This was always my favortie part, but with 20 yos, it is getting difficult!

For J...does he collect any kind of trading cards? Does he burn CDs...but some of those in there. A movie ticket?

Mr. K always does Lottery tickets.

Good luck!

first you stuff the bottom of the stocking with oranges and nuts. then candy bars and large bags of m&ms.

toothbrush
favorite body wash, etc
goofy little toy thingys
DVD of Elf - the movie
sports illustrated or favorite mag
candy canes

top it off with a cute little stuffed animal with a red ribbon

good luck.

it's the goofy little toy thingys that you have to look for - a complete waste of time and money, but...

Wow, thanks so much. I knew I could count on my buddies. Great ideas and I never would have thought of the liquor. I could get some of those little minis and put in there!!!! You're right Miss Kitty.....Liquor is quicker. ;-)

Just don't mix up the stockings.

"Mom- Santa put a bottle of bourbon in my stocking.":shock:

I KNOW....I was thinking the same thing. I sure don't need to be "indulging" while I am stuffing the stockings. :blink:

Kathy, Target has aisles of stocking stuffers for everyone. :wave:
even CVS, wlagreens etc. has little candy stocking stuffers and colognes and such.

Socks, socks and socks are big. MANgo still talks about the ones I get him.:lol:

I can't believe Toots forgot about socks.

I love stocking stuffers but Miss Kitty is right, it does get harder the older they get. Yep, socks are going into Tyler's stocking as well. Sports Illustrated desk calendar, candy, Crest toothbrush that spins, DENTAL FLOSS, (trying to give him a gentle reminder), CD.

Mr. dbuck is getting candy and Crest white strips. :lol:

Tootsie and dbuck, are you related to my parents? What's up with the toothbrush stocking stuffers? Maybe you should also consider stuffing some oranges into the stockings, too. My parents did. We also had some funn stuff do, but the oranges were great filler.

Scratch and (maybe) Win lottery tickets could be a funn stuffer, but they don't take up much room. If your dog is tempted by food, be careful about putting chocolates in the stockings. If I did that, I would have one sick dog on Christmas morning, and I would need to make new stockings for next year.

Stocking stuffers are so funn! Girls are a lot easier b/c you can do make up, perfume, jewelry..Sam has lots of little presents like that and her stocking is smaller than Dylan's.

At CVS I found these little champagne bottles made of chocolate...so cute...Santa's coal gum, pez, & life saver gummy candy books. When I was little we always used to get Lifesaver books...loved those. My mom always added fruit to fill up our stockings too Toots and I always get them new toothbrushes!

More ideas for boys/men...video games, gift cards, memory cards, cologne or aftershave, lotion, shave cream, fast food gc, gas card, ??

Good luck KD!!!

SJ: I did say oranges. and nuts. my mom did this much to our dismay. so now I do it too...

Mangy - SOCKS! of course! everyone needs a new pair of socks to wear on New Years Day for good luck!

That's funny. :clap:I guess I skipped that part and went straight to reading the list. Sometimes we would get two or three smaller oranges, and some years we would get a phat@ss orange which was difficult to remove.

I like the idea of socks as stocking stuffers, but I don't wear them often enough to get a new pair.

I'm probably too late, but I put candy in all the kids' stockings, and my 14-year-old boy is getting an iTunes card in there and some Axe spray (I chose the scent based on the design and colors on the bottle, of course). I bought great stocking stuffer candy at Walgreen's; our Target was cleaned out ages ago.

Talking about Christmas stockings ....... Mr. dbuck once asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him if it will fit inside the Christmas stocking then I would probably like it. Sometimes we girls do like what comes in a "small box." :lol: ............ Sorry Skunky, couldn't help but think of you. :floor:

we got either oranges or apples in our stockings, but my brother ALWAYS (and usually still does) got a can of refried beans. he hates them. my mother thinks she is hilarious and that the joke never gets old.

We always got mixed nuts, an orange, candy canes, handwarmers, chapstick, and a variety of tiny presents like ornaments, magazine subscriptions, jewelry, mini puzzles or handheld travel games in our stockings.

I live in conservative Alabama SJ, we don't have a lottery. :bang: And I sure wasn't driving to TN or GA to get them. All is well though. Stockings are stuffed. I did forget the oranges though. :bang:

I loved those Lifesave books!! Do they still make them. Thank you OL for all the great suggestions.

Dont' forget the flip flops!!!!!! :D

I bought me the cutest Flip Flop air freshener for my van today!!! It made me think of SoWal. :wub:

Guess what Percy.....I got an iTunes card, Axe Spray, and candy from Walgreens...all before I even read this. Great minds think alike. I did base the Axe on the color of the can.

Thank you ALL for your suggestions. The two men in my house are going to have fresh breath if nothing else....toothbrushes, Listerine strips, Breath spray, flossers, after they eat all the candy these are going to come in handy!!!! I hope they don't think I am trying to tell them something. :D

Merry, Merry Christmas to each and all of you. Much love from 'BAMA!!!!!:wub:

Stockings are another funny memory from my house. My mother was really inconsistent about filling them, so we didn't really bother to look in them. Sometimes she would start to take down decorations in January and realize that she had filled them and no one had noticed...:lol:

I love my family!

For the grown up that is......

And don't think those chocolate miniature liqueurs are harmless! I ate nearly a whole box along with a bottle (or two) of cabernet several years ago and was sick as a dog new years day:funn:

:confused: I'm not sure if this post is supposed to be a reference to diamonds, or that Justin Timberlake song about Richard in a box.
