Id like to make a stocking for my 8 1/2 year old cousin who I really know nothing about. I wil include candy, but what other stuff can I add? I am looking to make a stocking for under 10 bucks, not including candy. So 2-3 dollar ideas would be GREAT
Answer
Here are some ideas :
Temporary tattoo
Gag gifts - like a whoopee cushion
Glow in the dark star stickers for the ceiling in his bedroom
Small lego gift
Card game like Top Trumps or Uno

10 year old boys room makeover...?
Zoe Marie
Can you tell me some awesome room ideas for a 10 year old boys room. My husband and I are thinking about building him a loft bed like the one on the t.v. show Drake and Josh. Any other ideas are very much welcome and appreciated!! Thanks!
Answer
At ten, you could really get into spending some money. So you really want to avoid the whole "theme" thing and go at it as a bedroom. With furniture that can be used as he gets older and be changed up with just bedding and paint.
The loft bedding sounds cool. I immediately thought of the one with the desk set below, and the bed above. It would be great and he wouldn't outgrow it any time soon. Currently it could be used for homework and his art projects, and later could be used for his computer and such.
A cool paint job around the room, like a stripe or something would be cool for him. There are a couple of places that have some great bedding options. Of course Pottery Barn Kids/teens comes to mind. As does the Company Store. Love their selection. Both of those places also have corresponding accesories like rugs, bulletin boards, cushions, curtains, things like that. Needless to say the Company store is cheaper. However, if you fall in love with something at Pottery Barn, buy the must haves now, then check their clearance department on line frequently. You can often find the matching pieces 50 to 75 % off.
Not to be forgotten for cool items in his room is Target. They take a bit to hit the trend, but soon enough will have some cool accessories in the colors that you choose.
With a throw rug, and a padded stool in the color of the curtains for the desk, maybe a bean bag for hanging out.
Pick up the Magnet/Erase board at like Sam's to hang on the wall behind the desk. Tape off the stripe for the paint. And he's got a really cool room that he will love and be able to stay in for many years. The organizational items you can pick up from all the above mentioned places all the way to Lillian Vernon, or Lillian Vernon Kids. He'll continue to grow into it. As he gets older, wait out the college sales until they have marked down the things that didn't sell to nothing, and you are set.
I just know he's going to love having a "big boy" room. And you'll love it not breaking the bank.
Good Luck!!!
