What should I put in the stockings?

I hear this comment a lot. I just wanted to list some things I put in our stockings. If you have other things, please leave a comment, we can all use the help.

Everyone gets:
their favorite snacks, including some fruit
socks
a book
toothbrush
some kind of little toy (one year it was wind up toys, one year fidgets)

The girls get:
a nice Christmas plate and cup
brush
ponytails, clips and headbands

Jeff gets:
a gift certificate

Sometimes:
toiletries, like shampoo and lotion (razors for Jeff and Ashlea)
kleenex
bandaids
gloves
caps
small toy that is different for each child...polly pockets for older girls, linking beads for Millicent, cars for Asa
pens, pencils, erasers
small notebooks, note cards, sticky notes
fingernail polish
jewelry
a CD
chapstick
cooking utensils for Ashlea
tools for Jeff
washcloths for Millicent
bath toys for babies
art supplies
air fresheners, candles for Ashlea

Very prectical. I've never been practical about stockings, but I think I might consider it this year... if my kids won't rebel!

We're usually full with a DVD, candy, little toys. If Santa brings things requiring batteries, that's about as practical as I usually get. :)

we can't do underwear because Jeff has a tradition from his family...when you get underwear for Christmas you put it on your head.

FORGET IT. We arent doing that! LOL
