Little joys for Christmas morning. With seven stockings to fill, we keep a running list of small things that turn into big moments: a new game for the afternoon, a tiny friend in the toe of the stocking, and pens for the trip journal. The ones marked “We love it” are things we've actually bought and tucked into our own stockings.

A little treat to unwrap Christmas morning and carry on every adventure after.
