🎄STOCKING STUFFER HACKS THAT SAVE $! | Kids Stocking Stuffer Ideas 2020 last-minute Christmas gifts

[@maddiesteinbock2370]

This is the best stocking video I’ve seen!❤️ so so cute and perfect

[@NatalieBennett]

Awww thank you!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much I did making it for you all! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Joybug_51]

Over the years, my daughters' stockings had become more expensive, so we sat down to see how to save money without disappointing them. We also use lots of snacks and goodies as a base and try to accessorize other gifts. My husband and I wrapped each item in a note we had written...some were memories and praise for accomplishments. One usually had the year along with their heights and weights or a list of their best friends. The girls would save the notes in their stockings to be re-read the following year when stockings were being hung. Now that our grandsons are 5 and 6, they will receive notes this year for the first time.2020 seems a good year to renew an old tradition. Happy Holidays to your family from mine ❤

[@jurylee1]

You do exactly like I do my 5 grandchildren’s stockings. I also put in the small packages of Rice Krispies treats. I loved this video #sneakygiveaway

[@kaitlynvanderhoff6265]

I've always loved getting a fun pair of socks in my stuffing or a new ornament! A friend of mine recently shared that every year her parents bought her and her siblings a new ornament. When they moved out of their parents home, they were gifted their collection of ornaments for their first tree. I thought this was so sweet and sentimental. #premieregang

[@mbmama8327]

This is what we are doing with our kids too. And for the ornament I typically buy one to reflect their interest that year.. so the tree sort of “grows up” with them

[@kaitlynvanderhoff6265]

@@mbmama8327 I love this! I have no kids yet, but plan to do this one day. Very cool!

[@mrslhaldane306]

I have done that with my 3

[@livancarr5321]

I missed seeing you this week but glad you were able to take off this week and enjoy your family for the Christmas holiday. Happy birthday Jesus!

[@carolines3953]

We had clementines in our stockings growing up. I think the tradition comes from the Great Depression when oranges were scarce and would be considered a real treat.

[@theotherway1639]

Good info. What helped me was that book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels. It's easy to over shop.

[@fiveandfour]

I remember that they were also considered a special stocking treat in the Little House on the Prairie books, so the tradition must be even older in the United States 😀

[@eefje__]

Old video, but just want to tell you Dutch children get clementines in their shoes for Saint Nicholas. I guess the tradition is as old as Christmas itself. Yes I'm watching Christmas videos in August 😊.

[@vickyhill4107]

@@eefje__ hehe, me too

[@joymajewski577]

Love all the stocking stuffers, my son is full grown now, I am going to do this with my granddaughter. Thank you so much for all of your ideas for stockings.

[@jandewitt7067]

We have such similar gifting styles. I always love how much thought and attention you put into each item. They are clearly hand picked with love!

[@NatalieBennett]

Awww thank you so much! I love putting gifts together for them!

[@cherylmark1503]

Rewatching this video!! Great stocking ideas. I always include a new fun toothbrush!

[@Jolly.Joy_Rose]

I’m so saving this video to use for next year! Especially the part about breaking up bigger sets, I never thought of that

[@Test11123]

You always have great ideas! Consumables is something I already implement, but I hadn't even thought about the other things you mentioned!

[@alexismiller6483]

Hello Natalie! So glad you are taking a break for family time. Can’t wait to watch your next video! My 2 year old daughter and I love watching all the messy to minimal videos ♥️#sneakygiveaway

[@Isna4727]

Growing up we always got an orange, a pear, a little jar of maraschino cherries, and Pez!

[@jessicapeel8097]

We put some snacks in my daughter’s first stocking last year- teething crackers & an avacado. We’re planning to do the same this year and she has requested pickles 😂 #sneakygiveaway

[@Shannonlee1985]

My mom always put an orange in our stockings. I put one in my kids stockings too.

[@joyshannon8370]

I always enjoy your videos. So calm and collected.

[@ghisellegustavsson]

I loved getting fun pens with scent and fun colors in my stocking! Thanx for the video

[@sunshinelily7897]

Thank you for your videos and sharing your spiritual beliefs. We need more of this because of The Times. Thank you

[@TheSmilingTabbyStickers]

My parents always put new undies in ours when we were little. We used to laugh so hard about it

[@ThisisHomeVlogs]

Lol I usually add socks to my kids stocking! It’s something they always need!

