Costco has 6 eos lip balms for $10 and 5 Crabtree and evelyn mini hand creams. 5 for about $12.
I was at Hallmark today getting some cards and saw this with Nana on it. Got it for D’s stocking since she was very close to her Nana. They also have numerous names, so if you like Snoopy here’s your chance:
fake lottery tickets?

@cgpm59 , I have NOT tried the Zoodle but a friend recommended it. I know there are lots of this type of item out there maybe someone else can chime in who has used the Zoodle.
Just bought D an eye mask that can be cooled or heated. It was only $5 at Ross.
I have a spiralizer - not that model, mine was a bit more $$$ - and I do indeed spiralize harder things like sweet potatoes and beets, as well as zucchini and cucumber. It’s a bit more work to push through, but doable.

"I ran across this iPhone lanyard holder by Gear Beast and I’m wondering if my girls, 19 & 21, would think it’s a cool stocking stuffer or “This is so lame, Mom”.
Thank you Midwest67 for the link. I ordered one for myself–it is perfect for holding my iPhone at the gym. I had been looking for something like this but for some reason was unable to find it. I appreciate you posting it!
Adding another one. It’s very geeky, but my son and I like to race each other doing Sudoku puzzles. So often “Santa” will put matching books in his stocking and mine.
@Nrdsb4 Smartwool has XL socks. So does L.L. Bean.
We also do chocolate oranges every year in the toe of DS’s stocking, usually dark chocolate ones from Trader Joe’s which are less expensive than Terry’s. For some reason, DD does not like the taste of chocolate and orange together, so she always gets a tangerine in the toe of her stocking plus some good quality dark chocolate. Other things we usually include are gift cards, small games, puzzle books like Pocket Posh (DD loves their logic puzzles), miniature Lego Sets for DS, and other random small things that catch my eye when I’m shopping. Plus some candy, though not as much as when they were younger.
Got the makeup mirror. I thought it was nice. About iPhone plus size. Uses one of those flat batteries and came with 2 extra. One side magnifies and the other has the lights and is a normal mirror.
I need stocking stuffer ideas for my dad (he’s 69)-something other than socks which I get him every year. Any suggestions?
Tile/TrackR for his keys.
Small bag/container of good coffee or tea
Personalized golf balls if he plays
Truffle salt (great on steak)
Wallet sized photos of the grandkids
@Emsmom1 Small tea breads, honey, jellies, mustard, cheeses
One year I made a small pocket sized photo album of the grandkids. Easy to pull out and show off those grandkids
Also an appointment calendar, maybe a personalized coffee shop GC
@Emsmom1 Favorite snacks/candy? A good bottle of wine or favorite booze (that’ll take up some room 
)? If he’s into grilling, some rubs and seasoning blends and mixes. A magazine he might enjoy - buy the latest issue to roll up into his stocking and include a note about a subscription. Magazine subscriptions are pretty cheap these days and it’ll take up some room.
Thanks everyone-very helpful suggestions!
@Emsmom1 Is there any tech gift your dad might really appreciate, but not be aware of? I’ll confess I had not known about power banks (for iPhones). Really! No. clue. So when I found out about them (probably my kids told me, Duh Mom) and got one about 2 years ago, I was giddy. It solved a lot of problems for me.
@Midwest67 Do you (or any other posters) have a specific recommendation of what power bank to get for an iphone?
