I have had a very productive, Christmas fuelled morning! I’ve been collecting the girls stocking and Christmas Eve box fillers and Elf on the Shelf bits for the past couple of months now and I’ve been stashing them into market bags and hiding them in the garage. With the December 1st looming, I decided to get it all out to see what’s what. To say that I’ve gone a tad overboard is a little bit of an understatement.
I suppose that’s the problem with Christmas shopping early, it’s so easy to collect bits as you go along and lose track. A few people have asked me what I’m including in the girls Christmas stockings so I thought, I’d write a blog and give you a sneak peek. I’m going to break the list down and include where I have brought the items from.
Flo’s Stocking Fillers
Amazon
I brought the girls a whoopee cushion & sticky fake poo as I know how much fun they will have pranking their Nanny & Grandad on Christmas Day. I’m including a Frozen purse as I thought it would be nice for our trip to Orlando in January. As you all know the girls love a blind bag, so I got them a Baby Born Surprise Series 2.
The girls are both really enjoying colouring at the mo, so I got Flo her very own colouring book. Flo just wants to copy her big Sister, so I got her a necklace and bracelet set, to stop her constantly stealing Bella’s. I also got a pack of four Baker Ross Snail Pull Back Racers. I brought all of these bits on Amazon.
Boots
The girls love bath time so they are going to have a blast with this Crazy Soap Foaming Soap from Boots. I’m going to have to make sure the girls raid their stockings whilst supervised otherwise it could turn into a rather messy morning.
Kids Stuff Toys
Bella has been telling me that she wants a Squishmallows for ages, so I’ve included one in each of their stockings. Flo adores dogs so I also got them both a Little Live Pets Dog. It’s really soft and squidgy and it makes over 15 sounds. You can feed it too. I got these from Kids Stuff Toys in Tunbridge Wells.
Poundland
Poundland always have a great selection of stocking fillers. Flo is a massive fan of Baby Shark so I got her a Baby Shark Bath Sponge, bath crayons and some mini dinosaurs. Bella has the same in her stocking.
Le Jeux Boutique
I recently wrote a blog about Le Jeux Boutique‘s top ten stocking fillers and of course I had to include them in the girls stockings. I absolutely love these Little Blue House Christmas Socks, they are so soft. Flo is going to love the Keycraft wind up Christmas toy and the Living Nature Curled Reindeer is super soft. The Waboba Water Ball is great for the bath and swimming pool as it actually bounces on water. Check out https://www.lejeuxboutique.com
Lanka Kade
These beautiful wooden Christmas figures are from Lanka Kade. They have been painted with non toxic paint and they are brilliant for encouraging imaginative play. There are lots of lovely wooden toys to choose from, check out https://www.lankakade.co.uk
Aldi
I got both of the girls a Smooshy Mushy from Aldi. It’s another blind bag type toy that has a squishy figure hidden inside.
Asda
Who doesn’t like a cosy pair of socks. These Unicorn socks from George, Asda are really warm and they have grippy spots on the sole so they will be great for when the girls are chasing each other around the house. No stocking would be complete without a treat and both of the girls are obsessed with Milkybar chocolate buttons.
Mini-U for Kids
Bella’s Stocking Fillers
To avoid any early Christmas morning scraps, I‘ve made sure that the girls have a lot of the same stocking fillers. They are both interested in the same things so it’s been really easy to duplicate this year. They have a couple of different bits and bobs, so here is a break down of what is included in Bella’s stocking.
Boots
I also got Bella some Crazy Soap Foaming Soap from Boots and I also got her a Rubble Super Pup from Paw Patrol and a Sleepy Dibillo teddy from Moon and Me. Bella is obsessed with cuddly toys and she loves Moon and Me, so she’s going to be very excited when she sees it.
Amazon
Bella has a lot of the same stocking fillers as Flo from Amazon, except for her Unicorn Colouring Book and a Sparkle Jewellery making kit by Galt. Since turning four, Bella really has started to show her creative side, so I know she is going to have heaps of fun making jewellery for herself and friends.
Claire’s
Bella is going through a Unicorn phase at the moment so I just had to get her this Unicorn Bath Bomb from Claire’s.
Asda
Bella still loves Dinosaurs so I got her some warm & cosy Dino Socks from Asda and a super stretchy Spider-Man and Milkybar Chocolate Buttons.
Lanka Kade
Bella also has a couple of these beautiful Lanka Kade Christmas toys in her stocking. They are so well made and they will last for years. Bella loves imaginative play so I know she will have endless fun with these.
I hope I have helped to provide some inspiration. I’m going to share the girls Christmas Eve boxes soon. I’m also going to write a weekly Elf on The Shelf blog and I’ll be sharing daily behind the scenes videos on my Instagram account @mamadoitblog https://www.instagram.com/mamadoitblog/ give me a follow for even more tips and discount codes.
