Non-crap stocking stuffers

Any good ideas here for a 3-year old?  I also need to fill (somewhat) the newb's stocking, too, so Jack doesn't think he's Santa's fave or something. 

Anyway, what can I put in Jack's stocking that won't be thrown away in like a month?  And if you have any ideas for a newborn's stocking, that would be great, too.

Brain = fried.

    We usually get her one gift, but I've been buying early this year, then I forget what I have.  I found the stash today, and E is getting a ton of stuff for Christmas, oops!

  • This isn't a stocking stuff, but I thought of Jack when I saw it.

  • Is it bad that I don't do stocking stuffers?  Will my kids grow up scarred? 

     

    I'm sure I'll start it up in a few years, most likely.
