The Best Stocking Stuffers for Big Kids
Whiskware Snack Stackers
We are all about the snack cup over here. I have found that it gives my kids some great independence when it comes to prepping for school and having a say in what they are eating. And with so many design options, Whiskware has something for everyone!
Yeti Stainless Steel Water Bottle
I remember when I was in elementary school, if I wanted water I had to go to the drinking fountain. Gone are those days! Now, every kid has a water bottle with them at all times. I love the focus on hydration, but not all water bottles are created equal. We have had our fair share of leaky, sweaty water bottles. That is why I am a huuuuuge Yeti fan. I have a big one for myself and these 18oz. bottles for the kids. I can fill them with ice and water at night, and they hold that ice the entire next school day! Definitely worth a buy this year.
Fun Pens
Do you have a little artist or a kiddo who appreciates a color-coded planner (kid after my own heart!). A great set of pens is the perfect gift!
Small Notebook
My littles are always doodling on papers scattered around the house. We have found that having a dedicated notebook for each of them has helped to keep their artwork in one place and sometimes, they even go back to finish past work! These are our absolute favorite for sketching, coloring, writing, and all the things!
Click Markers
Is there anything more satisfying than the click of a pen? Probably, but I definitely love a good click pen! So, an upgrade to click markers just brings coloring to a whole new level! Your kiddos will be all over their artwork with these. And, bonus, no lost caps!
Lego
We are a bit obsessed with Legos over here. With 4 boys, we get Lego sets for every holiday and birthday! But the great thing about Lego is that there is always a new and exciting set to get. Here is a cute one that would make a great stocking stuffer for kids of all ages!
Mini Game
Looking to keep those little hands busy without adding technology to the mix? I hear you! This fabulous game is great to bring on car rides, in restaurants, to appointments, or simply to enjoy at home. My boys love that it comes in a little case, and I love that the pieces stay contained!
Hair Ties
Do you have a little with flowing locks? Then hair ties are a must! I can’t speak from experience with my kids (all of my boys have short hair), but I always have a hair tie on my wrist for my long hair. These are perfect to stick in backpacks, sports bags, purses, first aid kits, in the car, and wherever else those locks could use containing. You never know when you are going to need one!
Nail Polish
Is your little princess all about the hair and nails and make up? I don’t blame her! I loved receiving make up and other products in my stocking. This is a great nail polish brand that mom could use too! Throw a few fun colors in each stocking and make it a girl’s night. Do your nails together!
Hot Wheels
Who doesn’t love Hot Wheels? They roll, they fit on most tracks, they have amazing designs (have you seen the toilet truck?!), and they are pretty affordable. Grab this giant pack and divide the cars between all of the stockings for instant fun after presents!
There are so many gifts to choose from, but I hope that you find a few that are perfect for your stockings this year.
