My wife just learned from her mother a great trick that she used to do after the Halloween candy was brought home, counted and put away for daily snacks. She would take 7-10 of their best pieces of candy and put it in a zip-lock bag and put their name on it. At Christmastime she would take the bag out and use it for stocking stuffers. The children were never the wiser and with a large family it helped saved on gifts. Look at it as a candy savings plan!!
Try it and let me know how it works out.
Thanks,
Greg
