Update: A reader asked about ideas for older kids. Please read Non-Candy Stocking Stuffers…for teens!
My kids’ stockings usually have a combination of candy and small items. I know many parents of kids with type 1 diabetes or food allergies prefer to include non-candy items in stockings, so I’m sharing some ideas of easy-to-find and not-very-expensive toys and trinkets.
Tip: Look near the Christmas/holiday aisle for displays of specially packaged items which are often the right size to stuff into stockings.
