A sock full of goodies?! Stockings were by far my favorite part of Christmas as a kid, and as an adult I might go a little overboard for my own. Just like my mom, I mean Santa, did, we ditch the stocking all together and just stuff a bag full of all these fun trinkets. The trick is getting useful things at a good price. I’m always checking holiday after season sales at Target, or clearance deals at places like Claire’s, Justice or Kohl’s, and stocking up on some favorites. Don’t forget about some practical items, too. One year my mom gifted each of us four girls a HUGE present… only for us to open it and find things like paper towel and Sam’s club sized laundry detergent. I won’t go that far… hah!
