need any more trinkets in the house, and he was running low on some art stuff, so I decided to do this.

    So far, just some matchbox cars and one of those small squishy cars from Tonka. ?I'll probably add some paperback books and some kind of snack.

    book, CD, diapers for her baby doll, bath toys, bubble bath, bath soap, markers for the bath tub, stickers, and I think that's it.

    She has a huge stocking so I've been picking up things here and there. So far I have tights, socks (exciting, huh but they're great fillers), books, two movies, the little train set from Target $ aisle, a stuffed puppy, stickers, coloring book, crayons, chapstick, hair clips and headbands, playdoh. I'm going to get bubble bath, a battery operated toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo. My mom always did a beauty stocking and as I got older she'd fill mine with nice lotions, makeup and my favorite shampoo and conditioner so I'll do that with DD as she gets older.

    lots of stuff other people have mentioned - ohter ideas I don't think I saw are bubbles (not bubble bath) and color tablets for the bath

     for my older dd (4), some lip gloss that she'll freak over, but you probably don't want to get that :-)
