Also, many thanks to the link up hosts for allowing me to participate!
What are your reasonably priced stocking stuffer ideas? Let’s grow this list!
Wow.
ShamWow's on the list already
How about the Schticky?
Seriously though nice list. There's something on there for everyone great job Anne.
Thanks! Haha, I'll add it
Like, like, like, love, love, love THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
*giganticgrinfromeartoear* Thanks!!!!
Holy Sweet Jesus Anne. That is one hell of a list. I especially love sea monkey and that you stressed GOOD tweezers, no one like crappy tweezers! I scanned pretty quickly, did you add fruit? Like an orange or something alike? Mom use to put a pomegranate in ours but oranges are quite traditional. We always got a magazine, lotto tickets, some candy and gift cards for local theaters/restuants (subway/Timmy's/Starbucks sort of thing).
Ohhh, pomegrante is awesome! Oranges are up there somewhere, in both Mandarin and Chocolate forms
I got mad one day at my tweezers and bought the most expensive ones at the store ($15 where I was). They are much, much, better. Glad you noticed the sea monkeys, haha.
MY GOODNESS — thanks for adding #311.
Thank YOU! I went back and added the coin after you mentioned it
great — that's the IMPORTANT part
Amazing list. Very glad to see eyeglass cleaning kit on there. I don't know what I could add other than gifts for the puppies and kitties, collars, treats, catnip, etc.
We seem to have the cleaning kits sprinkled around everywhere, so more would probably be good! More for animals is a good idea, I'll add them now.
Excellent list! That couldn't have been easy to put together. The flip flops caught my attention. Never would have thought of that!
Thanks!
Flip flops are generally affordable and they fill a stocking up pretty quickly! It was kind of a long musing.. once I got going it was moderately quick, actually. I mean to go back and add more images, too.
Anne this list is amazing! Thanks for doing this
Thanks for the compliment
Crikey that's a long list but pretty awesome ideas ! You think you can come up with a gag gift list too? We need to buy gag gifts.. lol.. Cheers Mr.CBB
YES! That's Friday's post actually
Thnx for tweeting, too!
Holy Christmas…that's the longest list I've ever seen! If you can't find something on there to buy your friends/fiance/wife/husband/children then you have issues. lol.
Hahaha, yes, it's pretty all-encompassing!

WOW that is a great list! You have stuff listed I never thought of as stocking suffers before. Thanks so much for sharing on We Made That
Thanks for stopping by and for hosting!
if I was ever served a square egg, I would NEVER eat it!
Whiskey stones are a big thing this year it seems. They sell them at Chapters!
But they seem sooo ridiculous! I've always wanted to see one of those square watermelons too.
I got some for my spouse last year and apparently we need more because they're so awesome (for guests).
PS – I HATE scotch. Five minutes ago I had the bottle waved in front of my nose because I hate it so much and my spouse thinks it's funny.
Great Great Ideas! Thanks for the wonderful lists! Also for hooking up at the No Rules Christmas Party!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I see a surprising lack of bacon related gifts?
Ah, yes. That would be my personal aversion to the stuff showing through! I will add a couple up there
I am shocked! Bacon is a divine gift from the Gods. Handed down from Hercules himself!
