The stocking stuffer gift possibilities are endless!
You can build a theme for the stocking (think PJs, slipper socks, books, new toothbrushes, a small stuffy, candy). Or include things that go with that huge Santa gift. I swear I have more fun with the stockings than buying the big gift, but then again, isn’t that half the fun of Christmas? Did we miss any? Add them in the comments!
Wish there was a printable version of this…
That’s a great idea Britteny. I should make a note of that.
