15 Budget Toddler Girls Stocking Stuffers

December 13, 2014 by

Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on toddler girls stocking stuffers.  I like stocking stuffer items for my granddaughter that are fun and safe. I had a blast searching for items, and I thought I would share my stocking stuffer ideas with you.  As you know I’m a bargain shopper and a big fan of the Dollar Stores. With the money that’s spent on other items, I don’t want to spend a fortune on stocking stuffers. I will say finding items for little girls is so much easy than boys it seems.

  1. Little Golden Books
  2. Character drinking cups
  3. Flavored lip balm
  4. Disney movies
  5. Fluffy socks (for those barefoot days at home)
  6. Hair accessories or hat and gloves
  7. Coloring books and crayons  – Doc McStuffin, Minnie Mouse, Disney Princesses etc.
  8. My Pretty Pony
  9. Blanket for week-end naps
  10. Stickers
  11. Monster High Dolls
  12. Nail polish (for those mommy and me days)
  13. Shopkins

  15. Character eating utensils
Head out to your favorite Dollar Store and get to work on your list.  I stuffed my granddaughter’s stocking with quite a few of these items and stayed within my budget.  I found a great selection of Shopkins options at Five and Below.  My granddaughter loves anything Shopkins.  They have lip balm, nail polish, bubble bath, doll accessories and more.  Additionally, you can find items for the Finding Dory fans.
The Dollar Tree has a great selection of Disney and Sesame Street coloring books, crayons and board books.  You can also find the fluffy, warm socks there too.  My granddaughter hates socks, but on those cold, winter days we insist that she have something on her feet.  I love the warm fluffy socks too.  Because I have hardwood floors, I purchase a few pairs for myself.  I put a pair on when I ask her to wear them when she’s visiting.
My granddaughter loves headbands and flowers for her hair.  I can always find a bargain at Dollar General or Family Dollar.
Don’t forget Target’s bargain bins.  They have great stocking stuffers for toddler girls too.  Do you have ideas to add to my list? Please leave me a comment.  You may also like:  Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Toddler Boys.

13 Stocking Stuffers for Toddler Boys

December 11, 2014 by

Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on stocking stuffers for toddler boys.  Are you in the holiday spirit, and looking for stocking stuffer ideas for toddler boys?  Look no further, I have a list of ideas for you that I used for years with my grandson.  They were a hit!  I love the holidays. It’s the time of year when I put my creative juices on full throttle.  I always set a budget for myself, and I strive hard to stay within it. I came up with a few ideas for stocking stuffers for my grandson when he was a toddler and I thought I would share them.

 

 

Stocking Stuffers for Toddler Boys:

 

  • Hot Wheels Cars
  • Plastic dinosaurs, army men, zoo animals etc. (Anything that can be used in a fight)
  • Movies
  • Books
  • Hat and gloves
  • Coloring books  and crayons
  • Lightning McQueen/Cars
  • Character drinking cups
  • T-shirt with their favorite character
  • Spinners
  • Favorite character eating utensils and plate
  • Dinosaur items
  • Colorful Bendy Soft Pencils
  • Action Figures
  • Tattoos
  • Slime

 

I was able to stuff his stocking with several of the items from this list. Before you head out make a list of your toddler’s favorites or a list of items that they need. This will cut down on your browsing time and help you work within your budget.  You can shop for most items at your local Dollar Stores.  The Dollar Tree has a great selection of Hot Wheels, dinosaur, army men and more.  You can also find coloring books and crayons, board books and more.

So, Wal-Mart and Big Lots have a great selection of Hot Wheels, Lighting McQueen and the other cars as well as plastic figures.  Five and Below has adorable hat and glove sets. Make sure the items you select are age appropriate and don’t have small parts that can come off and become a hazard.

Last, don’t forget, little boys like bath toys too.  My grandson loved playing with his army men and dinosaurs in the bathtub.  He also like bath crayons and his hot wheels in the tub.

Finally, we would love to hear any ideas you came up with for your stockings. Please leave us a comment.  You may also like Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Toddler Girls.

20 Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Teen Girls

December 19, 2013 by

Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on stocking stuffer ideas for teen girls.  We know that teenage girls can be difficult to purchase for and are usually the last and most difficult to purchase for many. Shopping for my daughter and teenage nieces was a mixed experience.  Figuring out what to buy was difficult, but once I went into the stores to start shopping for them it was fun.

I’ve eliminated the what to get for you.  I’ve put together a list of what has worked for me.  So, if you’re strapped for time, pick a few items from the list before you head out.  This will keep you from wondering around the store and reduce your shopping time.

One thing that I learned is most teenage girls are into makeup, fashion, movies, music, boys, and good food.  Think about that.  What makeup are you comfortable allowing your daughter to wear, lip gloss, nail polish, lipstick, eyeshadow?  Gift certificates are always a win.  

Google the top artist for teens, and listen to a sample of their songs.  Better yet, have your teen give give you a wish list.  Personally, I never asked for a wish list I ventured out on my own and must say I got lucky with my purchases.
