Inexpensive Stocking Stuffers

Christmas is here and it's time to go shopping. If you're looking for inexpensive stocking stuffers, I've got a couple ideas...

  • If you have an iPhone or iPad, tell your child that they can pick an app that they want. Cost $2-$3. 
  • I'm not a connoisseur, but the best play dough comes from Dollar Tree.Cost $1 (of course) 
  • The front section at Target has a bunch of cute stuff for a dollar. They carry hats, gloves, pencil sets, slinkys, etc. 
  • Stock up on their favorite snacks. I got a small box of Pepperidge farm goldfish and an 8-pack of Reese's cups for $1 each. 
  • An 8-pack of crayons is less than a dollar and oh so fun. I would take them out of the box and bound them with ribbon or raffia to make them look more special. It's all about the packaging.
  • If you're giving crayons, then you have to give a notepad to draw in. Those two items go together like peanut butter and jelly.
  • A box of snaps is great for boys. They're the little things that you throw on the ground and they make a popping sound. Each box contains 50 snaps and loads of fun. Cost $1
