Always a tangerine and a coin of some sort in the toe, and filled up with small toys. I don't specifically remember sweeties being in there, although there may have been something. The stocking presents weren't wrapped, although they are now. Yes, my mum still gives me a stocking - she insists, I don't!
For the record, it is not full of toys any more. Usually it features toiletries, sweets, cat-related bits and pieces, that kind of thing.
Since this is my first Christmas with Daniel we're starting our own traditions this year. :) I have a bunch of little things wrapped to put in his stocking.
My mom still always wraps up some little stuff (bookmarks, candy, etc) to put in our stockings at her house too. :)
In my family, (on my mom's side) all of the grandchildren (and there's a lot of us!) usually get those little chocolate coins, you know, the ones wrapped in eathier gold or silver foil. We also usually get randome little things in our stockings as well... such a jewelry, bobby pins, little notebooks, and almost always get a calander.:)
Here's a pic of my stockings,you can press the mouse ones paw and it plays xmas music, this one i am keeping to give to my first grandchild, when-ever that will be lol,and you can see nikkita's one with her neon mice in it. And a pic of the advent calendar, hope everyone will post theirs too.:)
Some years we wrap them, some we don't. Lately we've been dropping our gift cards into stockings along with candy. :)
