What is your favorite thing to find in your stocking?

Well I know it's after the fact and all but I guess my favorite thing in my stocking is some kind of bath products or candles. My dad makes ours LOL. And he puts things like that in there, small picture frames, lighters from my hubby, car washing things, lip gloss, pocket calendars (actually that is my favorite I had forgotten about it until I started naming LOL)... We put in my dads cheap - but good DVD's, golf tees, and some of the other little things he adds into ours (toothbrushes, blistex, ect). Lotto tickets is a good idea! I hadn't thought of that. My maternal Grandmother gives her kids lottery tickets every year for Christmas with their birthdays as the numbers. But I hadn't thought of sticking them in the stockings...I'll have to try and remember that one!

I'm only doing stockings for my husband, my toddler, my pets (and me, because my husband doesn't want to do it! lol). For my husband, I'm doing a little bit of candy, a tape measure, a new level, and a couple of small tools. For my son, I'm doing a few small toys, 3 pieces of candy,and a new toothbrush. I haven't even decided what will go in mine yet! lol It's harder to do it for me, but my husband says I need to, so Elliott doesn't think I was bad. :) The pets get treats in theirs. The cat gets a couple of toys, but the dogs don't like them.

This might sound odd, but being a girl who LOVES taking long baths, I love to get bath soaps and bath fizzies in my stocking! Most every year I'll get those bath balls that fizz when you drop them into your bath and I LOVE them. There are lots of shops that sell them for not much money :) I also like to get movie passes! :p My mother in law always buys us all a couple free movie passes and we go to the movies at our cinema for free! :)

I like recieving the scented votive candles,bath beads&scrubbies,little kitchen gadgets. My daughter loves to recieve hair scrunchies and ponies,nail polish,eyeshadow,etc. For my husband he likes tackle, small tools, collector cards.I like surfering the Dollars stores for alot of stocking stuffers, they have good buys there.
