What do you think?

Okay, here's the thing. I have two sisters with kids. Between them, they have 5 kids. I have 3 of my own, and I know I'm not going to have a lot of money to spend on my nieces and nephews for Christmas. But I want to do something nice for them. I want to make it a tradition that I make/buy them all the same thing each year, but personal. I am thinking about doing stockings with their names on them this year. I am thinking this because the youngest one is my nephew who is only about 6 months old. I had considered making them all matching pajamas, but I don't want him to outgrow them super fast, so I will wait for things like that for about two more years I think.

I am okay with a sewing machine, but I don't have a ton of time to spend on each item. I am looking to spend about $5-7 each.

My questions are:

What else could I make for them that wouldn't be too hard to do or too expensive?

OR- what would be a good way to do their stockings? I am thinking about buying them each a nice plush stocking and then adding their names somehow, but how??

Any thoughts???

You could cut their names out of felt...get a stencil with cute letters and then attach them to the front of the stockings with fabric glue or sew them?
