Slurpee? We love Slurpees from 7-Eleven. I stopped in there the other day and they sell little tins to hold gift cards. The tin is adorable, the shape of a slurpee and I got a dollar off my slurpee for buying it. I then bought a slurpee gift card for 5 bucks. Just something small and unexpected for the stocking.

I have a 7 and a 5 yo boy. I got some miniature size tinker toys and lincoln logs at bed bath and beyond, and some star wars pens and note pads in the target dollar section.

I shocked she didn't say condoms.

Why did I know you would make me sorry I said that?

Make mine another vote for gift cards. Or crisp new currency. Ones, fives, whatever's in the budget.

What about some Hot Wheels cars or Beyblades?And the target $1 section is great. Got my 7 year old a mini slinkie from that. A book, a dvd maybe? The kids do love the silly bandz. A little flashlight? A snack cake or a pkg of mini oreos/chips ahoy instead of the candy.

Hit the dollar store. We came out of there today with bags of fun stuff for the kiddos stockings. Shoot, I think we have enough for 3 stockings per kid.

I agree. I typically put just a couple of boring but likable stuff in there. cutesy socks I typically wouldnt buy. battery operated toothbrush with whatever favorite character. bandaids with favorite character. I dont usually spend the extra money on that stuff except for a few stocking stuffers.
