<p>Oh, and see that Mathmom mentioned binder clips - funny cause I just saw these on there…</p>

<p>^ and on sale. cute idea.</p>
<p>Went out and bought the post-it’s and then found a whole bunch of them upstairs.</p>
<p>I think Santa needs to bring me some sort of household inventory system but that’s probably another thread.</p>
<p>FallGirl, I want that system, too!</p>
<p>Me too! I fell for a Burts Bees grab bag, was happy about it until I found the contents of most of another one in my closet!</p>
<p>Haven’t read the entire thread, so sorry if this has been suggested–ear buds! Especially the inexpensive type that one might use for travelling. We intend to drop some in son’s stocking this year because he has been on the move with job and has bought some in airports that I am sure were far more expensive.</p>
<p>All time favorite stocking stuffer in our house – a paper punch. Gave one to S1 when he was about five, the next year I had to give one to S2, the year after that to H. I got one about two years later.</p>
<p>Just wanted to update, Cards Against Humanity is a huge hit! We played Christmas Eve with my adult children and my daughter’s boyfriend. The laughs were endless!</p>
<p>We bought the Guillotine card game and that was also a hit for many ages. D said that Cards Against Humanity is also available as PDFs that you can print out on your own.</p>
<p>Have to report on one stocking stuffer. Most were a big hit. But when H opened the fancy, gourmet mustard he said “Santa must have known we are almost out of mustard.” Geez, I might as well have purchased a squirt bottle of French’s!</p>
<p>It would be good to print out Cards Against Humanity since it’s almost impossible to purchase. It’s sold out everywhere. My kids said that their friends are having Cards Against Humanity parties all the time now!</p>
<p>Maybe my S will bring it to college when he starts as a freshman in the fall. Certainly an ice breaker!</p>
<p>Viewer: When I first went to buy Cards Against Humanity it was sold out, but I just clicked “notify me when available” and they were available a week or so later.</p>
<p>^^^that’s great! Did you get one? I did the same thing and then received a notice that they were out of stock and would not be shipping it to me. Right now they’re being sold on amazon marketplace for 68 dollars- almost three times the regular price.</p>
<p>It was a month or so ago, when I wanted to buy it was out of stock, looked at the over-priced ones on the marketplace but decided to wait, maybe a week or so later I got an email and bought one which arrived a couple days later.</p>
<p>I have 3 sons (23, 19 and 17) and 1 husband - I can never remember who uses which type of razor blades, likes which candy, body wash, etc. This year I made a spreadsheet on google docs and invited all of them (and myself) - they loved filling it in and I could access it on my phone while shopping.</p>
<p>I also made a category of generic toiletries (toothbrush, deodorant), drinks and an “other” category. Also a space for their top 2 choices of small ($5-$10) gift cards. I managed to include a surprise or two that wasn’t on the “list” and were fun - bacon flavored floss, mac & cheese car air freshener, etc.</p>
<p>This was so easy and at least I know I got the specific things they liked.</p>
<p>Popping this thread up in case anyone else (like me) needs some ideas for this year and/or wants to add on here. I do several stockings and try to get a few unique, inexpensive items every year.</p>
<p>It’s fun to read all the clever ideas. But I’ll stick to our traditions… orange (in the toe), gold wrapped chocolate coins, other candy and inexepensive do-dads.</p>
<p>Chocolate orange, make up, iTunes, nail clippers, cards, puzzles, socks, beanie caps, fun dollar bin gifts, and my kids’ favorites, money!</p>
<p>Costco has some lip glosses, Chapstick, and nail polish. There are cute key chains, good socks, power cords for recharging phones (you can get knock-offs for $1-2 apiece on ebay or Amazon), little puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, tea, special coffees, individual-sized liquor, half-bottles of wine, small books, herbs, cooking implements, nice pens, mechanical pencils, gloves, hats, eye-shades for sleeping, ear plugs, are a few off the top of my head. Nuts and trail mix are also a big hit in our family.</p>
<p>I picked up small bottles of Goo Gone in $1 section of Target for my sons (handy when you don’t keep nail polish remover around), small bags of farro, which I’ll wrap with my recipe for Tuscan Farro and Bean Soup, and Tom’s Fennel toothpaste (my personal favorite flavor).</p>
