So while we are not going overboard on gifts, we are still doing stockings. They have always been my favorite part of Christmas morning. Growing up, I was always the first one awake on Christmas Day. I wasn’t allowed to open any gifts until everyone was awake, and after we ate breakfast first. But I was allowed to open my stocking. So usually around 4am, I would sneak downstairs and open my stocking. So here’s some ideas for dad, kids, and yourself. (Because let’s face it, the majority of husband’s forget to fill their wife’s stocking, and you don’t want your child asking why Santa forgot mommy. So treat yourself, and get yourself something nice.)
For Dad:
- Boxer/Briefs
- Lottery Tickets
- Favorite Candy
- Tools
- Small Liquor Bottles
- Airpod Carrying Case
- Dude Wipes
- Beef Jerkey/Favorite Snacks
For Babies:
- Teethers
- Bows (for girls)
- Socks
- Bath Toys
- Stuffed Animal
- Board Books
- Pacifiers
For Toddlers/Preschoolers:
- Candy/Favorite Snacks
- Books
- HotWheels Cars (for boys)
- LOL Dolls (for girls)
- Socks
- PlayDoh
- Melissa & Doug Water Wow
- Watch/Play Jewelry
- Small Lego/Duplo Sets
- Small Toys (Like favorite action figure, stuffed animal or barbie)
- Target Christmas Aisle and Dollar Spot have great options as well! (I found lots of Spider-Man stuff there this year!)
For Mom:
- Make-Up (Even just getting small travel size ones from Sephora or Ulta)
- Lottery Tickets
- Magazines (although honestly, what mom has time to sit and read)
- Bath Bombs
- Face Masks
- Jewelry (Love my @madebymary necklace with Braxton & Kaley’s initials for everyday jewelry and it’s affordable. For Disney inspired jewelry I love @makeitminnie and @lillianandco )
- Beauty Blenders
- Hair Tyes/Scrunchies
12 Days til Christmas! Countdown is on so I hope everyone is ready! I have these, and some others listed in my Amazon Store as well if you want to see them all in one place. I have also updated my “Christmas List” on my Amazon Store with items that Braxton received last Christmas, but still loves and plays with now. I hope everyone has a great weekend celebrating the magic of the Season and making memories with their families!
