I know you are a wonderful mother. Just one mom to another, a kind reminder about the dangers of latex balloons and orbeez around the tiny ones. So many dangers. Great stocking stuffer ideas! Love your content as always.
My nine year old really wants to duct tape himself to a wall... nope 😬😅 Just a heads up, I just saw an interview this morning with a mom who has a ten month old on his third surgery after swallowing an orbee. I'm sure you're super cautious, I just thought it would be wise to mention, as I never would have guessed they'd be such a problem. My kids LOVE them though!
Hi Hillary. I just what to let you know that I just watched a segment on GMA about a little girl who almost died from swallowing a water bead (Orbeez is a brand) I’m not saying you can’t give them to your older ones or that you hadn’t planed on supervising them. God just put it on my heart and I literally watched the segment the same day your video came up. Info saves lives and us mamas have to stick together. God bless! 🥰 Update: sorry just saw all the other caring mama’s comments about the water beads & balloons, Didn’t mean to be redundant!
I saw the comment about the balloons and I hate to say anything negative, but I feel compelled to warn you about the danger associated with those water beads, in case you (or another subscriber) haven’t heard. There have been lawsuits over injuries to young children. “The beads can swell up to 400 times their original size when immersed in water, so if a child swallows an un-expanded bead it can swell up in their gut and cause a blockage,” said Dr Rose Cairns, Senior Poisons Specialist at the NSW Poisons Information Centre. “Some of them grow to larger than a golf ball in size.” Otherwise, love all of the cute stuff, especially your clever picks for Dan! Blessings!❤
My husband always gets beef jerky in his stocking too. It’s the only thing I can be sure won’t end up in his “Christmas time capsule” AKA the box in his closet with things I was certain would be great for him, but remain unopened. I tease him that one year, I’m not doing any shopping for him and just giving him all those gifts again.
Oh the days of these types of stocking stuffers ♥️. I remember them well. I love looking back, thinking of how each year the stocking stuffers grow with the interest of our children. Great choices Hillary! ♥️
I remember looking for unusual but fun things for my children. I think I enjoyed the finding as much as the children did when they opened their stockings. It brings back happy memories. 🤗
Five Below is a very fun store . My son loves those panda cookies, and chocorooms. As my children were growing up because I have a girl and a boy balancing their gifts (value and interest wise) was a bit of a challenge. But it has always worked out. Now that they are older a roll of quarters is always a good thing to put in their stockings at Christmas. Krabby patties are always a hit with everyone young and older. I always wrap some of the stocking gifts, and not others. Thanks for sharing🥰🎅🎄❄☃🎁🎉✝💝
Hi Hilary great stocking stuffer ideas! But please careful with the orbeez, there was a story on yahoo where a baby swallowed just one and it expanded in their intestines and needed five surgeries, it was a life threatening situation. I just thought id let you know as a friend. But I really love all your gift ideas and videos!
These are really cute ideas. I think your children will be thrilled with their fun gifts. I love stocking stuffers. I don't have children but my husband and I used to exchange stocking stuffers with his side of our small family instead of buying bigger presents and we always had so much fun with it. They were by far my favorite gifts to shop for and open. We always wrapped ours, too.
I used to wrap all the stocking stuffers and last year I said to myself, "There must be something easier I can do." I ended up wrapping each item in a piece of tissue wrap and sealing the ends with scotch tape, That was much easier.
I have always wrapped stocking stuffers. I had 5 children and my parents and husband to wrap plus gifts then my children grew up and I had partner stockings and then grandchildren stockings. I’ve had up to 18 stockings to fill and wrap. Recently since my children are 40 and over, I have just stopped all the stockings and only give gifts, maybe 😅. I also went over board with gifts, usually 8 to 10 each. I have cut way back now realizing that it was not really good. But I will admit it was fun except for wrapping it all.
I put juice boxes in stockings for years. Now it’s candy (for everyone, including the 3 year-old 😆) but I love those simple things that they just loved.
I buy Titus that brand of Bears too. It’s his favorite snack to take on trips. Madewell was having 40% off, so I bought my sister in laws cute socks to add in their gifts.❤️🎄
They will all like what you got them. BTE I love my Christmas planner. Do you foresee a day to day or weekly planner you may put out sometime? Thank you.
My family's favorite is stockings! We make the special but simple as well and wrap some of the items but not all. We usually wrap the non food things unless it's fun to have hanging out like drum sticks (our teen), or a stuffed animal or something like that. We had reading lights that clip to the bed hanging out of stockings last year.
Great ideas except the balloons. They are a choking hazard for little ones. I worked with kids my whole life and one of the big dangers are balloons ( hot dogs, grapes,)
Hi Hilary. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Please be very careful with the latex balloons. I had a friend in high school whose family experienced a freak accident; they lost their baby nephew because he choked on a piece of a popped balloon he was playing with. Ever since then, I always cringe when I see babies and toddlers with latex balloons (they put everything in their mouths).
Hi Hillary. Enjoy your show. Those water beads are highly dangerous for children. It can easily swallow them and do a lot of damage. I would reconsider.
I have 11 stockings to stuff this year and I also wrap all the gifts which my husband does not understand. It's not the way his family did it but it's the way mine did. I will have my older children help wrap since it's so much. I used to get them similar things but as they have gotten older I try to get more varied items, especially since they wrap each other's.
Be very careful with the orbies and the balloons around your toddler and your four year old. I would even think of other toys to replace them with. Let them have those only occasionally when you are out and about and can monitor them. At home, you may be distracted with housework. It only take a a moment for little ones to get not trouble; so why have potentially dangerous toys? I always got the Mylar balloons ( less dangerous) for my kids at special occasions.
Great ideas. Also be careful with the Orbeez there was a warning they expand if a small child accidentally swallows one it is dangerous, i believe a childs airway was blocked.
🎅 Hilary, who prepares your stocking? I have always wrapped stocking gifts. I agree, wrapped gifts are part of the fun. I hide money in deceptive places. One year I rolled cash and stuck it in the fingers of gloves. When the kiddos, well seven to twelve, tried the gloves, oops, another surprise! 🙋♀️🎄❄
These are some similar items I get for the stockings of my kids and husband too 😉 I usually opt for something more practical and can be consumed. But daddy likes to get them some cheesy small toys sometimes as well as candies, which is fine too. If anything, this is the time to get them these little items we normally might not get for them, right? 😊❤ ~mandy
My 7 month old cousin choked on a deflated latex balloon and died. It was an insane tragedy Noone should go through. Balloons are basically banned in our house unless they're mylar bc they almost never deflate and are too big to put in your mouth. Please please please reconsider 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry that happened to your family 😭💔 . My mom would never allowed us to play with balloons or any kid in the house because of that. They are so dangerous 😓
@@cmgordillor thank you so much ♡ she found a deflated balloon in her daycare they must've forgotten to throw away 🥺🥺😭😭 I've made it my mission to keep others safe and warn all my friends
Sorry to be a buzz kill but deflated balloons are very dangerous for small children. Although I know you would be very vigilant with your toddler playing with them as you are such an attentive mother but to be on the safe side I wouldn’t let him play with them unsupervised ☹️
I have to say, stuffing a stocking is one of my favorite things to do! I too wrap everything individually. You can never go wrong with the practical items and the snacks and the special surprise boxes. Great picks darling. I had a very quiet Thanksgiving. I was and am great full every day for my life , my children and how I grew up with two loving parents that gave me and showed so much love ❤️ my children were not able to be with me but I made it a great day for myself🙋🏻♀️🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄🎄🎄🎄
No need to state the obvious, but like you said, she’s a very vigilant and attentive mother, who wouldn’t leave her son playing alone with the balloons. Not sure why people feel the need to say things that need not be said. So, why don’t we all just enjoy Hilary’s videos, without anyone being a buzz kill! 😊
I feel like your 4 year old was just born!! 😭where does the time go?! My oldest is the same age as yours. Time just flies. GREAT ideas. My kids would kill for duct tape 🥰🤣 love from Maine
Hi Hilary! I like the idea of getting an unusual candy item and Five Below looks like a good place to shop. I need to get a Game Boy candy for my husband. He'll love that! lol I also individually wrap all of our stocking stuffers too.
My neighbours grand daughter passed away when she tried to blow up a balloon,took a deep breath to blow and blocked her airway.Please be very careful with balloons.

