Stocking stuffers

I got my kids (both 21+) a bottle of wine this year for their stocking. I will just leave the stockings by the tree when they are filled.

Our stocking never remain hung once filled - I don’t want to take the chance of the stocking hangers falling!

Another fun food related gift - a delicious jar of ice cream topping - like a decadent hot fudge, caramel, etc. Little bottles of Baileys.

I ordered these things from Amazon last night: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BXA8U7K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - for the backpackers

Okay, not a stocking stuffer, but I have to share: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UEW6QM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That iArm thing is hilarious! Would make a great White Elephant gift. :slight_smile:

I’ve already picked up zipper pulls and Darn Tough Socks. Will get gift cards because our 20 yo and 18 yo enjoy shopping for themselves during the post-Xmas sales.

Each kid got a Mophie power bank for their phones before going back to school this year. That’s a useful gift.

If I packed anything in that iArm box but the product on the box, my DH would be disappointed. I think he’d feel the same way about the iDrive, too.

@ChoatieMom I didn’t realize it was just a prank box until your comment. Yeah, I could see people actually using that. :slight_smile:

I bought this face mask trio from Trader Joes. Only $6.99. They do have good stocking stuffers. I also get their bag of dark chocolate peanut butter cups for $1.

Someone once pranked my BIL with a box that was supposedly an in-shower coffee maker. The photos on it were just priceless! Imagine some droopy looking guy with water streaming down his face with a Mr. Coffee in a niche behind him holding a mug of Joe. :-bd

I gave my brother a gift in one of those prank boxes. His reaction was priceless. Inside the box was a cologne set he wanted. It was on clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond. (the prank box $2)

Wow–until this year, I hadn’t heard of “prank boxes.” I often do give folks presents that differ from the box but don’t pay for prank boxes. I’m sure there’s a big profit in making prank boxes tho & probably funny/priceless reactions.

That “Bath & Brew” comes up at the bottom in the “Customers who bought this also bought” section on Amazon–along with the Earwax Candle, Dream Griddle (alarm clock/griddle), NapSack (sack to put over your head while you nap), Hot Lips (heater for your lips), Crib Dribbler (hamster-like water feeder for a crib), and much more!

@raclut --thanks for idea. it’s so funny! my H and sis both love The office and that prank box is so similar to michael and how he grilled his feet. getting it now!

OMG, if I didn’t already have packaging I’d wrap my family foodie gift in one of those prank boxes!

Some of those are hilarious. My DH is adamant that I buy scentless dryer sheets, so I couldn’t resist buying the “Bacon scented dryer sheets” box. LOL, “breakfast fresh scent”!’

There was also one called a “Crib Dribbler.” It’s a “feeding system” for baby that hangs on their crib. They drink out of it like gerbils and their water bottles. Would be hilarious for a baby shower.

I’d probably sleep really will with “bacon scented” sheets…

Oh, my ribs hurt now! I had forgotten that the shower/coffee maker was also a shower head! Someone needs to seriously make one of those. How about a cold drip system for the shower?

Oh yea, we bought some earbuds and 64gb flashdrives 3.0 version. We may also toss in some mini flashlights, as they’re always handy.

Flashdrives, what a good idea. Grad students can always use those.

S goes to school overseas and travels a lot so I bought a charger that adapts to work with outlets in multiple countries.

Went on Athleta website yesterday (big sale) and bought D a tank top for yoga/gym. I can roll it up to put into the stocking.
