Stocking stuffers

I had a picture of the beautiful stocking's my grandma had made for my husband and I last year, I will have to post it later when I find them or...when it's time to decorate for Christmas!

Men

Pocket knife - 

Window decals for car - my husband loves jack skellington so I got him some of those last year, you could do his favorite sports team, ect. 

Kitchen knives - if your husband loves to cook like mine this is a great gift. we like the Rada knives they are in expensive but work great and you can purchase a sharpener from them.
Kitchen gadgets - meat thermometer, tongs, grilling accessories, ect.

Cologne

Shaving supplies - I bought my husband and dad a small kit from the art of shaving last year and they both loved it, my dad prefers un scented which they offered so a great solution for people that are sensitive

Key chains - sports team, favorite band, or bottle opener keychain. 

Bottle openers

Candy

Hand Warmers

Feet Warmers

Leather wallet

Bullets - if you can find the right ones in stock!

Body wash - my husband loves axe, even though  it's an essential he still enjoys getting them in his stocking


Women 

Lindor truffles - or any other gourmet chocolate, try out a local place if you have one! We have a great chocolate store right down the road from my work I will be checking out this year. 

Makeup - Avon, Elf, Aveda, Mac, options for any price range.

Kitchen utensils - I LOVE Pampered chef or Tupperware, you could also go to a kitchen store or Williams Sonoma

Hand lotions - I love Aveda's hand and foot relief they offer two different sizes which is great and they also have holiday gift sets.

Perfume

Travel size hair products - I love Aveda's styling products, and everyone loves a travel size hairspray to have in their purse, talk to your stylist if the salon doesn't carry them.

Candles - I love celebrating home candles (previously home interiors) if you haven't heard of it ask your mom and I'm sure she has, they also have two different types of Warmers and scent beads!


Coasters - you can purchase a favorite sports team or check out my tutorial on making them.

Specialty coffee or coca mix 

Fuzzy socks

Craft or scrap booking supplies

Gift certificate to salon or spa ( find out who their stylist or nail tech is first though) 



Universal

Toothbrush - my whole life my mom has bought us the electric toothbrushes with the battery for Christmas and puts them in our stockings, it sounds like a simple thing but we expect it every year now.

Sharpies 

Fancy pens

Small notebooks 

Pocket calendar - for the people that still use them, there is a few!

Fishing lures - my husband and I love to fish, these always end up in our stockings! 

Organic soap - you can find it at whole foods or specialty stores but my absolute favorite is sudsy soapcakes, they have organic gluten free soap, I have been using it my entire life and love the fresh spearmint.


Mix cd's - this always makes it into my husbands stocking, whether its a mix he can listen to at work or my favorite love songs of the moment.

Underwear

Headphones

Xbox, ps3 games Or accessories

Movie tickets

Belkin outlet that shuts off when your device is done charging 

Chapstick

Gift cards - I think everyone gets at least one of these in their stocking. I love the Starbucks one, or a favorite clothing store.

Batteries

Gloves - a nice pair of leather gloves or some durable work gloves 

Ornaments - my mom got my brother and I an ornament every year growing up (she still carries that tradition) and now that we are on our own it is great that we already have ornaments we can pull out of our Christmas totes that have a memory attached.
 It would always very between a personalized one, the musical instrument we played, to our favorite cartoon character.
The best time to buy them is after Christmas at hallmark, you can get them up to half price, but hurry they don't last long! 

Car air freshener.

Candy! - everyone loves this one.

I'm sure I have more but that is all I can think of right now, feel free to comment with your stocking stuffer idea's I would love some input!
