Kids Stocking- Question

I have  question for you'll.  I have 1 girl and 2 boys.  I have no problem doing my daughters stocking but the boys are so hard to buy for.  I am not doing candy so that is out of the question.  One is 11 and one is 8.  Does anyone have any ideas.  I have gotten baseball cards, baseball playing cards for the oldest and the youngest I have gotten pokemon cards but can only afford one pack of them. 

Thanks for your help.

I have a 8 and 11 boy too :) Try hot whell cars and maybe something that you can find at the dollar store. Like a coloring book and something they have book in there

my stepson always loved hotwheels cars... and we always got 1 scratch off lotto ticket, it's fun no matter if you win or not. also, a little cologne just for them is fun too.. they like to smell good for their little girlfriends lol just have to teach them how much to put on. oh, mcdonald's gift cards are great too, they can pay for their own meal.. makes them feel special.

Hot wheels, playing cards, crafts stuff, school supplies, bouncy balls, small balls....it certainly gets more difficult the older they get.

dollar stor is a great place to check things out

Good ideas Sarah...My baby boy is 29, but he liked hot wheels and McD's too

The dollar tree has a wall of things that make perfect stocking stuffers for kids.
Jennifer W. Dec 4, 2008, 4:19pm EST
Great, thanks for all the ideas. I will go to the dollar tree tomorrow and look there.

I have been saving the stickers I am winning on MCC to put in stockings.

yes do match box cars I work at walgreens and next week we are having a 39 cent sale so go and check it out you can find lots of stuff

Go to th dollar stroe and get them those wash clothes they have to submerge in water to open up. Right now I see dinosuar ones for a buck. I picked up one for my son who is 10 yrs old. Get neat looking pencils..could be Christmas ones, erasers, other art supplies, hotwheels, little hand held games, a deck of playing cards, jacks or marbles, or even add oranges, nuts and apples.

Since I only had girls a boy would be hard for me too. All I can think of besides what was already said is cool character tooth brushes.
Brandy L. Dec 5, 2008, 9:04am EST
hot wheels, little monster trucks, gift card to McD's or somewhere, a movie, stuff for the bathtub, crayons, coloring books/activity books, their own wallet, comics, stickers, travel sized games, balls, and 2 words also DOLLAR STORE ;)

The dollar stores sounds like a great idea to look around in and if you have the $ for it maybe $5 and/or $10 gift cards to a toy store or Best Buy for a special stocking stuffer, especially for the 11 year old who I bet likes to choose his own stuff. I'll be interested to hear what you find!
Jodie B. Dec 5, 2008, 11:22am EST
The dollar store is always a great option!! I've done little soduku and other puzzle books, silly putty, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and gift cards in the past. I have to do my stocking shopping yet too.

smelly stuff is always good for girls - candy always a wise choice.

I don't have boys so I'm not much help. What about a tree ornament for them to collect each year? Or we always used to get the Lifesaver books but I know you said no candy. hmmm.... I'd check out the dollar store for ideas.
Paying it forward for 12/8/08
