I try to get my kids some fun things and some clothes to put under their tree.  When it comes to their stockings, I like to do treats and some practical things.  Things like holiday candies and socks area always good.  One practical stocking stuffer idea that moms of little ones will certainly appreciate are My Hikes Fasteners.  Adjust the length of growing kids pants without pins or sewing in a cute way.

I have a 4 yr old son and an 8 month old daughter I use My Hikes with.  These have been great.  When the kids transition from one size too the next, sometimes the pants are just too long.  They end up stepping all over the bottom of their pant legs and ruining them.  Before I knew about My Hikes with my older boys I’d have to sew the hems up that took some time and dragging out my sewing machine.  My hikes are simple to use plastic clips.  Before I ever tried them I had to wonder if they would really stay in place.  I figured they’d pop open after the kids had them on an hour and we’d lose the set within a day.  That was 2 years ago when I got my first set to try with my son (who was about 2 years old then, we still have the same set.  My 4 yr old son is transition from size 4 to size 5 clothes.  The fives have a little more length on them so I use his bullodozer set on him.  My daughter is only 8 months but is 90th percentile for her length.  We’re already transitioning her into 12 month baby clothes because a lot of her 6-9 month clothes are getting too short.  I put a pair of 12 month baby jeans on her and used the My Hikes.  Even through her crawling all over the floor all day they are still in place.

My daughter received the cute butterfly design.  When I have these on my kids at least one person always asks about them.  My son wore his to pre-school and he said “all the kids were looking at them, they wanted to see them”.  Another think I like about these is it can extend your girl’s wardrobe.  How?  You can use them to turn her pants into capris for the spring time.  These really pay for themselves in keeping pants hems from fraying and extending wardrobes.

Here’s a video from My Hikes to give you more reasons and uses:

Couponing has becoming pretty popular.  There are entire tv shows, blogs, websites, and classes dedicated just to couponing.  Maybe you know someone who is an avid couponer.  Perhaps you’ve been interested in couponing and want the right tools to get started.  I started couponing seriously about 2 years ago.  I still don’t do it to the extent of the extreme couponers but I use coupons as much as possible.  After taking an online coupon class and reading a coupon book, I decided it was time to make up my coupon binder.  I used what I had and purchased some coupon pockets.  You can see my binder has received some love.

I kept thinking I needed a better binder but the frugalista I am, I kept putting it off thinking, it’s good enough.  Then I came across the coupon organizers that are offered by UltraPro. They are much sturdier than my put together binder and come with the clear coupon pocket pages.  They also have several different sizes depending on what you want it for.  They come in different designs too so you can find one that fits your style.  There are smaller ones you can stuff into a purse and large ones for the avid couponer.

Besides the fact that it was sturdy and more stylish than my old coupon binder, the large 3 ring one came with 40 coupon pocket sheets with different size pockets.

• Organizer includes 40 total pages with 235 pockets:
10 each – 9 pocket pages (pocket size – 2 ½” x 3 ½”)
10 each – 8 pocket pages (pocket size – 3 ⅞” x 2 ¾”)
10 each – 3 pocket pages (pocket size – 7 ⅞” x 3 ⅝”)
5 each – 6 pocket pages (pocket size – 2 ½” x 5 ¼”)
5 each – 1 pocket pages (pocket size – 8 ½” x 11”)

This one expands and can hold up to 80 pages!

The small one (that can fit in a purse) comes with sheets with a total of 180 pockets to use.  The 4 pocket coupon organizer portfolio comes with 20 clear coupon pocket sheets.

All of them have pockets on the inside of the front and back of the binder and comes with a coupon terminology sheets so you can learn the coupon lingo and abbreviations which I found especially handy.  As a couponer myself the only things missing when you buy these would be tabbed page dividers which you’ll want to divide your coupons up into sections.  Tabbed dividers are usually pretty cheap and you can divide your coupon sections up however you want.  For me I have sections like: Dairy, Baby, cleaning supplies, etc.  I also keep a zipper pouch for 3 ring binders in mine that I keep grocery lists, scissors, and pens in. Still the larges one is only $19.99, the smaller 4  pocket organizer is only $6.99, and medium size 9 pocket organizer is only $10.99
