In this video I’m sharing exactly what I put in my kids’ stockings this year—and how I did it on a budget for a large family. With six kids, I’m always looking for stocking stuffers that feel fun and personal without turning into a bunch of junk we’ll trip over for the next six months. I walk you through the kinds of little gifts I chose, where I found the best deals, and how I try to match items to each child’s personality and interests. I’m also sharing a few of the practical things that make stockings easier in our home—like choosing items that get used (mugs, books, small accessories) and shopping places that help me stretch our Christmas budget. I mention a few of my go-to spots for affordable books (because you know I’m always going to sneak books into a gift plan), plus some simple “fun” picks like character mugs, Squishmallows, and a Switch controller. If you’re a homeschool mom trying to make Christmas special while still being wise with your money, I hope this gives you a bunch of ideas you can copy and adapt for your own crew.
