Can I have a few recommendations for last minute stocking stuffers for H? I think I have enough for C and SS, but so far I only have a pack of Burt's Bees lip balm and a can coozie for H. I'm bringing home some gum and candy samples from work, but that would still be a pretty light stocking. I have a nail polish for myself (and H didn't think to buy stocking stuff when he was out shopping yesterday).
Paying attention because DH and I fill one another's stockings and I haven't gotten a single thing for his yet. Stopping at Walgreens after school but before picking DD up from daycare today.
my H loves lottery tickets at Christmas and Christmas only so I buy a ton. Mini bottles of alcohol. I buy mine a new pocket knife (not that your H probably uses one day to day...lol). bar of soap, new toothbrush, toothpaste. H loves those little wooden puzzles that are everywhere this time of year (like the mind teaser adult ones). Candy and more candy new socks
Batteries, a flashlight or head lamp, scratch off lotto tickets, candy or snacks, k-cups or other hot drink mix (hot cocoa, cider mix, Starbucks Via packs), small denomination gift cards (iTunes, Starbucks, Chipotle, etc).
I have his favorite wing sauce from BW3 and an interesting BBQ sauce I saw at a Farmer's Market. I also have beer flavored jelly beans and I'll probably add some chocolates.

Actually, he is NEVER without his damn Leatherman knife. We once went to a concert and it was in his pocket. They made him throw it away before going into the venue. As soon as we got to our seats, he had me go on Amazon and order him a replacement. lol
H is getting chapstick and a little beard trimmer thing that he uses for his sideburns and eyebrows. He was going to get a box of truffles too but he pitched a fit when I got home from running errands Saturday because he was hangry and I didn't get him anything at WF. So I gave him the truffles then to shut him up.
There was a great post about this on ML a couple of days ago - tons of things I would never think of. This year I did: candy (some good stuff plus a Reese's snowman), a bar of fancy soap, a Sharpie pen, a bookmark, Jack Black lip balm, some dental floss picks, and a couple of little toy things that are really for playing with DS.

I love the idea of the little mind teaser things!
Haha. Mine uses his all the time in the barnyard so they go dull really quick or they get lost or he lets exchange student borrow them and they're gone forever. I found a great sale on same last Christmas at Fleet Farm (Hahaha) and threw like 4 in his stocking.
He likes mind teaser puzzles because apparently bending little metal rings back together or figuring out how 30 wood octagons and triangles fit together is super relaxing to him. He plays with them at night when the kids are asleep. Me? I try and then want to throw the damn thing against the wall. Guess who has the patience in this relationship
My H's stocking is super weird but I think he'll like it. He's getting:
Two scented candles A wick trimmer Condoms Foaming hand soap Reese's trees Ommegang Game of Thrones Valar Morghulis dubbel ale Wasabi and soy sauce almonds Scratch-off lottery tickets Pound of Starbucks coffee Touch-screen gloves
Candy beer singles if your stores carry them chapstick -- I always lose this/forget to buy it and really need it If you use condoms for BC you could put a few in? lol Gamestop sells cards with Xbox Live or Playstation Store points.
We did a lot of our stocking stuffer shopping together at the Scandinavian speciality store (North Seattle had a large Scandinavian population for a long time) -- if there's some ethnic/cultural store in your area that sells random candy etc. that's a good place to find stuff.

Obviously for the PP phase since we still haven't talked about BC options yet, LOL.
DH is getting fancy beard oil, a beard and mustache comb, new North Face gloves, Reese's trees, Reese's Pieces, gum, a google play card, and a digital tire pressure gauge that he asked for.

I had to Google what a meat rake was. That is awesome!

For some reason Amazon suggested it one day. I didn't even know they existed (and I hope DH doesn't either). For family gatherings he always makes pulled pork, so I think he'll love them!
