I remember those days, too. Yep - we had one of our socks hanging somewhere. We didn't always have a mantle. M&D would put fruit in them, too. Those were the days, my friend. We didn't realize how much fun we had, nor the problems we were having, until we became adults.
We fill plastic shoe boxes (some are furnished card board ones), with little dollar items or whatever will fit in the box. Right now some of us at church have started on pillow case dresses, bibs for another group, etc. Not all these little dresses are done by pillow cases - some are made from scratch from material that we have in our "stash". These boxes are shipped then by another organization to the needy children in various countries. It makes you feel really good that we can contribute things like that.
