Stocking Stuffer Idea List

[mrsemilys]

I need to buy stocking stuffers for my dad, DH's mom, dad, and step mom plus DH and the kids.

Any good ideas you have given or received in the past?

Bonus if you PIP, it's around $5 and you can link it!

MIL got gave us a small adjustable screw driver set kinda like this and we use it ALL THE TIME!

A small Leatherman type thing is good to keep in the car:

Nail kit that I LOVE:

That's what I can think of now.  I like nail polish and nice chapstick too for ladies.  Kids....I'm hoping I run across a few small items

We got something like this a few years ago from DH's grandpa and it's come in handy: www.amazon.com/Forever-LED-Flashlight-Emergency-Light/dp/B00CPRRLAI/ref=sr_1_17?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1416948821&sr=1-17&keywords=hand+crank+flashlight

ETA;  we got this last year and we've used it far more than the full size screwdrivers:  www.amazon.com/Stanley-66-358-Ratcheting-MultiBit-Screwdriver/dp/B003HGH3YK/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1416948952&sr=1-3&keywords=all+in+one+screwdriver

I just ordered (for pick up) some of these 7-in-1 multi tools from Lowes. I think the price is supposed to be $1.40, not $.14, but either way it is a good price.

I go to world market/target and wander around - our stockings are traditionally full of ridiculousness and food.  World Market's "mini" foods and international foods in the back of the store are ALWAYS the best place to find a bunch of random stuff - mini coffees, etc.  This year's haul so far:

For my parents (there's also some bigger "small" stuff that likely won't fit in the stockings):


For R & I (I thought I was done, but I can see that I need to do more - it's unfortunate, I usually fill our stockings with mini bottles of alcohol and I can't do that this year, so I'm struggling):

For the women, purse hooks, compact mirrors,

For the guys, bendable flashlights, bottle openers,

For all, altoids, burt's bees, warm socks, lottery tickets

[littlemisssunshine]

I've done packets of herb or flower seeds, Christmas ornaments, nail polish, hair clips, costume jewelry, clutches, socks, golf balls, little tools from Lowes, candy, a good paring knife/vegetable peeler, $5 gift cards to fast food places, cute office supplies (paper clips, staples etc) sewing kits.

I think Santa needs to leave some special stockings with special bottles in a super secret location...like your bedroom.


I love to go to World Market for stocking stuffers.   I like to go to the grocery store too.  We do a lot of 'local foods' and favorite food kind of stuff.  I always buy hot sauce for my son in law....the hotter the better.  So far I have managed to find hotter sauces than he has, so he thinks I am Santa is amazing. ;p

Some things I've done are $5 Starbucks GCs, nail polish, a box of favorite tea, movie tickets (bought original from Costco) , some little beauty gifts I picked up from Sephora/Ulta on Black Friday, little flashlights, various GCs, new luggage tags, packages of local soup mixes

Scratch off lottery tickets is usually universal
