The little stuffed animals you clip to your backpack, card games, mini-notebooks and "fancy" pens (her words), Lego minifigs, bath bombs, one of those mini microscopes, chocolate, temporary tattoos, fidget toys, and squishies.

Tweens and teen boys:
silly magic tricks or gags
brain teaser puzzles
fancy hot cocoa that they go make right away (some years in a new fun mug)
ridiculous socks

Younger years:
bubbles
soft snowballs for throwing in the house
noisemakers (advil for Dad)
crazy glasses that make the tree lights look like snowflakes, etc)
marbles or cool geology rocks
magnets
fun office supplies (one of mine was obsessed, not joking)
matchbox cars
nerf pellets

Those little plastic tubs of miniature cookies (Oreos, Chips Ahoy, etc.) that they sell by the checkout lane at the grocery store.

what age? I have an almost 4 year old and have done a schleich animal or 2 every year (a polar bear family at almost 2, a giraffe family at almost 3, this year a family of wolves and a family of brown bears).

This year I'm also adding a box of grinch bandaids, some sock slippers, frozen itty bittys (hallmark, lots of choices), and a stuffed dog that will peek out the top (I've done a stuffed animal out of the top every year so far).

I once did little mini plastic tubs of Pringles, and it was a hit.

One year I tried to get creative and the kids were all wondering why they didn't get a chap stick, toothbrush, bath and grooming products, etc. Now I just stick to the basics. Santa is a creature of habit.

My mom always gave us chocolate gelt. In our Christmas stocking… We didn’t understand that it was a bit off. But they were so yummy and pretty. Also tangerines.

Haha... I put them in stockings too. I guess I never really thought about it. I grew up in Nj with lots of Jewish kids at school. And lots of mixed families. I also associate blue with Christmas... but I just found out this year that blue is considered the holiday color for Jewish families, and I should stick to red and green.

My parents gave us tons of presents but nothing in our stockings (just regular presents that were small) so I find this stocking thing strange and fun!

My kids are obsessed with emoji Disney chapsticks, play dough and new paints
