Stocking Filler Ideas?

As the title suggests I was wondering what you put in you kids stockings (if you have stockings)

Last year I got lots of $1 and $2 toys but they were really a waste of money :( as they broke or had a bout 2 minutes of use.

This year so far I have a cadbury chocolate stocking to squeeze in each girls stocking (hoping this will bulk it up a bit). I want to get some new licensed undies for each girl and I have been on the my wooden toys website and they have a cute stocking filler pack which looks cute and has whistles and happy sacks etc hoping the wooden stuff lasts longer than the plastic stuff I got last year. I may get a lip balm each but think I need 1 or 2 more ideas.

I always buy socks and jocks...also things like lunch boxes (if they go to school/kinder/creche) or cups with their names on it.
I have also bought icy pole maker mould thingos from the supermarket, big jotters and scrapbooks for drawing, disposable camera, deodorant body spray, hair clips, chalk...

Hope this helps!

We fill our kids ones with little things like hair clips, matchbox cars and juice poppers/fruit boxes, sultanas, air popped popcorn etc.


(Sent from my phone, so I apologise if it makes no sense.)

I was going to suggest hairclips, a new brush, new cool toothrbush, glitter hair gel, lip smackers, toy cars, those little pet toys (littlest pet shop etc).
BUBBLES, new pack of pencils, small coloring books, outside chalk, playdough, cookie cutters, new drink bottles?

I always buy a new toothbrush, undies and singlets. A can of lemonade (such a treat for them), and some of their fave snack foods.

We used to put in socks, undies, a piece of fruit, a book, bubbles, 1 lolly, things for their hair, a small toy, colouring book and pencils.

The schleich horses are a great size for.stockings

Mine get a toothbrush too lol.
DD has a heap of smiggle stuff in hers this year. She loves stationary and writing.
They both have a huge bubble wand.
Small books.
Little bottles of special bubble bath.

socks, a matchbox toy car, a bag of dried fruit and a small chocolate santa or similar (to keep them going whilst they open their main presents. I then add one extra thing per child, such as a barbie type doll or a pack of marbles or toy soldiers. Usually something $5 or less. Might have to add a few more things this year as MIL has knitted all the children Christmas stockings with their names on and they are larger than previous years, but it will be in the same sort of theme.

those 6 little packs of cereal from coles or woolies are awesome stocking fillers:p

Scissors
Pens/pencils/crayon/chalk
Socks
Undies
Toothbrush
Measuring jug
Magnets
Torch
Funny glasses
Pack of cards / card game
Dominos
Dice
Recorder
Feather boa
CD/DVD

The cereal packs are a great idea! Again a good treat

i have my three year old sorted, but im so stuck on my 9 month old. i know she wont remember but my 3 yr old might wonder why santa didnt bring her sister a stcoking!! any ideas!!

beckoes balls are good stocking fillers for little ones, get a couple of brightly coloured ones to take up a bit of room. A baby toothbrush? Some fresh bibs? A summer hat?

I have decided to add a torch to the girls stockings as they love torches. last year I got them a whistle that lighted up whenever you blew into it. It was one of their ffavourite things but it was soooo loud! Never again

Im loving these ideas!!

I have one teeny problem though..... MIL brought the girls their stockings, which are very cute etc but they are absolutely massive.. They make pillow cases look small.

I was thinking this year of stuffing the bottom with filling, but to fill their stocking would cost more than the rest of their pressies combined..

What biggish things could i fill with?

one off those pet pillows for $15? I got the girls fluffy dressing gowns from cheap as chips a few months ago for $10. A $5 beach towel rom big w? a basketball lol last years the girls got a pair of sparkly dunlop volleys each! I took a pair of shoes that I knew fitted them with me when we went shopping.

Beckoes my dd2 will be 9 months old and her stocking (its pretty small) has:
Electric barbie toothbrush
Togs
Little marracas
Little wooden xylophone
Bubbles
Clothes

Little books - Mr Men, Golden books, any op shops books, craft stuff, matchbox cars, undies, pjs,