Cracker Barrel tends to have nostalgic candies and toys as an option for stocking stuffers.

Yes. Please keep those water beads away from the baby!
I bought my 5 year old grandson Post Its because he always takes his dad's.
I love this!!
The water beads have been in the news a lot be careful with those!

Thank you for sharing the stocking stuffer ideas. It's interesting and helpful!
Hillary great gifts. Stockings gifts to give are my favorite.
The orbeez you can see many stories of dangers & video on RUclips.
Have a great day.
I also wrap all stockings! It wasn’t hard when we had three kids but 3 became 16….son-in-law’s and grandkids, but I still do it!!!!
balloons! i never would have thought of that - but it's so true! cheap and hours upon hours of fun!
Nice! Thanks for reminding me about Five Below.. They have great inexpensive stocking stuffers.. Thanks Hillary!
I love all the love and thought you put into your families stocking. I can't wait to see what you get in yours.

I've never heard of Krabby Patties candy. The kids are big Sponge Bob fans -- they would love those!

Thank you, love your ideas for my grands!
The orbees can be dangerous. My grandson put them up his nose.
Great ideas! But you forgot the orange for the toe 😂 that’s what Santa always put in ours 🎅
Fun ideas! My state doesn't have a 5 below. But I find things at dollar tree! Got shopkins mystery boxes!
Hi beautiful awesome work 💛💖💟💖💟💖💟💖💞💖
I bought the gel crayons a while ago, not on clearance. They are cool. My son loves them.

Hi Hillary. I’m concerned about whatever is causing your hoarseness. Seems it’s been going on a while. Hope you’ve had it checked out. 💛

My neighbours grand daughter passed away when she tried to blow up a balloon,took a deep breath to blow and blocked her airway.Please be very careful with balloons.
Hi everyone. Someone explain the duct tape to me. That threw me. Thanks ☺️
Hilary, I recommend doing a covid test before you are around anyone.
