Most people know, especially moms, how important Christmas stockings are in celebrating the holiday season. Putting together the perfect Christmas stocking for each family member involves picking the best toys and treats, decorating the stocking, and finding the perfect spot to hang it. So here are Four tips for moms everywhere to help them put together the perfect stockings for the family, as well as create lasting holiday memories.
1. Why not have your children help you in creating Christmas stockings? If your kids are still young, you'll be giving them a wonderful Christmas memory! There are two ways you and your children can make the Christmas stockings. One, you can make them from scratch -- you choose the appliques and other embellishments. Two, you can buy Christmas stocking kits that have all the supplies you need. Whichever option you go with, your kids are going to cherish the stockings. They'll serve as reminders of this year's holiday celebrations.
2. Fill the stockings with fun treats: foil-covered Santas and reindeer and even specially wrapped truffles. Give the stockings some flair by wrapping the treats in shiny Christmas paper.
Next step, picking the stocking stuffers to delight the recipient on Xmas morning!
3. You'll want to stuff the Christmas stockings with things that will keep your children (and the adults too!) busy all day. Playing cards are a perennial stocking stuffer. They're timeless and they provide countless hours of fun for the whole family. No child would be able to resist crayons, so stuff a box of crayons and a mini-coloring book or two in their Christmas stockings. Encourage creativity by stuffing some Play doh in the kids' stockings.
4. Whether you're got a toddler or a teenager, Beanie baby stuffed animals make great Christmas stocking stuffing. Who could resist those adorable things? If you have sons, they'd love you to bits if you stuff their stockings with miniature toy cars. There are hundreds of toy car models and styles available. Take your pick!
