Enough said right? When I was a little girl we always got oranges for Christmas in the toe part of our stockings. Well my family has recently rediscovered Cuties and we LOVE them! The baby could eat 10 a day if I would let her! (She loved oranges last year too though!) SO these little yummies will for sure be a big part of stockings this year.Other than that I do toothbrushes, body washes/lotion/cologne, candy, little trinkets and toys including stickers, and im not sure what else right now... We didn't do stockings last year cause we were at disneyland...
SO what are you Christmas stocking staples? And while we are at it- do you have a limit on how many gifts your kids get from Santa? If so what is it?
You'll want to check this out if you really like Cuties! A FREE 5lb. box at any US safeway, Vons, Dominick's, Genuardi's, Randall's, Tom Thumb, Carrs & Pavilions. I hear you have to read the fine print on how much your purchase has to be and all. I hope it works because we're heading that way tomorrow. I'll be disappointed if there are issues. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteThere is always an orange or an apple at the end of the stocking - just like when I was a kid. My hubby thought it was weird. I always put in underwear and socks, toothpaste, and lotions. Then the rest is fun stuff that is tailored to the child.
ReplyDeleteWOuld you beleive we dont have ANY of those stores... HAHA figures doesnt it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of cuties..are they mandarines? When I was a child we didn't do stockings..but mom would buy those kids of treats for Christmas mornings.

For our stockings here I usually put chocolates, socks,mitts, a little stuffy, bath stuff, for the older boys boxers, socks, treats, gum, body wash, body spray..like Axe..
We always had oranges in the toe, too, growing up. DH thinks it's weird...but he doesn't like oranges anyway. Just me and Sam do, and she eats 4 a day lately lol.
ReplyDeleteOur stocking always have some chocolate and a bunch of fun junk. Kylie will get scented nail polish and a book, Jacob will get some magic tricks. Sam will get whatever junk I find at Dollarama :) .
I never did stockings when I was growing up but my in-laws do and always have cuties, chocolates, nuts, and little flashlights! I especially love the chocolates.. :)
