So far for two year old DS I have the following:

DVD - "Songs from the Station"
Mini Colorwonder pack
Glitter ball
I Spy Book
Elmo stickers
Funtainer
yummy cinnamon honey graham pretzels from Yoder's (Grandma has to ship them)

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.

Doh!! Now I need (err... DS needs...) a dolphin game too! Did you get it off Amazon or at Learning Express?

I got the dolphin game, the stepper stilts and the dinosaur egg all at our local Learning Express. They had a sale with 20% off everything in the whole store. I had to have the dolphin game when I saw it, I hope DS likes it as much as I used to.

I've just started working on these.

I got a pair of Shoo Shoos warm booties for dd, who will be 9 months then. I'm planning on some hair accessories too (thanks to those who made that suggestion!). And maybe some new teethers. Also a winter hat, I think. That will be plenty for her!

For ds, age 7 years, so far I've got a card game. I'll do some gum. Maybe some new crayons. Some new socks. Will have to try to come up with something a bit cooler to finish his off.

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.

tell me more about the calculator please!

For my cousin's First Communion, I bought a Timex Indiglo with a Velcro strap, glow-in-the-dark hands & numbers and illuminated face.

I found it at Kohl's, but later saw similar watches at Target, and paid about $20.

He loved it so dearly, his parents had to pay him to take it off at night. As far as I know, he's still got it and he was 12 this past May.
