Christmas Stocking Ideas for Toddlers

When I was a little girl, one of my favourite things about Christmas wasn't the Christmas dinner or the proper presents wrapped nicely under the tree, it was my stocking. I say stocking, back then we had pillowcases and it was the most exciting part of Christmas day waking up to my 'stocking' at the bottom of my bed full of the silliest little things, but all things I adored and things I would use all year round.

Last Christmas Willow was only 11 months old, so her stocking was super simple; mini size plushes of Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy from In the Night Garden. This year? I've gone all out, filled her gorgeous monogrammed Christmas stocking to the brim and have given her the stocking of my childhood dreams.

Getting festive with The Handmade Christmas Co

One of the things I love most about Christmas is decorating our home, making it as festive as possible, and having a tree that is full of special decorations and ornaments. Last year I made an order for The Handmade Christmas Co, for a beautiful personalised Santa sack for Willow. I was hugely impressed with the quality, so I was thrilled to be given the chance to work with The Handmade Christmas Co this year, sharing their stunning collection of personalised Christmas baubles and stockings.

The run up to Christmas can often be even more exciting than the big day itself and I absolutely adore making festive plans with friends and family to take advantage of all the Christmas celebrations. Meals with friends and family get-togethers, gift-swapping and work Christmas parties, many of us like to get a new outfit or get their hair done; I like to spend my time finding the perfect makeup to wear with whatever I pull out of my wardrobe.

Festive Christmas Stories for Toddlers

For Willow's very first Christmas in 2016, I introduced Christmas stories into her little library and started reading them to her in December, to give her an idea of Christmas and Santa. I really enjoyed reading the Christmas stories with her and I decided to do it again this year, adding some lovely new books to Willow's collection.

As Willow is so young, at just 22 months, fun and colourful Christmas stories are a great way to help her understand Christmas more and it's so lovely seeing her get more and more excited for 'Santa coming!'. If you have a toddler or any young bookworms, one of these might make a lovely new Christmas book to read together.
