Stockings have been a tradition in my family since i was a kid. It's something we love doing with our boys! I'm always looking for ways to keep it personal, fun and financially feasible! Here are some things that our boys will be getting this year and how much they cost.
Since we live overseas and toys are ridiculously expensive in Europe, my go to place for fun little things is aliexpress.com. These are the prices i paid, but they may have changed since i ordered them.
2. lego chicken man - we just got backyard chickens and our boys love lego! i got 3 different fun lego men for our 3 oldest. $0.80 (aliexpress)
3. squeezable chicken - i just thought these were too silly & fun! $0.74 (aliexpress)
4. crayola crayons - our crayon supply is running low and these were a good price! $1.69 (amazon.co.uk)
5. sea monkeys - our boys have never seen these, but they are a fond memory from my childhood! our boys are 4, 5 & 7 and super curious about the world. i think they'll love them! $1.89 (aliexpress)
6. fall hat and scarf - our older 3 have these sets and they work great for fall & spring. so our little guy is getting this set! $2.87 (aliexpress)
7. paper planes book - i wanted some fun activity books that would keep the boys busy and found this! since we have all boys, they can share and have 3x the fun. $5.00 (amazon.co.uk)
8. chatbooks - i love photography and we print out yearly albums using Blurb.com but the boys aren't allowed to look at those without an adult. last year i ordered them chatbooks, mostly of instagram photos and they LOVED them! they end up being the most expensive part of the stocking but it is something personal and fun for each of them. $15.00 (with shipping to europe)
* for our youngest i ordered from ZNO, as they had a free 6x6 book (just $8 for shipping) and AMAZING quality! their pages are thick (think board book) and i'm hoping it will last longer with the little guy (he's 16 months and LOVES books!) i'm looking forward to seeing it and may order all our kids books there next year!
