I always enjoy seeing what others buy their kids for Christmas. Especially stocking stuffers. I find it can be so easy to buy little things just for the sake of filling the stockings. I myself like to buy some practical items, consumable items and just for fun items.
How do you like to fill stockings?
Here are the items I bought for my daughters. Age 5 and age 9.
- Gourmet Du Village Hot Chocolate - These are so fun. Most of the ones I bought are colour changing. I also found these in our local toy store.
- Nerds - My youngest has been asking for some nerds for a long time so Christmas day is the day.
- Kinetic Sand - Both my girls like Kinetic sand and I thought these scented ones would be fun.
- Charleston Chew - Ever since Halloween, my oldest has been asking me to find some in the store. I was unable to find the long ones anywhere, but I found a bag of round ones on Amazon!
- Home Depot Kids Workshop Kit - Before the pandemic, The Home Depot used to offer free in-store kids workshops where they would receive a kit with all the supplies they would need to build a wooden toy. Even though they aren't doing the in-store workshops currently, you can still ask to receive a free kit to take home!
- Old Navy Slipper Socks - I love these socks and I thought my daughters would enjoy them as well!
- Flying Glider - I found these in our local toy store for $0.99.
- Wet Brush - These were a Dollarama find!
- Snowman Bath Bomb - These are from Lush. I believe a rainbow of colours comes out once it's in the water.
If you are looking for other stocking stuffer ideas, I compiled a couple of lists for you:

This is the first year I’m actually doing stockings (my kids are 3 and 1). To make it a little easier I took a little rhyme about Christmas presents and modified it for stockings:
Mom’s Recipe for a Christmas Stocking
something you want,
something you need,
something to wear,
something to read,
something to eat
and something that’s pure fun,
wrap them all up and your Christmas stocking is done!
I think it will work for all ages (even adults) and it’s fun finding items that meet the rhyme in clever ways!
That is such a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
