Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I've been picking things up here and there throughout the year, but now that Halloween is over I'll probably start to focus on it more! Our kids get lots of gifts from family members so we try not to go too crazy for them, but we usually do one larger gift and then a couple necessities like books or pajamas. We also fill a stocking for each of them, and instead of the typical candy (they get so much from everyone else!) we do smaller toys or games. This year I found them some adorable stocking stuffers from Foothill Toy Co. that I know they'll love!
Foothill Toy Co. Matchbox Mice and Friends
Foothill Toy Co. makes the sweetest Matchbox Mice and Friends, and each comes in their own individual box. The thing that drew me to these toys in the first place is that they remind me of The Borrowers; does anyone else remember reading that as a kid and thinking it was so amazing and crazy that The Borrowers used matchboxes as beds?! Well, that's exactly the premise of these stocking stuffers!
Each box has a small pull tab to slide the box and critter out. They're curled up in their little matchboxes with a blanket and/or accessory. Each one is unique, and you can choose from all twelve that Foothill Toy Co. offers! There are a few different mouse options as well as other creatures like a sloth, kitten, sheep, and more.
I couldn't resist Harper the Field Mouse for our daughter Harper! Harper is a stuffed mouse in a soft fabric outfit, and has a blanket and pillow in coordinated colors. Each critter has a classic feel and is made from high-quality materials for long-term open-ended play. Harper's box is a classic matchbox and it's just 5.5" tall by 3.25" wide, so it will fit perfectly into our daughter's stocking this Christmas!
The Cutest Dinosaur Stocking Stuffers!
Our son Lincoln is loving dinosaurs lately, so we went with Spike the Dinosaur for him! Spike comes in the cutest plush eggshell bed so it looks like he's hatching when you take him out of the box. Plus, he comes with a little blanket and plush bone. Spike's box is a little larger than Harper's but it will still fit into Lincoln's stocking and I know he's going to be delighted about tucking him into bed in his little egg!
Something Different From Traditional Stocking Stuffers
I can't get over how cute these Matchbox Friends are! They're something a little different than a traditional stocking stuffer and their boxes can be reused even if the kids don't want to keep their critters inside. I'm guessing my kids will choose to keep Harper and Spike in their boxes though, because they will love tucking them in. Be sure to check out all of the Matchbox Mice and Friends to read their personalized biographies and choose a favorite for your own kids!
