Stocking stuffers for a 3-year-old
These are the small things I buy for stockings. Most of them end up in our bath or the on-the-go bag, and the light-up cubes are the one I’d grab first.

Glo Pals Light-Up Cubes, Cookie Monster
$9.59 was $11.99 on saleprice as of Oct 6, 7:29am ETone of the BEST stocking stuffers. i like them under $10. there are character versions and plain versions. they don't last forever, so consider them consumables, but *so* worth it, especially in winter when nighttime baths are even darker.
