Stocking stuffer ideas for 2017?

My D2 and I both love our frothers. They do need batteries if they want to froth up some cocoa or a coffee drink on Christmas Day. :wink:

@Gourmetmom - thanks for the hand warner rec!

Got these cute socks:

@BunsenBurner, I just ordered those for D2. Would have gotten them for D1, but I think D1 wears size 9-10 shoes, soI don’t think they would fit her.

@BunsenBurner Oh great. Now I have to order those socks for DS1’s GF. That’s cuteness overload. :wink:

Is there a puppy version of the socks? :slight_smile: Serious!

Puppy socks are perfect for my younger son’s girlfriend. She wants a puppy so badly, but she travels for research every summer.

If you are looking for fun sock prints but more conventional fit and good quality check out Sock Drawer. I’ve used them in the past to order socks that fit family members’ interests/hobbies.

I was thinking if I acted fast (today) I could send a pack of puppy socks to my D2 and her roommates who are in the middle of exam week. Just a little pick me up. :slight_smile:

A friend was talking about this kitchen tool today - I thought it would make a good stocking stuffer for at least one of my 20-somethings - a Zoodle spiralizer:

For my daughter I put in a couple pairs of socks, a bath bomb, some facials and things from Sephora and some chocolate. I even found car coasters for the drink holders in her car and hair bands.

For my son he is allergic to soy and msg and I am putting in some seasoning he can use safely, a magnet to hold his cell phone in his car, a bottle of truffle oil, some chocolates.

Oh, great. We’re not even DOING stocking stuffers this year, and I’m buying those socks for my daughter and niece!

Every year since they’ve turned 8, my pups have gotten a package of firecrackers in their stockings - which they’ve been instructed to hold off until New Year’s Eve. This was a concession I made to DH and his family tradition - he and his brothers all got them every year - I just insisted that DD not be left out of the fun.

Since the pups got older, the thing they appreciate most in the stocking is gift cards to CVS.

This year, I think I will give them each a bottle of pure vanilla extract.

We are the opposite! We only do stocking stuffers! :slight_smile:

@BunsenBurner - Thanks for the sock tip. I like that the size starts at 5 instead of 6. I’ve got some small footed people, and the one-size-fits-most, really doesn’t work. I just added four items to my Amazon cart from this thread!

I’ll add these knives - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067VLYMY/ref=crt_ewc_title_huc_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER rated high from Cooks Illustrated, but not really that expensive as far as good knives go. And for kitcheny stuff - this is my very favorite vegetable peeler - https://www.amazon.com/Zyliss-COMINHKPR89578-Soft-Skin-Peeler/dp/B00YXEWNS6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512595366&sr=8-2&keywords=soft+fruit+vegetable+peeler.%2C+zyliss

@veruca thanks for that…it reminded me D will need electric outlet adapter for next semester…

I just picked up some aveeno moisturizer, travel size for stockings. It will be good for travel and I got them at a special reduced price—$7.50 for 3 tubes instead of $4.99 apiece. Not as cheap as the vanilla but I will take it.

Just picked up thermal neck warmers that can be pulled up over mouth and nose. Looks perfect for those cold walks across campus.

Love this tiny little sound machine although it’s a bit expensive for a stocking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LBVLAFK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Somebody stop me!
