Gift Guide // Non-Toy Stocking Stuffers for Kids

Non-Toy Stocking Stuffers for KidsDo your kids love their stockings as much as mine do?  They open them last and it’s like icing on a Christmas morning cake!  Problem is, I’m not into a lot of stuff especially stuff they’ll likely forget once Christmas is over.  For that reason, I make it a small mission to find usable, consumable or experiences to fill their stockings.  I’d rather spend a bit more, but have the items be more useful and less clutter.  I’ve rounded up some variations that I tend to work with when thinking about their stocking and not one of them includes a toy or trinket.  Add a sweet treat on top and we are all thrilled with the results.
