I had to make three this year...one for the boyfriend - I ignored the cat that came along with them.
When can I stop doing stockings?
Do you still get a stocking?

Still do stockings and what goes in them differs per person. In our house, Santa is in charge of stockings so they're all tailored to each individual.
Kids:
big *** lollipops, candy dispensers and cookie each: one polar bear one penguin
jacks in the shape of spiders
Hot Wheel cars
Dinosaur toy
golden candy coins
chap stick in fruit flavors
wooden 3d puzzle set
more car toys
toy frogs for the bath tub
Husband:
orange flavored chocolates
beef jerky
mini coffee package made my Jack Daniels
sangria flavored gum
chap stick
butterfinger flled ornament
I had to get stockings for my mother, her husband and my brother who are visiting. Nothing major for them just candy, a small manicure set for my mom, and poker sets for the men with some jalepeno chocolate thrown in.
I like the stocking tradition myself. In our house we are woken at the crack of dawn by Xavier and to placate him before we can even think about coffee we do stockings. After stockings we force the kids to wait until we make breakfast, Mom and Dad gulp their first cup of coffee down, and we have another full cup in hand before we even think about the actual gifts. It helps pace the morning activities so we're done in 40 minutes instead of 20

My grandmother has a stocking for everyone of her children and grandchildren, and they are all filled each year.
So we all go to her house on christmas day and there is a ring of stockings hung around the dining room and living room.
We range from 3 to 65. And we all get things in our stockings.

Uranium ore.
My in-laws are the keepers of the stockings, so I imagine next time we go over to their house we'll get our goodies. I haven't really done stocking stuffing because we just didn't do it in our family when I was growing up, so I never really think about it.
As for presents, we got Tristan the Ikea Lillabo train set. We got him the basic figure-8 starter set (not shown on the website) the bridge and tunnel set, and the rail set with the little track-changers, and also the Mula push-along toy.
We got his little friend Sasha, who has a toy kitchen, a couple pieces of the Duktig cookware.
Yeah, it was a budget Christmas

Ikea 4twI got my first stocking in years today. A friend I work with brought me in one. She put in the below:
Candy Cane filled with hershey's kisses
3 scratch tickets (no winners unfortunately)
A package of pens (because I'm always stealing from her)
chocolate covered marshmallows
christmas tree bulbs (I bought my first fake tree this year, and didn't have anything but the lights that came with it)
pint of Crown Royal
Personally, I was really touched by the effort. It wasn't expensive, but it was filled with some neat stuff that I got a kick out of.
It made me fill a little insensitive for giving her a gift card.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Didn't do stockings this year but I normally just ask for razorblades. There's something about ripping open a pack of razors that's just awesome.
Candy makes you fat and most gifts of substance feel more at home under the tree but razors are practical and highly appreciated.

Won't be able to head home for the holidays, so no stocking this year, but traditionally my brother's and my stockings always had a large plastic candycane filled with hershey's kisses and other chocolatey things, as well as whatever small books would fit in there. One other thing was a 'letter from santa' that my aunt sent to us when we were really little, and every year it went into the stocking, up until I moved out. Actually I think after a while they just never took the letter out and just stored the stocking away letter and all when Christmas was over. Oh and inside the envelope with the letter was also a picture of us sitting on Santa's lap.

What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I haven't had a stocking since my mom died.
His family does them for the kids, but none of the adults bother with them.

I haven't had a stocking for years, do them for my daughter though, mostly put silly stuff in, like a spud gun, sweets, a pot of slime, and some little glow in the dark stickers to stick on her ceiling .

You put a Spud Gun inside a stocking? How big is this stocking?
Many a good time was had with Spud Guns and Beer and Friends.
They be fun.

You can get much smaller ones, Tirith. Hand guns, but for p[otatoes. You stab the spud with them then fire the small piece at something.
Yours is like a potato bazooka.

Ya... bazooka = fun.
Though one day me and my buddies from work all went over to the resort that one of our foriegn coworkers was staying at. And he had built a potato gun the week before.
We brought some nice steaks and were ready for a fun night.
I grabbed the gun, loaded it, filled the end with hairspray, aimed, and fired. But it sounded kinda funny, and we noticed two items go blasting out the end.
We looked at each other confused, and then about 10 seconds later there was this horrid smell. I opened up the cavity at the end and this greenish brown ooze started dripping out all over my hands.
Turns out he had left a potato loaded in the end for a little over a week (the last time we had used it). It had rotted and liquified. The smell was the rotten potato and the ooze was what was left of the potato.
Edit:
Before people jump to conclusions, that person is not me, it's just a random internet image. But the gun is exactly like the one we made.
