I make them up for my nieces. They like makeup and hair stuff -- all the typical girly things. I always put chocolate in there, too, because you can never go wrong with that! :guitarist

Yup, I'd put my legs in a nice pair, the question is do you go for hold-ups or suspenders? :sneaky:

I really like that, Buttercup. I must try it next year for my daughter and son (I know I won't get it all thought out now in time for this year)

On my budget this year, "stocking stuffers" will be regular gifts.

I usually put candy, little toys, coloring books, crayons, mittens and stuff like that.

Me too. And I put in a new toothbrush in a 'cute' design, like pokemon, and a smallish tube of toothpaste. It's a very useful gift after all that choccie! :wah:

Hawkins Bazaar make some great stocking fillers - very cheap. :-4

These little music boxes are also great for kids, you twist the handle to play each note. And there's a lot of choices, not just Xmas music.

I enjoy the stockings the best - for men/women gloves - candy - key chain-

sometimes jewlery - make up/cologne. My nephew gets a condom, fun things.

My husband has a habit of hiding some of my gifts - last year a small gift was placed on the blade of the ceiling fan - until I turned the fan on, he loves Christmas - I'd rather go to Vegas .

I love christmas stockings.

My x-husband's parents would always use Christmas to get at each other in a bad way. Like they would put a rock in his stocking and tell him he was bad. This was when he was an adult. Or they'd buy weird, strange and out of context kind of joke gifts. Things that you wouldn't keep. I don't know maybe I'm being negative. I just always thought christmas was the time of year to be nice to your family and friends.

I have a store called BACK ALLEY - do you have them? They have cool stuff very cheap/reasonable. web - Backalley discounts.com.
