I am actually nearly finished Christmas shopping for this year. Since I have 4 kids I like to try and get a head start as early as possible. That way I can avoid the ridiculous crowds that are out last minute. Sometimes I try to incorporate educational gifts, especially if they’re fun!
13 Educational Stocking Stuffer Ideas
One of my favorite things about Christmas is hanging the stockings! There’s just something about them that brings the rest of the decorations together. Stockings are also fun because you can just grab everythint out and not have to worry about unwrapping anything (or wrapping anything!) Stockings are usually the first things that our kids go for on Christmas morning. By them time my husband and I wake they are usually empty. Do you hang stockings at Christmastime? What kind of gifts go in them?
