Stocking stuffers for kids

DVDs and Blu-ray discs

Kids love movies and some of the best films for little ones come from Disney. Some of our favorites this year include Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 2 with 12 short films in a Blu-ray combo pack. Another Disney movie your kids will love is the No. 1 animated film of the year — Brave . Cinderella, Finding Nemo and Secret of the Wings are also all fabulous choices on DVD or Blu-ray discs.

CDs and MP3s

CDs by your kids' favorite artists make great stocking stuffers. Also consider CDs of Christmas music. Award-winning children’s recording artist Laurie Berkner recently released her first-ever Christmas album, A Laurie Berkner Christmas . The album features 15 traditional holiday and seasonal songs including three original tracks. If you can't figure out what music your kids would like, a gift card from Amazon or Best Buy may be the answer.

Stuffed animals

You can't go wrong with stuffed animals. The Pajanimals new toy line from TOMY includes plush stuffies, a DVD and much more. For your little ones, we adore the Plush Puppy Apollo and other stuffed animals. Jim Henson's Pajanimals airs daily on the 24-hour preschool television channel Sprout and on the new Saturday morning NBC Kids block.

Gadget accessories

For teens, consider practical yet cool items like the GoSmart Stylus . This is the smoothest, most precise stylus available for iPads, smartphones and other devices. It's perfect for clicking and writing, as well as drawing, sketching, painting and more. This stylus works well on any touchscreen device, even if it has a sticky protective cover.
