Grandsons Christmas Stocking Candy  

Making the stockings are my favorite part of Christmas. Along with candy,junk food and small gifts I include bubble bath,shampoo,and toothbrushes and toothpaste. Sine they are going to need to brush after all that candy.

Well, I don't have any grandkids, but I like to do stockings for my son. This will be my daughters first Christmas, and she will be getting one too. I am not sure what to put in hers since she is really too little to be eating a bunch of candy. I do candy and a few small gifts for my son in his stocking each year.

i sometimes find it very difficult to come up with ideas for stockings. i have to fill my parents and they are hard to buy for. i like to be creative or get things on sale. for my mom this year, i bought a package of snowman napkins at a garage sale (brandnew of course!)(she loves snowmen!)

Thank you so much for this discussion. I had totally forgotten about stockings. I do not have any kids to buy for when it comes to stockings as all the little ones in my family celebrate Hanukkah and not Christmas but I do have 2 stockings to fill with candy and odds and end things.

I didn't know Cub Foods was still open, the ones here closed down.:)
I still make up a stocking for my son and he is 16 years old and My mom still makes my son one also, lucky him.lol I do make Christmas stockings for my two granddaughters. It's so much fun to make them. I love to see kids excited at Christmas.

I love stockings. I would rather get them than a gift anyday. I don't know why I like them so much. My mother in law and my grandmother make them for us and they give us gifts too. My husband and I always make one for each other too and we've done that since our first christmas together. I guess that's kinda our tradition now. We don't usually put much candy in them though. We do stuff like those little cans of shaving cream, body wash, cologne, etc... And I make one for our son too. I've already started buying some stuff to go in my husband's stocking that I make for him. I've just got to find some stuff to go in my son's because he is only 18 months old so we don't give him much candy.

Let me tell you being a depression bay the stocking was my only Christmas gift and even then it was the town that gave us the stuffings ... a bag of candy , a hockey togue, and a Maple leaf hockey sweater and you know we were grateful and happy with all the festivities My son and daughter use to count the gifts and Kim would say Daddy how come Scott has 24 gifts and i only had 22 ..oh my how could i be so incentive ..Now the tradition has been carried on again and Michelle and Shannon count the gifts so what can i do .....Rather then candies we have far more boxes of chocolates ...Suffice to say a fantastic celebration is ahead of us ....Thanks for sharing and Good Luck

I have matching stocking for everyone in my family....but only the ones that are here on Christmas get filled. That is their and my favorite part of Christmas.....I fill the olders ones with gas gift cards etc....but the favorite stocking stuffer for everyone is the McDonald's coupons they get.....my son who is almost 30 can hardly wait until the day after Christmas then runs to use his right away! Big kid!

your picture of goodies look so yummy grandpa... can i have one stocking too for this christmas, please...??? :-) i think i have to start shopping and fill some stockings with goodies as well for my sunday school kids... thanks again for the discussion... God Bless you...

I really do not want to even think about grandchildren or stockings for many, many years.

Now my girls on the other hand get three. One at their dad's, one here, and one at my parent's house. The ones here and at their dad's are filled with little gifts and candy. Now the one they get at my parents house has fruit, nuts, and candy. My girls are 14 and 12, they still dump their stockings out at grandma and grandpa's looking for that elusive present they are so sure is suppose to be in there.
