I think I'm going to focus on art supplies. I'm trying to pick up cool stuff here and there - more fun than the old standards.

wonder if Kinder will have Christmas eggs? I know our kids LOVE LOVE those at Easter time!
we always get fun socks, a paperback, and a yummy chocolate treat. a small puzzle if I can find one. DD gets art supplies and activity book.
Forgot: also always get lip balm or gloss.

Last year I got the "hot chocolate on a stick" from Etsy that someone mentioned here.
I usually do at least one book. A small Lego set. Chocolate coins. A video game or Leappad game.
What about a fizzy or scented bath bomb?
honestly candy is a BIG hit (rare here)

Last year the biggest hit was whoopie cushions.

we put whoopie cushions in last year and it was HUGE hit too!! all our gift cards will go into their stockings this year (iTunes, playstation points, xbox points), lego miniatures bag, gum (which i never buy them) and suckers, some sort of stuffed animal, tooth brush, chap stick, rolled up pair of pj pants, maybe a nintendo ds game

We do rolls of scotch tape because the girls always tear through it so quickly that we (the adults) can never find it when we need it. So this way, they have their very own roll to do what they want. The other thing we have given them in the past is boxes of "character" band-aids for basically the same reason. They can go to town covering every nick and bruise and we can still find bandages when it really does matter.
I also do clementines or oranges because it was something that was always in my stocking as a kid that I just did not understand until I was an adult. My mom got them also, so I figure it is a great tradition even if an orange just isn't a special once a year treat anymore.
