Grandsons Christmas Stocking 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.

Hi Grandpa Bob! Wow! That looks like quite the loot pile! I bet your grandsons will enjoy :) Last year was my first Christmas loading a stocking for my daughter, but every year my hubby gets a stocking full from me! I love making stockings for them :) I usually put in a few small gifts, chocolate, and a piece of fruit (apple or orange). I love those Christmas oranges! Luv & Hugzz, Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear.

I have to have three stockings, even for my 14 year olds. They don't get filled until the last moment. I only buy lollies & chocolates for them. I have to be careful what I put in them, due to the heat, & only using wrapped lollies, as my step children are paranoid about food touching the material.

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.

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.

Well the only "kids" I have are my two kitties..but believe it or not I get Christmas stockings for them...LOL I usually fill it up with a bunch of toys for them. Hey! They have to have Christmas stockings too. Are you going to get Buster his own stocking??

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 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.

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!)

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.

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!

yes my friend i love to make everyone a stocking even my hubby and my cat.i think it's lots of fun and i come up with some very creative ideas.i love to see the looks on their faces when they see them.pattie

I don't have any grandchildren but I do make stockings for our children and for my husband. I fills the kid's stockings with toys and small gifts, not tons of candy but we do put some in there. My parents don't do stockings for the grandkids because there are 15 of them. My mom and dad buys all of them gifts though.

I do add small gifts to my stocking too I get things like pencils and crayons and little notebooks and hot wheels cars and hair clips. I would rather they get the small little toys then a bunch of candy as they just had all that candy from halloween. I am glad others buy things besides candy for the stocking too.
