Creative Stocking Stuffers

I love stockings! One of my favorite Christmas memories was arriving at my grandma’s house and digging into my grandpa’s old sock that she had stuffed with nuts, candy, and oranges. The consistency and delight of that small gift in a childhood that wasn’t characterized by abundance inspired me to create delightful stockings for my own children.


Here is a list of items we think will delight your children this Christmas season. Best of all, they are Amazon Prime so you can get them in time for the holiday.