[@cobysmith3179]

We do socks and underwear every year in our stockings. My mom still does it for me at 40! I look forward to it every year! Then we just have a snack and one family game and that’s it!

[@kbenevides1]

Love this! I break up sets of stuff too. Stocking are my FAVORITE thing to give and receive on Christmas. I love all the little thoughtful things. 🥰

[@Tipywos]

We always do a Chocolate orange in our stockings

[@erinsilva855]

That footage from your family's old home videos is so wonderful 🎄 I always love rewatching old family videos from Christmas! Especially being able to see and hear our loved ones who have passed on ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family!! #sneakygiveaway

[@lannahh2076]

​#premieregang we do practical gifts in stockings along with favorite treats. some practical things are; favorite soaps, or lotions, new toothbrush or fun things like tickets to an event (which we aren't doing this year)

[@madeleinep7103]

I always got a toothbrush too.

[@esmicu]

Thanks!

[@katrinadriskell9563]

The oranges actually came from the Great Depression when fresh fruit wasn’t common, so it was special to get it on Christmas 🥰 My family has always done an orange and apple

[@alissadewolf3447]

We are doing stockings for the kids for the first time this year. I’m so excited! My oldest is 3, so I think she will actually enjoy it now. I remember loving this video last year, but watching it again, I still think it’s the best stocking stuffer video I have ever watched. I love fun and practical ideas! #sneakygiveaway

[@donna_dc]

Yay! It's Monday! 😊 Can't wait... 😍🎄🎁

[@crystalemmerson1334]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Enjoy!

[@jacquelyn.kay1109]

I'm putting two board books, snacks, and those Popit things in my 20 month old's stocking. Thanks for these ideas! I missed this video last year. Love your content! Have a wonderful and restful Christmas break

[@jenjen1726]

I'm glad you are taking a break to be with your family! We miss you but it's necessary to have that time together. Still praying for you and family. Love this video. So cute and great ideas. #sneakygiveaways

[@nicolecroy5949]

I always buy my children a small book from the dollar tree for their stocking. #preimeregang

[@laurayeo7832]

I am so happy that you took Christmas off this year to spend more time with the family. I look forward to watching your next vid on the 28th - see you then! xo

[@ielline]

I'm currently liking mini chocolates (i can't finish the normal sized bars) and i really like snacks so that would be a good stuffer for me 😁 #premieregang

[@maryhinojosa5975]

Like the stockings stuffers ideas, Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you and your Family! 🎄🎉

[@victoriaparker3975]

This year my daughters stocking will have a new toothbrush, toothpaste, kinder eggs, and i got a box of playdoh and fruit snacks to open #premieregang💜🎄

[@ThisisHomeVlogs]

Yes! I always add toothpaste and a toothbrush! I also add socks because I feel like my kids are always missing one lol

[@blessedoutwest]

Perfect timing! I was just out with a friend this morning telling her I needed some ideas for my kid's stockings. Thank you!

[@taylorbrandt507]

I always give my husband his favorite kinds of tea in his stocking, and my mom does, too. We can usually get him a supply that lasts for most of the year! #premieregang

[@whitneyboo]

It’s so strange to see the old normal in this #sneakygiveaway! I guess I’ve already acclimated to your new space. What a great reminder for how quickly blessings are placed upon us in the span of a year!

[@diannajohnson9086]

Thanks for sharing your ideas! They were very helpful! Love your videos!🎄🎄🎄🎄🥰

[@andreafontenot3152]

This is is the best stocking stuffer video I’ve ever seen! Love all your videos. Merry Christmas and God bless 💕

[@breakingin62]

My Mom always put in an orange, I have kept that tradition with my kiddos. Merry Christmas Bennet family, we love your content.❤️❤️🎄🎄

[@sandywilliamson4435]

I absolutely love thinking back on my family’s Christmas traditions...including the stocking!! I remember having the same stocking every year, and when I was a teenager, my Mom asked if I wanted a new one. I said no because my original one means so much to me...even now at 43 years old.🥰 I always got a Lifesavers Christmas storybook every year, as well as a chocolate Santa Claus candy...along with some other little things. I love using consumables in my kids’ stockings! They love it, and I love that I don’t have to find a “home” for those items. Win-win! Merry Christmas and many blessings to you and your family, Natalie!!! #SNEAKYGIVEAWAY

[@katelynnelson2287]

#sneakygiveaway so glad you are enjoying time with your family. We usually go overboard on stockings in our family. Growing up we really didn’t do them in my family.

