Organize Your Life, Not Your Stuff

Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Posted by Holly Nelson on Thursday, December 17, 2009 Under: Tip of the Week
Here are a few ideas that I have for stocking stuffers. Some are frugal, some are not. And they are in no particular order. Some can be for kids as well as teens or adults. So, I just mixed them all together. I also like to wrap most of the things I put in their stockings. It gives us more time in the morning!

If you know someone that will not be getting a stocking to open on Christmas morning, this is also a good idea for a present. Buy any kind of  stocking and fill it with a few of the persons favorite goodies. One of my favorite gifts to give someone is a Junk-Food gift. My sister-in-law did this for my hubby as a gift one Christmas and it was an instant hit!

  Be creative for the new college student, elderly man/woman, new baby, neighbor, secret santa gift, neighborhood child, teacher, or pastor.
