Stocking-Stuffers for All

Sometimes you just need a token gift or something small to fill the stocking.  Listed below are a few things for everyone in varying price ranges.  For those who are on a tighter budget, I highly recommend a trip to Daiso, if you have one near you, or the Dollar Store, because you never know what you'll find.

1.  On-the-Go Gamepad, $8.99

 Do you know anyone who is going away on holiday?  This gamepad comes with 5 games to choose from, so  your traveling recipients will never be bored.  Great for long flights and rest-stops during road trips, the gamepad takes up hardly any space, and will keep everyone entertained.

2.  Clear Glass Fox Salt & Pepper Shakers, $12.99/set

A fun, cute, and sophisticated stocking stuffer/housewarming gift is this fox salt/pepper shaker set.  They don't come filled (yes, I realize that should be a given, but you never know), so you could always throw in a small jar of your favorite salt & pepper for the recipient.  

3.  Cat Timer, $5.99

What cat person wouldn't want to have this cat timer in his/her kitchen?  It's adorable, and the bottom bit looks like a oversized collar.  Functional, cute, and doesn't take up that much space, this timer is the perfect addition to any cat person's home. 

4.  Desktop Basketball Set, $7.99

I firmly believe in having a strong work ethic.  Sometimes, you just need to take a little break, and what better way than a game of basketball?  Desktop basketball, that is!  This set comes with two ball, two launchers, and a hoop.  Desktop games are great for adults and kids.  Create challenges, play by yourself or with others, and add make your day a little less stressful.

5.  Rau Hot Chocolate Spoons, $8.97/set of 3

If you are looking for something a little different, these drinking chocolate spoons are a great addition to any stocking.  Each set comes with the following flavors:  Orange Caramel (white/milk), Strawberry + Chili (white/dark), and Dark with Amaretto Cookie.  Eat the chocolate right off the spoon or stir it into a hot beverage.  The choices are endless.     

6.  Men's Striped Dopp Kit, $12.99

The title may say it's for men, but this bag is a great product for any traveler.  Whether jet-setting or
heading off to the gym, this dopp kit will hold the recipient's travel toiletries and other necessities.  This product is a World Market exculsive.

7.  Noshkins Felt Food, $5.00 & up

Do you have a little one who loves to pretend s/he is a chef?  These felt food creations are a great addition to anyone's playtime.  There are so many individual items and sets to choose from, such as: cakes, vegetables, sandwiches, pizza, etc.  Recently, I purchased the sushi and banana (what a combination!) for my nephew.  He loves to pretend he's a chef.  With these, he can take them apart and put them together, without the hassle of having them break, tear, fall apart.  They are also non-toxic.  The petit fours and other dessert items are cute to display, especially if you have pedestal plates that are not being used.  They are great for parties and stocking-stuffers!   

8.  Viktor & Rolf:  Spice Bomb Fresh Fragrance, $98.00

Apparently Viktor & Rolf's fragrances are quite popular.  Personally, I don't know how this one smells, alone or on a person, but I LOVE the packaging.  The little frosted grenade is just adorable.  You will also get deluxe samples of the after-shave balm and eau de toilette, while supplies last.  And what is really awesome is the gift with purchase promotion happening at Nordstrom.com, again, while supplies last.  If you spend $100 on men's grooming/fragrance, you also get a dopp kit filled with samples (automatically added at checkout).

9.  Death Star Ice Sphere Mold, $11.99

How fun is his ice mold?!  You may only get one, but there are so many ways to use it.  Ice, Jell-O, fruit, soap (yes, soap!), chocolate...the list goes on.  The mold has a 2.4" diameter, which makes it the perfect size for whatever you are molding.     

10.  Glow-in-the-Dark Play-Doh, $3.49 (currently on sale)

This Target-exclusive Play-Doh is a fun way to channel any recipient's creativity.  It glows in the dark, and looks wonderful under a black light.  What kid wouldn't want to build a castle, cake, or plate of spaghetti & meatballs that glows?
