    The food in the stock is interesting to me.
    One year my mom's new BF did my stocking for me...he put two shot glasses and a bag of dry rice in the bottom. :huh: That guy was an idiot.


    ...wow.

    Okay, I'm trying something new. I'm giving my two DD $$ and setting them loose in Target to get stuffers for their dad and me. We'll be racing and ducking from one another while I finish up theirs. Should be fun!

    Songbyrd, I like the idea with the pajamas. I think I may try that this year, WalMart has some cute girls' pj's on sale:happy:

    If there is a target by you, they also had some really cute PJ's!
    I have Hannah Montana hairbrush,candy,toe rings, and webkinz!

    No matter what you stuff it with, make sure its topped off with a big orange.

    :huh:

    We always got an apple, orange, and nuts too.

    But to understand the orange, you should read Frankie's Oranges, a children's book by Patricia Polacco (sp). I LOVE that book!!! :cry: (even though it makes me cry!)



    I never had fruit in my stocking! I would have really been disappointed in Santa!

    So... It's official, the oldest has a halo poster for his stocking, along with a deck of Yu-Ghi-Oh cards that he said he wanted. All the kids have snickers nutcrackers (I like the holiday snickers more than the regular snickers bars, the caramel is more creamy), bite sized reeses, Nestle crunch bells, a big chocolate chip cookie tin, and giant Hersheys bars. So much for cutting back on the candy each year. DH was in charge this year. The 14 year old has a watch also, the 10 year old has a Star Wars action figure, and the youngest has a dice game.

    For my hubby's stocking, I have a bottle of japanese soy sauce (we used to get a great tempura dipping sauce, but can't find it anymore), a pair guitar hero boxers (nothing more funny than your husband rocking out on a plastic guitar while wearing his underwear), a new pair of winter gloves.

    Oh, and everyone gets a new shower pouf... lol

    I work for Bed Bath and Beyond so most of my stocking stuffers come from there. My wife loves to cook so I usually fill her stocking with kitchen gadgets and these silver serving peices she loves. Some of our stores have a Harmon health and beauty aids department so I usually buy up a bunch of trial sized lotions and shampoos and such. The boys usually get fun little novelty toys like a monkey that you can shoot like a slingshot and old school candies. Stocking stuffers are my favorite because as long as its small it works. For the wine lover you can fill a stocking with bottle stoppers, wine glass charms and a corkscrew. This year I am putting together a spa stocking for my wife. Foot lotion, pedicure stuff, sleep mask, cashmere socks ect... I just think theme stockings are fun. lol:laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh:

    I'm printing this & giving it to my husband. Seriously! That is really well thought out! You better hope she doesn't read it on here, though! LOL I applied at BB&B one time before I was married & I am SO glad I didn't get the job. They might as well just funnel my paycheck right back into the cash register. I love that store!

    I told my husband that since he puts NO thought into gifts, he better not waste money on them this year. I've got Chia Pets, a Super Duper Lint Buster, The Clapper :huh: the list goes on & on. Santa better not bring me anything this year unless it is a gift card to Old Navy to go get new clothes!...and if he wraps it in ANYTHING that says "as seen on tv" on the box, I'm tossing it at his head. :bigsmile:

    Does that make me spoiled? LOL :laugh:

    Soup, send me your address. Perhaps I can pass on some of my treasures. According to my son it doesn't matter what my husband gets me, I return it. I'm sure this comment came from his dad...but I don't know what they are talking about! :noway: I have used the garbage can and the toilet seat that I got last year everyday...sometimes multiple times a day! Yes, be jealous, be VERY jealous! :laugh: :laugh:

    You just gotta love those fancy pieces of art, though. My favorites are the cut out coffee filters that look like snowflakes.:smooched:

    Not kidding about the toilet seat. He actually broke it a couple of weeks ago when I was out of town. :noway: I think he was desperate for something else to get me this year, and since I seemed to like it so much...he was going to get me a new one.

    He ended up replacing the blender he broke instead. I also got a new crock pot to replace the one his ex-girlfriend's parents had given him 15 years ago. Like I said, be jealous!:laugh: :laugh:

    All sorts of anything that will fit, hehehe.... :drinker: Some Hot Chocolates, some candies, some fun stuff like lock de-icers, a micro wonder bar, a garlic car for Ezzie (really, *giggle* as you drive it across the counter, it minces the garlic inside!)...