[@lindamcdermott8157]

I just watched your video for 2021, instructing me to watch this one for your giveaway. It is thoughtful of you to do this. I want to send condolences for the loss of your grandma, and admire you for your faith and compassion. It is hard to experience a loss during the holidays. I lost a daughter several years ago right before Christmas. It is hard, but as the years pass, the memories and love are still there but the pain becomes more tolerable. You have a beautiful family and a beautiful new house to make wonderful new memories. Enjoy your holidays, have a Merry Christmas.

[@jubileenewlin1350]

My parents have also put an orange in the toe of our stockings, and I love it. Thanks for the great tips!

[@itoshiibaka8267]

What a great idea to get us to watch your older video. These tips are great, too! #sneakygiveaway I unknowingly followed most your hacks! I did the thrifting last year, but not this year because I'm sick to death of how many small toy cars he has. 😆 This year, I have: - rainbow chocolate chip cookies - xmas chocolate kisses - PAW Patrol pups set broken up ( still looking for small fabric gift bags to reuse every year...) - two soft-cover books rolled a bit (I guess they'll poke out!) - little easy-up socks with puppies (3-pack broken up probably) - pack of Crayola crayons from our local Buy Nothing group I think that was it. I didn't know i did these things, but now that you've pointed it out, I'll be thrifting more next year and repeating these gems!

[@allysonbrandt996]

I did mostly consumables this year for the stockings. I used to get the clementines in my stockings from my grandmom! I went to 5below and found some really unique candies, lip balm, toothbrushes, and thats pretty much it. Thank you for sharing! #sneakygiveaway

[@berniceaguilar1166]

Great ideas! My mom always put oranges 🍊 in our stockings and I carried on the tradition with my kids. Oranges in stockings were a tradition people used to help keep away scurvy. I do many of the things you do, plus a new toothbrush and silly patterned socks 🧦. Now my kids are older, no more toys, Sephora, lotions, and face masks. 😂❤️🎄#sneakygiveaway

[@summerking6595]

Our family has so enjoyed following along on your journey toward minimalism and your new home this past year. Merry Christmas! #sneakygiveaway

[@esmicu]

#SNEAKYGIVAWAY Watched this last year and left a comment about my memories of my dad's side of the whole family getting together for a big sleepover filled with skits and movies and Super/regular Nintendo wars, singing songs, playing board games before falling asleep for Christmas morning. It feels like times have changed so much now... I miss these get togethers so much! Used a lot of these tips for my almost three year old's stocking this year. We've always believed stockings are for extensions of the mains gifts under the tree or for smaller essentials (toothbrush, new pens for school, magnifying glass, USB stick, etc ) and kept it to a maximum of $30 per stocking. Always kept to a budget, and used tips from Jordan on Funcheaporfree's channel to plan out Christmas and holiday spending. Praying for you and your family Natalie... Your grandma seemed like such a sweet woman. May she sit next to God in Heaven in peace and send warm hugs and loving kisses to all of you on Christmas and everyday thereafter.

[@carolaspinall1965]

What amazing ideas you have suggested here. I'm so glad you signposted to this vlog because it has really helped me to finalise our stockings! Bless you. Praying a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year for 2022 for you and your family Natalie 🥰🙏🏻🎅🤶

[@sharonsomers5513]

I never did the orange in the stocking. I know my grandmother always said they would get an orange. It was a special treat for Christmas because they were hard to come by. I usually did a lot of consumable items for stockings. My kids are grown now, I miss the days when they were little. Like all the items you got. #sneakygiveaway. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@BeautiflyyBargains]

I always remember a story my Grandmother use to tell us about the items they got when they were kids in the 40s there would always be apple and an orange and they would get a chocolate or some candy and a home made gifts and that would he it. Just the stocking Christmas morning and maybe one or two gifts my heart ❤ I miss my grandparents so deeply especially thus time of year. I enjoyed this video Natalie thanks for sharing and getting me here to the #sneakygiveaway

[@leannahartter2787]

Thanks for sharing, Natalie! Thinking of you as I’m sure you’re missing your grandma very much this Christmas! May you feel the Lord’s comfort & nearness! And still, enjoy the blessed Christmas season! I enjoy your channel- the home stuff, mom stuff, minimalist stuff, remodel!! :) #sneakygiveaway

[@huongthu8084]

Omg, this is the FIRST video I watched of yours, I don't remember how I landed here/who I was watching prior but I remember u saying taking a larger set & breaking it up, putting pieces into the stockings instead of just one. Great idea. I knew from this video that I was going to love watching.....& I was right! You've become one of my favs! so funny ur giveaway instructions was to go to this video & comment & its first time watching u. Hope u and ur family have a Merry Christmas & the kiddos get everything from Santa that they asked for 🎄🎁💗

[@sydneygray1331]

This video is making me miss your old house!!!! I always love your minimal and easy ideas. I have two boys ages 1 and 2 and they don’t really need a lot so I love these ideas too. #sneakygiveaway can’t wait to see you next week!

