So I am almost done my christmas shopping. All I have left to do is our stockings. We are a family of 4 there is My husbnad and I, and our 2 boys ages 8 and our youngest will be 10 months exactly on Christmas day.
Normally in our stocking each year you will find a toothbrush, some candy, and fuzzy socks. Then I will find differnt things to add each year. I put some kind of tools in my husbands like screw drivers and guy type things, cologne, deoderant, car air freshners.
My oldest son usally gets some little things from the dollar store, a video game, wii points card. I have no idea what to put in my sons who will be 10 months old though, so far all I have is babylegs and a teether.
I have to go shopping soon, so thought I would ask what does everyone put in stocking at thier houses?

We don't really do that here. Well, i'm not sure with other families but my family don't. It'd be great though. Sounds exciting to find some interesting things during christmas. If ever we did that here, i'm hoping to find lamborgini inside. Lol

lol yes a Lamborgini would be an awsome find! Where are you from, and what do you do to celebrate the holidays, or what do you celebrate?

i don't think a 10 month old will really care what you put in his stocking. i think the the whole day will be a joy for him. my niece and her 3 year old daughter are living with us and it will be so much fun to have a little one around again at christmas. i plan on slipping some crayons in her stocking on top of what her mother gets her. her mother says she wants us to get the child a learning toy, so i will. but i'm betting a coloring book or 2 --or 5--will please her. for the grown ups... i will get hubby some cologne, socks, sugar free candy. and i always make him a booklet of tickets he can redeam. ''this ticket good for on back rub''... ''this ticket good for one car wash''...you've seen these i'm sure. also, every year i buy what will go in my stocking...who else will do that if i don't? it's most important this year as the baby will wonder why santa didn't fill aunties stocking. " have you been naughty, auntie?'' all in all it be a lot of fun and lots of love here at our house and i am wishing the same for you and yours.

I know he wont care, but I dont want is brother who is 8 asking question, about why Santa didnt bring his brother anything..or much for in his stocking. I also buy my stocking stuff....like you said who else will do it.
A 3 yearo old at christmas is so much fun, it is a great age and they are so excited. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea of the coupon book!! that would be a great idea not only for hubby, but also for my 8 year old. Things like i get out of vacumming chore card and things like that!
Thanks for that great idea, and have a great christmas and lots of fun with your niece and her daughter!!
