2019 Baby + Kids’ Stocking Stuffers

Now that I’ve wrapped up my 2019 Holiday Gift Guides, let’s talk about stocking stuffers.

A few years ago, I decided to get very intentional with what I bought to put in my kids’ stockings. I didn’t want to fill them with items they would play with for a day or two and then be done with. So now I typically do a few things they need (e.g. socks, underwear, bath products), and then I choose a couple of toys, accessories, or art supplies that I think that they’ll love and use.

Then I throw in just enough candy to make them happy (or puffs for babies)!
