When I was a kid our stockings (which were the traditional sock type) were always filled with lollies, underwear, batteries (for those toys that never come with them!) and that's about it. Mind you - there were a stack of lollies in them. My Mum would start buying lollies in about June! Both my parents also had a stocking which had stuff like undies. DH and I have decided when we do stockings for our kiddies (when the time comes) there won't be any lollies in them but they will get little things like batteries, toy cars - things of that general size.
