Thanksgiving is almost over and the hint of Christmas to come is in the air. For most parents, this means hustling to get the things that are on every child’s Christmas list as the holiday looms. For parents, the time comes a bit more quickly than it does for the little ones in their lives. One of the things that parents seem to struggle with is coming up with great stocking stuffers to fill those stockings to overflow for the kids to find come Christmas morning. With that in mind, read on below for a few great stocking stuffer ideas that will have your kids clapping with glee on Christmas day.
Socks, Gloves, and Scarves
When the weather outside is frightful, as it often is during the winter months, these functional stocking stuffers will serve your children well. Put warm gloves, colorful scarves, and seamless socks in stockings so your kids can run and play in the snow after Christmas dinner is done.
Matchbox Cars
Matchbox cars are a timeless stocking stuffer that has made kids happy at Christmas for ages. Pick your little one’s favorite colors and favorite brands, then add them to the stocking. They will have a ball playing with the cars long after Christmas is done.
Hair Accessories
For the girls in your family, hair accessories will do the trick. Many little girls love to play dress up, so everything from barrettes to pullbacks for their hair is ideal. Don’t forget to get these hair accessories in their favorite colors, especially the ones that match their eyes.
iPhone Chargers
For the teens in your life, you can’t go wrong with iPhone chargers. There are also iPhone sticker sets that you can use to ensure they don’t lose that charger at the next sleepover they attend. Load them up with iPhone chargers and stickers for smiles all around Christmas morning.
Gift Cards
Some teens are just hard to buy for. While you may have a ton of stuff for them under the tree, you have to have something for the stocking as well. Place a few gift cards in the stocking along with the usual candy and take them shopping at those stores when Christmas is done. Problem solved, and they will thank you.
Crayons
Another timeless classic that never grows old for stocking stuffers is art supplies. Whether they are markers, crayons, or an entire art set, the artist in your life will love art supplies in their stocking. Add an easel wrapped and placed under the tree and your artist will be happy all year long.
These are just a few of the top stocking stuffers out there to give your kids this year. Don’t forget to put something special in the toe and your Christmas stocking stuffer shopping will be complete. Remember, kids don’t have to be hard to buy stuffers for, you just need some ideas of what to shop for.
