I always loved having my stocking filled with goodies. I liked that as much as I did getting presents. I wasn't always a big fan of the apple or orange that was inside but I loved getting sparklers and candy and trinkets.
My favorite stocking items were the personalized pens/pencils/notepads and address labels. It was so much fun holding the new stuff with my name on it. The notepads always said: FROM THE DESK OF DEBBIE. I would always display those pads on my desk.
My pens and pencils with my name on them were exciting to use at school. No one could borrow them because they had my name on them. Also...my family members sometimes borrowed things and forgot to return them. These had my name on them so usually they would leave them alone.
My address labels were so cool. They were usually in pastel colors and came with a cute little dispenser. I was a letter writer so having personalized return labels made it more fun to write letters.
I continued doing that for my kids....but now....pens and pencils are not used very much anymore. last year, I got my adult kids personalized jump drives. I think they liked them.
Merry Christmas.
