Christmas Stockings!

It will be our first Christmas as a married couple away from all of our family! We live in Colorado now and they all live in Oregon. I am going to make our stockings and then we set a price limit of 35 dollars each for stocking stuffers! Does anyone have any good ideas for nice useful stocking stuffers for my husband?  I know its a little early to start thinking about Christmas but I want to be prepared!

 Thank you!!!

Re: Christmas Stockings!

  • I love Christmas stockings and think you can find a lot of fun stuff for them for that amount.  What are some of your husband's interests?  I start hitting the dollar bins at Target around this time and pick up fun things from time to time like a slinky, super bouncy ball, etc... just for fun.  
  • Does he have a favorite movie he doesnt own?   

    Razors, gum, cologne, swiss army knife, sunglasses, floss picks, new toothbrush, money clip, lottery scratch offs, boxers, gas card, starbucks gc, car wash gc, booklet of homemade coupons for him to redeem from you, deck of cards, I usually also add a few of his favorite candies (in pretty christmas packaging).

    Ditto what PP mentioned about Target.  Also check out the Dollar Tree as well.  :) 

  • The little airplane bottles of alcohol make great stocking stuffers!
  • His favorite gum / mints / candies...

    We do small chocolates in stockings as well as anything interesting my family picks up from travels during the year - pencils or pens, pretty matchbooks, small tools (Swiss Army knife for hubby?)...get him some new socks...a magazine rolled up like Men's Health or whatever he's into.

    Ditto the little mini bottles of alcohol - those are always fun to put in someone's stocking.

  • I plan on filling my husband?s stocking with football paraphernalia, homemade coupons, hockey items and his favorite candy. I also made his stocking this year so it is huge. He has no idea I can?t wait?

  • I usually get DH a metal puzzle from a game store nearby but they are also online (http://www.puzzlemaster.ca/browse/metal/). They are inexpensive and give him something to do while I'm preparing brunch.

  • I usually get my hubby a "craftsman" themed stocking. Drill bits, drywall saws, mechanics gloves, and a level were all last year.
