I started buying stuff for the kids stockings. So far they have:
coloring books
crayons
nightlights
dvds
the older ones are getting a few gift cards with small values (like $5 mcdonalds, $10 for a favorite store)
I am thinking about getting disney dollars for the little ones
socks for the girls
lip gloss kits for the girls
the older boys (15,15 and 12) are getting AXE body wash kits that have the shower gel and spray
the little ones are getting the fake shaving kits
gloves
winter hat
candy

ishop2much - Where do you get Disney Dollars? We are going to Disneyland in June and I would love to get some for my son for Christmas. I have looked all over and can't figure out where they are sold, besides the parks.

Thanks!!

McDonald gift certificates..... wendys , I do them all.......... now the kids are 16,17,19.20 they don't get stockings......way to expensive!......... this is going to be a hard Christmas. Heck they might get, wiper blades, and car stuff for Christmas, I'm tired of buying that stuff.....lol
Money is out of the question, they go threw that like water...... gift cards to stores might be the way to go.

Since our kids are older (23 now!), we put in lots of stuff for their cars.

We go to our credit union and we can buy movie tickets for a discount (they're good for like 6 mths/year)
$5 gift cards to fast food.
Small sizes of deodorant and body spray (to keep in their cars). A lot of times they go directly from work to someplace else.
Coupon for free car wash at local car wash.
Gum, mints.
Golf tees.

Instead of a reg toothbrush I got Toothtunes for the 10 yr old. They come in all kinds of themes and songs and a little less boring. Pretty much the same as above depending on the ages

I have daughters, and they always think that their stocking cost a fortune. I always stock up on makeup, like eyeshadows, lip glosses, mascara, when places like CVS or Walgreens has it buy one, get one free. Usually I even use coupons with it, so it comes out super cheap. Also today at CVS I got them both bottles of the Garnier face cleanser (had $4 coupons attached to it, price only 5.99). Little purse size bottles of lotion and hand sanitizer (Bath& Body Works) also go over well. Last year I put fake Lottery tickets in them, which I won't do again, they flipped! Also good writing pens, little notepads, stationary.

Staples is the proud sponsor of all Christmas stockings filled by me Between their free after rebate pens, mechanical pencils, markers, sharpies, highlighters, penny items from back to school sales and that post it rebate deal from last month I have more office supply "stuff" than my real job *lol*

Makeup from rolling ecbs at CVS and rebating at WB and Rite Aid always goes over well too.

Candy canes!

Razors...also courtesy of CVS, WG, RA, etc.

What do you guys think of stuffing diabetes monitors into stockings? (LOL I'm kidding!)

I have 3 boys 7, 9 and 11 plus dh 34. All of them get beef jerky, candy, boxer briefs,mechanical pencils, cool pens, sharpeners and then I put a few other small gifts geared towards the likes of the individual. DS 1 and DS 3 both like GI joe so they will get those in their stocking. DS #2 likes music so he will get a new cd. Im not sure what else yet

I use to work at the Disney Store and they had them there, you just have to ask the cashier.

I hope you have a great trip

Also I do a ribbon that leads from their bedroom door to their stocking - candy tied to it every couple of feet
