We have gobs of money too and are doing the same thing. Enoch and I are just doing stockings but I have already figured you can spend a lot. Enoch really wants a new watch so he is getting that in his stocking. I bought toblerone bars for $1 and he is already getting a movie and will put a gift card to a yogurt place as well. I always throw in contact solution, shaving cream, toiletry stuff. I could really blow my whole Christmas budget just of stocking stuff including stuff for the kids. My favorite part of Christmas morning is the stockings. We individually wrap every item in the stocking with special Santa paper. I love watching my kids unwrap even the lip gloss. It is fun because sometimes you get 20 little presents to unwrap. We do not wrap the nuts or small candy though :)

pomegranate instead of an orange, it's healthy and the kids love eating them!

The hubby insists on socks and small loose candies like little Hershey's kisses in the stockings each year (his included!).

I agree that a mandarin orange (cutie) is a must, along with good chocolate (dark, for me). Also I have always loved jewelry in my stocking and do that for my kids.

Now that my siblings and I are grown each adult and in-law bring one stocking item for each stocking. It has been an awesome tradition and I especially love seeing what the men come up with. It turns out almost white-elephantish as we hoot and holler over the gifts on Christmas morning and try and guess who gave them.

I think stockings are the best too. In fact, I'm shipping ours to St. Louis so we can have them on Christmas morning even though we're far away. That is a perfect list.

I don't know why but we always had an orange in our stocking! So I carry that tradition on with my kids. :0)
