Fun & useful stocking stuffers?

What does everyone like to get in their stockings. I have to do 2 one for my mom because my dad would be truly hopeless at it and one for the Mr. For my mom I usually get things like lip gloss, pens, razors, maybe an ornamet. With the Mr I usually get him about the same lol, except no lip gloss. Any cute different ideas?

Re: Fun & useful stocking stuffers?

  • this year I am getting my husband this hot sauce he loves at firehouse for 5.00, and some beef jerky (he usually loves food in his stocking lol)

  • I'm thinking iTunes gift cards (they come in pretty small denominations), tea candles in funky colors or scents, nail polish, nail file, hair brush, gum or breath strips(you get the idea... The little stuff you forget to buy for yourself), a key chain w/ hubby's favorite sport/team on it, etc. HTH!

  • Does your mom do fun socks, like christmas socks?

    When I was growing up, I used to get candies, simple jewelry, body lotions, candles, etc in my stocking.  I remember my mom used to roll up fun boxers and put them in my brother's stockings, lol.  She had to embarrass my sister and I though and include the obligatory thong or panty, lol.

    LoL, I just asked my husband, "What are small things that guys need?"  His answers: deodorant, condoms, razors and beer.

    I actually think a bottle of wine would be a fun unique thing to put in a stocking. 

     

  • Here's what I get in mine:

    purse size tissues, lip stuff, travel sized anything my  mom can find (which is nice actually because I dont' have to look for it when I'm going somewhere), mascara, trouser socks, tape, one year I got one of those wrapping paper cutter dealies which ROCKS, body spray, gift certificates for the movie theater, lotto tickets, etc.

    I give DH similar stuff but I also always get him a bag of mixed jelly belly jelly beans from the bulk bins at Target.  They're his favorite.  And I usually get him some underwear but I suggest foregoing that for your folks.  *grin* 

  • DH's stocking has candy, razor blades, toothbrushes, scratch-offs, socks, nice pair of gloves, mints, car air fresheners, and a car-detailing GC this year. (If it sounds like I'm dropping some hints about the state of his car with those last two, I am. He agrees though.)
     
    I love getting lip glosses, lotions, candy, pretty note-cards/stationery, my favorite type of pens, small jewelry, cute baking supplies, and lots and lots of chapstick.

    I love PP's suggestions of a bottle of wine or fun scented tea lights too. They would be great in a stocking!
  • I usually get gum, candy, travel size perfumes and lotions, lip gloss.  Sometimes, mom wraps $5 in a tiny box and puts it in there, so that's kind of fun.

    I think it would be fun to put some scratch-off lotto tickets in there for your DH.  Maybe some travel size cologne or body wash or shave cream?

    For your mom, check this site out for socks... http://www.karenneuburger.com/Girls_Heathered_Chenille_Lounge_Socks/pd/np/313/p/1061.html
