I need some suggestions from folks who have been there and done that. Connor (13) will be getting braces the second week in December.
My question has to do with items we put in his Christmas stocking. We always fill his Christmas stocking with consumables.... Typically he'll find a box of pencils, a few bookmarks, a toothbrush, a bottle of pop, nuts, beef jerkey, dried fruit, and gum.
I'm wondering what we can do for the pop and food items with the braces. I know he can't have the gum but what about the other stuff? Suggestions for alternative items?
Dh is against putting any real gifts or gift cards in the stockings.
I appreciate the help and suggestions.

Nothing chewy/hard so no nuts, no dried fruit, no jerky.

is always good.You may also want to stay away from stickey things like tafey and such.Good luck it is kind of a pain but so worth it.Samantha has such pretty teeth now.

I typically put novelty bottles of shampoo/bodywash/bubble bath (those in batman bottles, etc). I also toss in a battery powered toothbrush. I'd ditch the dried fruit and jerky, go for the pop. Right now there are tons of small holiday treats out so perhaps you can check those out. My 15 yr old son actually LOVES the meat logs and cheese w/mustard from Hickory Farms so he'll find a collection of those this year instead of the batman bottles! :)

The pop would be okay, epsecially if it was diet (sugar free) . Potato chips are okay as long as they not as the pp said Doritos, Fritos etc.
