Every year, Becky and I put together a list of 50 stocking stuffers for kids. We actually try and stock up on these items all year round. Whenever we see something that they might like or need we try to grab it as a stocking stuffer and we store them away. Remember, they can be really simple and everyday things.
Ps- Our kids already know that we put things in the stocking, too (it isn’t just Santa that does it in our house. We are allowed to add to it before we go to bed- before Santa comes.) So… if they happen to see some of these things ahead of time and then it appears in their stocking or under the tree… its OK, because Santa lets us help! 🙂 He’s nice in that way, you know.
Here are some of my favorite affiliate links to things that we either have added to our kids stockings in the past, or plan on adding this year.
