The idea of this thread in Sept. is hurting my brain. Stocking stuffers are picked up during those last Target runs in December.

The only thing I know I'm getting for DS in his stocking is a mickey mouse calculator (he loves calculators).

But, I'm really excited about the stocking stuffers I have for my mother and my sister. When I was in China a few months ago I bought them both sets of pearl earings.

lip balm
candy bar/M&Ms
Schleich type animals/figures
toothbrush
playing cards
socks
play foam
microwave popcorn
pencils
small games like Set, Scrabble Slam, Sorry Revenge, Blink, etc.

Our stockings are not that big compared to many of the larger ones I see in stores these day (which is a good thing IMO), so a lot of the things I see mentioned for stockings would not fit in ours.

What we have for our 4 yo DS


-Toy Story 3 DVD (pre-ordered)
-Dolphin Ring Water Game – Just like my childhood one Dolphin Game
-Stepper Stilts – (I have to turn them upside down and the bottom lip of them sticks out of his stocking a bit. But, we have a long winter up here and I like any cheap toy that burns off some energy) Stepper Stilts
-Lego Toy Story Aliens Bagged set
-Dinosaur Egg that hatches in water
-I will definitely get a small amount candy

I picked up most of the stocking stuffers at a local Learning Express sale.

Other things I am considering:

-Automoblox Mini or Playmobil figure to poke out top of the stocking.
-A small set of basic Lego blocks to dump into the stocking as filler – My DS Lego collection is very small. He needs some basic bricks.
