By the time this is posted, there are only 11 sleeps until Christmas! And if your Santa is the same as our Santa, the major purchases are some of the first. Leaving the elves to scramble in the last several days to stuff the stockings. If your elves (or Santa) need a little help this holiday season, we’re happy to offer up a few ideas. So without further ado, let us present our favorite Hatchlings & Hens stocking stuffers for 2018…
It goes without saying that a Hatchlings & Hens gift certificate makes an excellent stocking stuffer! Perfect for young or old, it can be used in our craft studio, in our retail shop, or to pay for registration for one of our classes. Available in any amount!
I simply adore these mini church puzzles! They’re made from six cubes and each side of the cube has a different scene, so there’s 6 puzzles in one set. I gifted one to each of my boys last year, and this year’s version includes different scenes in the same great vintage feel. So great for keeping little fingers busy during longer holiday church services or car rides! $7 each
Keeping with the “littles” theme – these handmade soaps are a no brainer. Made in Clive, Iowa, they each contain a surprise inside the soap, encouraging kiddos to keep up with their hand-washing until the toy is released. $5-$7 each
