Stocking stuffers
I need some ideas! What are your favorite things to get/give in stockings?
For a 7 month old baby boy... I'm thinking a hat, mittens, maybe some new socks with better grippy things on the bottom since he's really close to crawling. A couple of teethers. His "baby's first christmas" ornament. Maybe as a joke, put a few sweet potatoes in there since they are his favorite food.
For me and DH, I'll get a couple of Reese's peanut butter cup christmas trees, and past that I've got nothing. He likes hot sauce so I'm thinking of getting one of the flavored Cholulua's that he has been meaning to try. I can also get some jalapeno salt from The Spice and Tea Exchange. He loves Irish Breakfast tea, and they have a Keurig machine at work but not that type of tea, so maybe I can try to find him some of those.
For me (since DH is anti-holidays), I will have to come up with something, too. But I really have no ideas! What do you want?
Re: Stocking stuffers
DH loves dark chocolate, so he will probably get some Lindt truffles. DD gift card is another option. This year I am getting him some kcups for work. Also planning to buy DH's favorite songs by Adele and burn tgem on a CD fir him (he seems to like half of each of her albums).
I might get myself a new mascara or lip gloss. CD for the truck. Slipper socks. York Peppermint Patties (my favorite).
Not quite sure what I'll do for my kids this year. Maybe a coloring book? My parents do stockings for all if us at their house, so it is hard to pick something unique.
Long time no see! Actually had a break to check over here tonight ;-)
We usually do treats and small toys/etc. Both my kids are getting slinkies, stickers, some chocolate treats, etc. DH and I have to pick something to put in ours here at home - my mom does the stockings at her house and that's where we are waking up Christmas morning. But we like to fill the kids' stockings here too to say "look, Santa stopped by our house too!" kind of thing.

I usually do toiletries in the stockings, too. I got my husband a bunch of that stuff and a few bags of candy (Rolos and Swedish Fish, his favorites). Some socks and underwear. I'll probably also get a DD giftcard.
I didn't really get April anything for the stocking. So I'm no help there.
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!

Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
I love doing stockings!
Liza is getting: piggy paint, coloring book, crayons, little farm animals, & maybe some little bags of goldfish and puffs. Oh and a mini pillow pet.
Last year she was 6 months and I did some pur?e pouches, stuffed animal, little people and egg shakers. & sippy cup.
Dh:: razors, candy, bike light, mt bike gloves, and I can't think of anything else. I need to finish shopping!
