@family.of.6.vs.35: WHEN did Christmas stockings become just as expensive as the actual presents?! 😭🎄💸 I have FOUR kids, ages 3 to almost 13, and apparently stocking stuffers need their own separate Christmas budget now. 😂 Bubbles and crayons for my 3-year-old? EASY. Perfume and Pokémon cards for my older kids?! EXCUSE ME?! 😭😂 We’re trying to pay off $355,000 in debt in 365 days, and I’m NOT giving up Christmas! But I am trying to be smarter about what we’re spending. Because $25 per stocking × 4 kids = $100… and somehow the stockings STILL aren’t full! 💀 So HELP A MAMA OUT!! What are your favorite inexpensive stocking stuffers for older kids and preteens?! 🎁👇 #ChristmasOnABudget #StockingStuffers #BudgetChristmas #DebtPayoffChallenge #FamilyOf6

I probably spend about $40 on each of my children’s stocking stuffers. However my oldest is about to be 12 and I find even the most basic things for hers are getting so pricey!

I’m 22 and idec if all I get in my stocking is candy… actually anything I get I’m grateful for because my mom really doesn’t even need to buy me stuff anymore but she does

I remember buying my kids their own scotch tape and dispensers. They loved that. Tape things to their hearts desire.

For the teen, how about: deodorant, hair brush/comb, pens/pencils, $5 gift card for Tim Hortons or DQ, Gatorade, candy/gum, lip balm/gloss, hair elastics, socks, hair gel/hair spray, playing cards, any sports items (hockey ball, puck, skate laces), coloured pencils, small note pad, travel size body spray or hand cream, books from book outlet.ca, word search or puzzle books, stickers…I think that’s all I can think of at the moment. I picked up some books for teens and tweens under $5 from book outlet.ca this year. Also they have books for your little one…

Stocking stuffers are there own budgeted item at our house. I don’t like to buy junk so I spend more and get practical things they’ll use

Do things you would be buying anyway like underwear but do stylish ones not the cheap ones, skincare items, maybe a lip gloss, video game points card like Xbox, maybe something collectable that you can continue get as they get older like an ornament

Our stockings were always practical gifts like underwear, new toothbrush, body wash shampoo and my mom continued it up until we were adults and it was always our favorite!

13 year old girl - look closely at dollar type stores .. brand name mid range skin care - makeup- accessories I find often like a crème headband wrist cuffs to wash face $4, crème 3 pack face masks $4 ect. Elf things can be found like brushes, winners/marshals - hand cream- lipgloss sets … break up for more wow factor. Also discount stores for cute socks, unusual snacks, stationery or Drinkware. Look for multi pack items that work for both older kids like : lip balm, flavoured flossers ( I found jolly rancher ones), bath bombs ect. Buy sweets or food items you would not normally allow … in my house an energy drink, a 3 or 4$ protein bar, the expensive gum, Nutella mini’s ect. Try and remember to check end caps, bottom shelves and the back of the store for discount items. Small toys like the mini Lego sets, diy sets or books can usually be found for under $5. Good luck! - stockings are my favourite! All my kids are 19+ now .. trust me it only get more expensive lol

stockings were always the needs and the gifts were the wants in my house! we'd get socks, underwear, deodorant, perfume/cologne, new tooth brushes, the things you don't think you need at that age! plus fun things like bubbles and colouring stuff, brain puzzles or a card game that are just small. if you want to tailor it to physically small items they've asked for, that's where to pop the makeup or video games or whatever and they just have less gifts to open

I am amazed at suggestions on tiktok for stocking stuffers. What do you mean $25 for 1 item? The stockings are "stuffed". I can't spend $200 on each stocking when I have 11 of them! Plus their regular gifts and the meal.

Stockings get expensive for us but we buy all stuff we need anyway so it ends up saving us money in the January/February budget. Body wash/soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, tooth brush, tooth paste, socks, underwear. Then we ad a few fun things like chocolate and candy, activity books, whatever we like.

I refuse to put cheap things in a stocking because I feel quality over quantity is a better value. you can find quality things on sale like one of those multi tools guys like to carry around. thats a good stocking stuffer
