For those that do stockings, what do you put in your hubby's? I'm running low on ideas this year. I have new ear buds, a deck of cards, an iTunes card, 2 snack size packs of nuts, and chapstick. I usually get a couple of pair of socks, too. I need something to take up space. Except for the socks, these things are all small.
OMG.......... I'm shoked from you I got my hubby 2 candy bars by cadburry ($1 ea) crunchy muncy snack mix (saw this at the check out at K-mart).. its spicy----this was kind of bulky what about: Special christmas ornament (I got my husband the snoopy next to a grill at Halmark) Sears usually has tool ornaments candy from his child hood........ what did Santa put in his stocking(Boston baked beans, Sno caps, Tootsie Rolls in a bank can<--all usually about $1 wallet Ice scraper for the car gloves
We don't much do stockings anymore, but when we did, I'd put in maybe a special pen, a small bottle of smell-good stuff, new handkerchiefs or bandanas, some candy (like a big peppermint stick or cane sticking out the top, maybe a bag of "gold coins" down in the toe, or a chocolate orange if I could find one, or maybe a bag of m&ms - he loves those), maybe a pack of AA or AAA batteries (never know when you're going to need them for the tv remote control!), even a small hand-held game.
Well, I thought it was a good idea!!! What about a flash drive? (OK, mine is a computer geek, and he NEVER has enough flash drives!)
I got mine one of those "hidden in plain sight" safes from Home Depot. It looks like a can of Dr. Pepper, but you pop the top to reveal a place to hide keys, flash drives, etc.
SOOOO gonna give my hubby a stocking full of stuff this year.. We only give gifts to the kiddos but my hubby works so hard to provide for us that I want to do something for him. Sounds like something fun to do.. Gotta find the perfect stocking now.. going shopping Friday for the rest of our gifts.. Nothing like waiting till the last minute right???:roll:
Here in our house, hubby and I fill stockings full of things that we need through the year anyway and then throw in a few extras. So a new razor/razor blades, shaving cream (I buy the super good stuff for Christmas), toothbrush, after shave, I usually top his stocking with a pouf, I also buy his favorite candy, usually something handmade (this year a pair of lounge pants), and then I do some little fillers like earbuds, flash drives, keychains, etc.
Batteries are always a big hit. His favorite candy,little mag-lites,and um, a little something for me to wear....later. He always loves that!!
New pen, socks lol, tie, jewellery if he wears any, notepad, small multi tool, or other small tools, gift card for coffee, coffee. Thanks for posting the question. It can be tricky to think of new things year after year. Oh other ideas, magazine, back scratcher.
new razor, nice pens, velcro (lowes sells velcro rolls designed to hold cords together- hubby is obsessed with it!), zip ties, favorite candy, flashlights, gift card
I got a wallet, a car phone charger (His new job will require more on-the-road time.), and Lemonheads candy to add to what I already had. I got cupholder organizer for his car, but it won't fit in his stocking. I'll just wrap that one.
Razors, shaving cream, toothpaste, deoderant, after shave, etc. For my DH test strips, needles for his insulin, lancets, etc
That's awesome! I thought my 4.99 one was a good deal. Stockings are my favorite Christmas gifts. I love filling them with surprises. One of my best finds was a retro Whoopee Cushion for ds15. I see lots of Christmas laughs at our house!
