Holiday Gift Guide to Stocking Stuffers

Did the holiday season sneak up on anyone else? I feel like we were just hunting Easter Eggs out in the backyard and now my house is filled with all things cheery and Christmas! I have seen so many awesome holiday gift guides floating around and have bee lined to some of those websites to ensure I got those items before they sold out, so instead of a gift guide I thought I would share some great stocking stuffer ideas.

My kids are pretty young, so I like to think that I can still get away with giving them practical products...and that they will still be freaking excited about them. I mean, I totally love when my mom fills my stocking with body wash and make up--winning! I hope some of these ideas help you out and feel free to let me know your ideas as well, I love adding items to our must get list each year!

One of my favorite stocking stuffers for my kids are sunglasses. Chances are if your kids are like mine...their current sunnies are either lost or broken. Although we haven't tried them yet (but plan too!), Babiators prides themselves on being indestructible so these are the perfect go to sunglasses for littles! They have many different styles, colors, and price points for every personality and I am excited to try them.

Kleynimals has a few great stocking stuffers and we LOVE their flatware. They have stainless steel teething toys that are safe for babies and you can even have them engraved. They have jangles which are perfect for mom to wear and baby to play with and a few other fun items. If you are interested in engraving, be sure to place your order by December 16th to ensure Christmas delivery.

Teethers, sippy cups, bath toys, etc. are also all great ideas that your kids will love getting. Munchkin has a ton of different products that we love and what better time than Christmas to get them. Nothing like a little babe finding a brand new, cute teether in their stocking on Christmas morning, I bet they'd waste no time in going to town and chewing!

This is also the time that we upgrade toothbrushes and pacifiers, and my favorite brand for these is MAM. We have used their pacifiers for both kids (they are all I could get my first son to take) and they have the cutest patterns on them. I also use their toothbrushes for my youngest because they are perfectly shaped for little hands to hold which help in learning to independently brush his teeth.

We have been using the same three bowls and three plates for years and with 2 kids I am constantly washing and rewashing, so it is time to add to our collection. We love Re-Play Recycled because their products hold up, they don't break when dropped, and their colors are fun. They might end up sitting next to the stocking, but that's ok too.

Now these next ideas aren't brand specific but they will at least point you in a good direction. One tradition we have is buying ornaments each year for places that we visit or just things that we like so we have started doing the same for our kids. We will usually get one or two ornaments to put in their stockings that we will add to the tree the following year. For my oldest they are usually Disney or Pirates themed of course.

You can also throw in some favorite treats like fruit snacks or even their favorite candy that they don't get to enjoy very often. Maybe some markers or crayons with a little coloring book, or even a new book to read together at bedtime. You really can't go wrong with any of these options! What are some must have stocking stuffers in your house?
