It's great fun stuffing a Christmas stocking, especially when you're doing it for a child.

You can save on fun
stocking stuffers for your kids by checking out the great assortment of items at the dollar store.
Candy - There are lots of Christmas candy treats to choose from, including Hersey's
chocolate covered marshmallow snowmen, a small gingerbread house tin filled with candy (it's also a coin bank) and a Winnie The Pooh egg with a toy inside. If your kid likes Mario Brothers, you can get a Klik Candy Dispenser featuring Yoshi or Mario, too. A large hollow German chocolate Santa is $2.
Other food items I've seen include chocolate chip cookies in colorful large iced
Christmas tins and large iced Christmas cookies for a buck each.
Toys - You can always get small stuffed
toys to sit in the top of the Christmas stocking. There are some really cute Christmas characters available or you can opt for something that will be played with long after Christmas has passed. There are usually small dolls available and I saw something called Squisy Dinos for $1.25 each.
