What sort of things does your Santa fill up stockings with in your household? Is there a theme from year to year?

My children are 32 and 25 and every year Santa brings the same stuff: small puzzles, books, pez, and boring stuff like socks, underwear, and tooth brushes. But the items always looked forward to are a colouring book and crayons. Christmas morning just wouldn't be the same without them.

Since old enough to do so, the routine has been that while presents are off limits until everyone has had breakfast (always croissants and jam), everyone is allowed to peek into their stockings beforehand.

We don't do Christmas anymore but when we did - the stockings were my favourite part!!!

Things I used to get in my stocking - shampoo, chocolate, lottery tickets, magazines, jewelry, fancy pens and pencils (I'm obsessed with pens and pencils!), gift cards, etc...

And then larger gifts would be under the tree and we'd open those once everyone was up.

Stocking stuffers in my family are usually socks, gift cards, toothbrushes, pens, pencils, school supplies, lotions, purfumes, jewelry, and cash.
