    LOL I just re-read through the whole thing & noticed that! Nevermind we found some on ebay & the kids were thrilled with them, instead of having them in stockings I gave them with presents to the nieces & nephews & friends, went down very well.

    righto mine are just about done
    Bit daggy but I've gone for a theme this year. DD has discovered Tinkerbell (we're not really into themed anything so this is big for her), and DS has found a love of cars (as little boys do) and animals so that's the general theme of their stocking stuffers...actually it continues into their pressies too.

    Darcy: Tinkerbell; activity pack, pen, little stationary set, necklace and hair clips. She also has a little Miss Christmas book, a couple of Christmas lollies, coins, and a pink LED torch (we have lots and lots of blackouts here) and a toothbrush will go in there too.
    Nate: two little puzzles, a Mr Men Christmas book, 5 matchbox cars, some cars crayons, a little book about transport, a box of cadbury animals and a toothbrush.

    I have two spare stocking this year and so will put some little bits and pieces for DH and I in them, but I'm, at a bit of a loss. I might get me some new undies lol but DH has about 40pairs each of socks and undies....aside from a toothbrush and a box of licorice allsorts I've got no real idea....and very limited shopping scope here.

    For big people I've done things like batteries, nail scissors, coupon book (back massages, sleep ins etc), new snack foods (fancy nuts & things we don't usually get), itunes / bunnings / bookshop cards.

    I forgot about this thread too.

    For DD this year we have a set of ABC/Memory cards that I got from a photo website so it has her pic on the back of each card, an ornament (both kids get one every year), coloured pencils, a notepad

    For DS I have a "baby's first Christmas" ornament

    Im heading off to the cheap shops during this week to get some more things. Im on the lookout for small books, hair accessories, clothing for DS, and someother cheap toys & games. Maybe some nailpolish for DD because she's obsessed with it at the moment
