Last minute stocking stuffer help...
Please? Pretty pretty please?
Men + stockings = suck.
My parents are coming out the first week in January. We're filling stockings but not gifts. I'm stuck on what to put in SO and my dad's stockings.
SO: My mom got him an iPhone case, car charger, and chopsticks (she begged me for a list so I finally gave her one for him and she picked those things up. I'm going to get him a wallet, butter fingers, peanut butter m&m's, small flash light, and finger nail clippers. I have no idea what else. Our stockings are pretty big.
My dad: Uhh.... no clue. Not a single one. He's outdoorsy and really low maintenance. He loves to bike ride but buys himself whatever he needs in that arena. I seriously don't know what to get him. I'm planning on getting some sugar babies and gummy bears but other than that I have no idea. Maybe a little flash light and some small pictures of DS.
Any ideas?

Lotto tix!
Magazines?
Travel coffee cup?
Bag of good coffee or tea?
My hubby loves beef jerky.
Biking socks for your dad?
Head lamps? Fashlights?
Small Calendar?
This is what I got for DH and FIL
DH: nose hair trimmer, underwear, computer mouse, xbox video game, wine topper that is also a decanter, Pittsburgh Steelers ornament, itunes gift card, How I meet your mother season 1 (he wants to start watching this series)
FIL: Picture frame with a pic of him and his sons golfing, electric wine bottle opener, book (steve jobs biography), ski socks, and I am making him 2 types of fudge (he is a chocoholic)
You guys gave me some great ideas!
Dad: Tiny bottle of booze, bicycling magazine, jerky, socks
SO: Car magazine, underwear, iTunes gift card, framed pic of us
We have huge stockings to fill for the ILs so here's what we do:
* mints or gum
* lotto scratcher tickets
* stuff fruit in the bottom -- clementines and apples
* cans of nice coffee (Illy) and/or boxes of tea (chamomile is great for illness)
* bandaids -- you can find some fun camo ones at Target with the kids bandaids
* bottles of liquor or wine
* think food -- bags of fun pasta (Ikea has the moose-shaped pasta); jars of favorite kinds of jam; spice rubs and the like from Penzey's or Savory Spice Shop
* different kinds of candy -- Cost Plus is a fun place to grab some imported goods.
* tear-away page a day calendar
* picture frame
* travel WD-40 sizes
* travel lotion and such -- Target has the Gold Bond lotion with sanitizer in it which is an awesome option in the winter
* travel kleenex pouches
