Christmas stockings, filled with specially selected stocking stuffers, are a time-honored tradition for many households, adding an extra layer of festive delight to Christmas morning. Even though I and my siblings are now grown, my mom still puts up our childhood stockings, mine with my name spelled out in glittery red letters written in my mom’s handwriting.
As a parent myself now, filling stockings for my own kids is a more intricate endeavor than I ever considered when I was simply a recipient. Coming up with creative ideas that are affordable, personalized and fit within a stocking is no small task because we want our stocking stuffers to convey a sense of intimacy and attention to detail that amplifies the holiday spirit. I have found that the best way to find those unique treasures to fill those Christmas stockings is to peruse the shelves of local shops!
