Stocking stuffers are always tricky for me. Last year, I got caught up in the heat of the moment at the store and overbought. Not only that, I came home with things that I normally wouldn’t have purchased- things that weren’t exactly useful for our family. I bought “just to buy” because I wanted to make sure I had enough to fill Malone’s stocking. When I got home and saw all that I had, I vowed to be more thoughtful next year and started a list.

In Malone’s stocking this year there will be mostly arts and craft supplies. We use them almost everyday. He’s also getting a pair of socks, a new toothbrush, and some chapstick of his own. He loves Captain America, so I’m on the hunt for Captain America Pez dispenser. The only toy item that will be in there is a Cat Calico Critters set. We always include a Christmas Orange and a new ornament for the tree. Don’t be afraid to open up the packaging of items to fill your stockings.

My total budget for Malone’s stocking is $50.00. It is quite large this year, but I was able to get his main gifts at a consignment sale earlier this fall at a greatly reduced price. Shopping second hand allowed me to buy more for less and gave me more money left over in my budget than anticipated.
