Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

I get weirdly excited about my Christmas stocking every year. I actually get two of them now that I'm married (one for each foot--ha!), and both of them have more gifts than candy. Never are they full of Hershey Kisses with a pair of socks perched on top, they're little cornucopias of trinkets and handy gadgets. And I can't wait.

Anyway, if you have stockings to fill, too, here are some goodies for under $10 to consider:


The chevron notebook (which I think is the official pattern of 2011) is $5.75, the button hair pins are $4, the foxy pocket mirror is also $4, and the mini soy candle is $8.

I gave it the $10 cutoff because once something is more than that, it kind of turns into a "real" gift. At least at our house it does.

As of Sunday, only 5 weeks until Christmas--and it just occurred to me that Thanksgiving is next week. How are you doing with your assorted holiday prep? Feeling like time can't possibly be passing this quickly? Anybody else already giddy to get their stocking(s)?

    These are really fun - can you email a list to my husband?! haha. I just got some fun things on Etsy for our stockings (yes, I fill my own) I got a sample pack from a bath and body seller to split between our stockings, so fun! But yes - I'm excited for stockings too, and sparkles. I'm not a girlie girl but do believe Christmas is a time to get something fun that you totally don't need.

    I want all of those things! Especially that notebook. I don't have anything to write down, but who cares!

    I'm glad you said so because stockings are my favorite part. my family always packs them full of all sorts of little trinkets and candy. sometimes a "real gift" even sneaks in. They are so great!!

    I love stocking stuffers! I get really excited about all those little gifts too. And when I just read "5 weeks til Christmas" I had a mini-panic. Can it really be that soon? I have a lot to do, including figuring out where we'll be for the holiday. Ahhhh! :)
