Sticky dots for eyes & other things.
I've included a few different options, if you do lots of crafts some of the bigger packs might be a better buy for you.
It can be good to have slightly larger white circles and then smaller black ones for making eyes but you can just use simple small black dots for eyes too.
You can also use the goggle eyes too!
If you'd rather use stickers than pompoms for Rudolphs nose & stickers rather than jewels & glitter to decorate the trees then a multi-colour pack might be a better buy.

There's also these ones on Amazon:
8 Sheets (704pcs jewels) Rhinestone Sticker Bling Craft Jewels Self adhesive Gems Crystal Multicolor
Glitter
Another that my daughter loves! We don't use it too often or we'd go through tonnes of the stuff but Christmas seems like a lovely exception for a glittery treat.

Card Stock
For the cards you can you standard card stock and fold it yourself or you can buy card blanks which are pre folded.
The best advice I have is if you're going to do footprints/handprints take note of the height of the cards.
A6 cards are 148mm in height
A5 cards are 210mm in height.
