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!
Oh, I definitely recommend the sipping stones for whisky drinkers. I love mine that I got last fall. They are awesome and maybe check out the spherical ice molds.
My recent post Review: Smith’s PP1 Pocket Pal – Your New Friend in the Field
We love them too… we just keep buying more and more to have at home! I think we're up to two dozen! I will definitely check out the ice molds as well, thanks :-)
Love it! Though I'm cheap so quite a few of these things would get wrapped as presents rather than getting put in stockings.
ThinkGeek is a great site. Tim is loving his new Dr. Who Tardish throw blanket!
ThinkGeek is awesome. Yes… there's a huge variety up there, from a few cents, to "the sky's the limit" (like watches).
Wow, now that's a list! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks so much for the list! I found it very helpful :) Definitely bookmarking :)
My recent post Winter N.A.C – Christmas Carol or Song
Wonderful! Thanks so much for going to all the trouble of making the pix links. How convenient!!
Love the food! And I was just thinking the other day, I need a purple tomato pin cushion!
Here from Inspire Me Monday.
My recent post Kompliment Kudos
Oh my, these ideas are WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much :) You've given ideas for Birthdays, Easter, Anniversaries…. Absolutely thrilled!
Excellent! I'm so glad to hear how helpful they've been :-)
Thank you so much for these ideas! It really helped!
A suggestion I have is something I saw on the internet and is a fun little useless stocking stuffer for the reciever and the giver.
You need a wine cork and maybe some pins and just some random fabric/plastic/string scraps. You're making an animal or creature of your choosing. The cork is the body of the animal.
I made a poodle by wrapping pink string around the cork. I stuck and pin in the back and front of the cork for the tail and neck. Then I glued a ball on both pins.
After that I glued pink fabric on the head for the hair and ears and pink fabric on the chest of the poodle.
For the legs I glued 4 pink strings on the cork and put pink beads at the end of strings for the paws.
For the muzzle I put an eraser from a mechanical pencil on the head.
As a finishing touch I glued some stuffed animal fuzz on the tail, ears, head, and chest for definition.
I added a string to the whole thing so I could hold it up. If you want a picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/-hd33nRsqp/
