One good way to really feel the Christmas season is to hang your own Christmas stocking somewhere around your fireplace, sit back and wait for it to magically be stuffed by Christmas morning! My grandkids have already hanged theirs and were non-too-subtly dropping hints on what they want in their stockings. That toothless kid who was screaming her head off last Christmas begging the dentist to open shop on Christmas night is still asking for chocolate candies for hers. Lol.
Going forward, here’s my suggestion for Christmas stocking stuffers, coming from a pro like me!
For the gents:
· Ticket to a sport event. You can never go wrong with this. Just pick a sport he likes best then go choose a date when his team would play and you’re done!
· Accessories to his gadgets. Save the gadget for gifts, for Christmas stocking stuffers, go for its accessories. If you don’t have any idea, Ebay and Amazon are good places to start with.
· Slippers. This should be your last resort.
· Pen with his name engraved. I know that engraved things are not anymore “in” but it’s nice to once in a while, be reminded that you own something even as simple as a pen.
For the ladies:
· Spa certificates. Ladies absolutely love getting pampered and since treatments should be personalized, certificates would be the next best thing to give them since it will allow them to pick their own treatment when they get there.
· Chocolates. No matter how fierce they tell you that they are on a diet, chocolates never fail to put a smile on a lady’s face.
· Bath set. Because they love to pamper themselves at home and matching scents are also an alltime favorite!
· Planner. A human planner is also a good idea but he/she won’t fit inside the stocking right? So ladies will be glad to settle with a planner and a nice pen.
For the kids:
· Go for something educational instead of just plain amusing. Some small foldable board games (the one with magnets for roadtrips) are nice. Classic games like Snakes and Ladders and Chess are small enough to fit their Christmas stockings but guarantee hours of fun.
· Art supplies. Twistable crayons, pencils and small doodle pad would be nice.
· Candies and chocolates. Just make sure you have painkillers within reach to avoid any traumatic experience afterwards.