[@lulumartinez17]

Missed seeing a new video for you today but totally understand family comes first. Hope you are all doing okay and Hailey is feeling much better! #sneakygiveaway #itstheholidayseason

[@marjorielowder1748]

A little hack for you on paper punches- if you punch through some aluminum foil a few times, it sharpens them up- also, if they are feeling a bit sticky, punch through some wax paper a few times and voila! :)

[@shadegarden7375]

Pet toys for the kids is a great idea, at the dollar store or TJMAX!

[@nicoleziegler1486]

Stockings are the best! I always love getting a bunch of yummy treats and practical items. #sneakygiveway Merry Christmas Bennett family! ❄️🎄

[@laurenstamper5651]

Love the idea of putting consumable items into the stockings. We're expecting our first in April so this will definitely be extremely helpful for our growing family over the years- thank you! #sneakygiveaway

[@shadegarden7375]

Your eye makeup is beautiful!!

[@marissabrown2589]

I love stockings - one of my favorite things to buy for! We also do a lot of consumables but I hadn't thought of breaking up a large toy - genius!! #sneakygiveaway

What a great reminder to rewatch this video for last min stocking stuffers! #sneakygiveaway 🎄🥰

[@mphoto925]

This is the best stocking video ! I watched it last year and revisited again this year #sneakygiveaway I love your videos and you have a beautiful little family. As a Christian mom trying to navigate life during this pandemic your videos are very refreshing and helpful. Thank you and happy holidays xxx

[@wendygarner6931]

These are such great ideas! My kiddos are adults now and live in another state but I thought I'd share what we did. Basics were a variety of chocolate, apple, orange, mixed nuts in shells. Then depending on what they were into I'd get accessories to go with something bigger under the tree or something they already have. For my daughter I'd also include hair ties, barrettes, hand lotion, flavored lip balms and earrings or jewelry sets and makeup. For my son it would be the matchbox cars, beanie babies, gift cards or game boy accessories. When they were little Dollar Tree toys were always a hit. Enjoy your time off with your family. Merry Christmas! #sneakygiveaway

[@mamap20]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@MalinaCC]

Snacks are always a good idea, no matter the time of the year 😀 The coordinating stuffers with gifts is such a good idea. #sneakygiveaway

[@Murburns]

we just moved too and have been enjoying it your moving videos! We also lost my grandmother just after thanksgiving, and we said the same thing- she decided it was time she got to spend Christmas with her husband in heaven. Hope you all are doing well. #sneakygiveaway

[@emilyirvine1828]

These are great ideas for the kids! Enough for them to be excited, but doesn't clutter up the house #sneakygiveaway

[@nickijean28]

I didn't see this video last year but thankfully because of your recent Christmas week short and your #sneakygiveaway I was able to gain some really cool ideas about what to put in my kids stockings this year. Honestly they were just going to be decoration and not filled due to no ideas or "too cheap clutter". Thank you Natalie for all the inspiration you post week after week. Enjoy your holiday and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!! 💜

[@courtney9694]

I didn’t even know you had this video. I loved it. My mom always put oranges in our stockings because she said her mom always put oranges in hers. #sneakygiveaway 😁

Stocking stuffers are the hardest! 😄 #sneakygiveaway Love rewatching old videos too! 🥰

[@Mama_Plantitas]

For stockings we usually add little candies and treats we know our kids will enjoy after we open presents and sit down to watch Christmas movies. We have tried little toys or other items but the Christmas movie snacks have been a hit the past couple of years! #SneakyGiveaway

[@UnWrapWJRap]

My wife and I love your videos, and she watches them more than anyone else’s videos!! Keep up the great content and also enjoy life when you are able!! The great place in life you are in, partially from your vlogging, is the exact reason you are able to take time away from producing more content sometimes and enjoying the benefits of your hard work and dedication, if you didn’t take that time off you would be doing it all for nothing!! #SneakyGiveAway
