Stocking Stuffer Ideas

[tootsie]

I'm going to stuff hubby's stocking with lots of cool stuff. So far, I have a pair of boxers. Candy and chocolate are a must. Hubby really likes kitchen gadgets (he cooks a lot), so I'll probably put some of those in it too.

A couple of years ago, I individually wrapped every little thing in his stocking, yeah crazy I know, but it's fun opening lots of presents! I got the idea from my step-mom.

Any other stocking stuffer ideas, please tell! And, do you stuff the stockings on Christmas or before?

WE do our stockings frist thing christmas morning. I've always grown up and still do now, Stuffers like, tooth brush, candies, socks, Cute little dollar store things, Shaving razors. Simple little things like that.

I always wrap everything in the stockings! We do ours the same time as presents, which in my family is Christmas Eve. I'm struggling for ideas too but I always put in a few scratch-off lotto tickets for everybody. I got a keychain/bottle opener for my brother and some blistex (she likes the lip infusion kind) for my mom and just stuff like that.

My dad always puts oranges in our stockings, so I do the same thing at home, too. Except my husband likes blood oranges so I get those as a special treat. I also do a bunch of candy and little stuff.

Ya know, I have never heard of blood oranges until the other day?! I may have to try to find some.

Anyway; we don't do stockings, but my mom still does for us ... there is usually just candy in there.

My parents-in-law do the orange thing too. I'll add that to my list.

Blood oranges are the best! I know satsumas are also popular orange-like stocking stuffers! We always get a flat of those and plow through them during the holidays.

Does you hubby have good shaving products? These can also make awesome stocking stufers. My man loves L'Occitan Cade After Shave Balm:

I just ordered my husband a bacon chocolate bar from Vosges, which will be going into his stocking if I don't eat it as soon as it hits our door.

Kind of expensive for chocolate but it's a treat and I will be stealing some. :winktongue: And while I was at it I got myself some truffles and mini bars so it's all good. Have been wanting to try this stuff for a while.

My mom always did little things too, and wrapped them individually! Always one of those big apples, nuts, chocolates or some of our favorite candies. She would also throw in like a CD, or DVD (well, VHS at the time!), games, etc.

We always had our stockings filled when St. Nicholas came December 5th and then would wake up on December 6th to have all of our stuff!

[Scrwballsgrl]

My parents always did the stockign thing too. Usually its got candy and the traditional orange weighting down the bottom of the stocking:)
She always puts orange slices(the chewy candies) in there as well. And things like chapsticks or fingernail polishes. Its just neat to see what will be in there on Christmas morning. I'm thinking of when Fh and I get a place doing one for him each year.

Back in the day, oranges were thing THING to get for Christmas. It was something then to get an orange in Michigan. :D
...Just a fun fact you guys reminded me of. lol
