Fun Stocking Stuffers for Miss G

Growing up, we didn’t do stockings at Christmastime.  Don’t get me wrong – we always had more than enough of everything and my parents worked extremely hard to make the holidays beyond special for us.  Stockings just weren’t our jam.

Many years later {once I was already in university}, we started doing stockings on my Dad’s side of the family, and WOAH.  …Admittedly, our stockings were way over the top and probably contained more than an entire Christmas’ worth of things, but gosh were they ever fun!  All of the things you’d looked at but rarely bought for yourself {plus a few very generous gas cards courtesy of my darling Dad} in one Christmas stocking stuffed to the brim – as a university student, it was the very, very best.

Needless to say, I now see why people go bananas over stockings and I now put together a really fun stocking for Miss G each year.  In fact, it’s something I work on all year long!  I love taking my time finding little things I know she’ll thoroughly enjoy, and slowly collecting allows me to find really good deals on everything so that a great stocking doesn’t cost all that much {most of what I picked up this year was on sale or clearance}.  That being said, the only downside is that when you collect and squirrel away all year long, sometimes you pull it all out come Christmastime, and you realize that you have quite a lot more than you remembered buying – oopsies! {Though it’s not a big deal as it means that I’ve already got a solid start on a fun Easter basket full of goodies for a few months down the road.}
