1) The Right Stocking: Some families already have their stockings and you'll just have to work with what you got. However, if you're just beginning out or have the opening to start a new tradition, here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a stocking for stuffing:
- Size: I have found that a medium size stocking that's 20-24 inches from cuff to toe, is the exquisite size. Remember- you have to Stuff a stocking and a large one could ruin your Christmas budget.
- Material: Make sure the stocking is well constructed and made of firm fabric. Knit stockings stretch in both directions. Again, think of your finances.
- If your house hangs their stockings, make sure the loop is strong enough to hold some pounds without breaking.

Since I love to wrap presents as much as I love being a Christmas stocking stuffer, it's a "no brainer." Each Christmas stocking stuffer becomes a minute gift - even if it's a pack of gum. Also, unwrapping gifts will slow a child down and make the magic of Christmas morning last a minute longer. 4) The Art of a Christmas Stocker Stuffer:
- The Foot: Put something round in the toe; an orange, a ball or even a cellophane wrapped popcorn ball. Toss in some nuts that are still in their shells. Add some wrapped candy.
- The Body: The body of the stocking holds most of the merchandise. eye your stuffers and choose trinkets and treasures that can be layered. The body of the stocking is exquisite for a long Christmas stocking stuffer like a box of dominos, a cribbage board or a rolled up magazine. Don't forget that even adults like toys. Take your time and be prepared to pack and repack.
- The Eye Catcher: You need to have something positively great Unwrapped tucked into the top of the stocking, about 30% visible. This is what the recipient sees while making his or her 15th trip to the bathroom.
5) As Your Family's legal Christmas Stocking Stuffer Start a Tradition: Our house has put oranges in the toe of a Christmas stocking along with walnuts for at least 50 years. If you give each child a special ornamentation every year, think about putting it in the stocking. Cater to their hobbies. My brothers still get packs of sports card. I have a girl friend whose stocking always includes a silly magic trick from her dad. I know a husband who always hides the big mark item (diamond earrings, pearl necklace, tennis bracelet) in his wife's stocking. 6) Who Can Be a Christmas Stocking Stuffer? The thriving Christmas Stocking Stuffer is someone who is: a good listener, observant and thinks love is in the details. He or she is organized and can think exterior the box. And don't forget the three stages of life:
- During stage one - you believe in Santa Claus.
- During stage two - you don't believe in Santa Claus.
