Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Idea List

Stockings have always been a fun part of the Christmas tradition for us.  Growing up, we opened gifts on Christmas Eve and then before all the cousins showed up on Christmas morning, we got one last little thrill of opening our stockings.  Just little stuff, but often unusual little things we never thought of.

As the years have gone on, every tries to put a little something in each other's stockings.  Mom buys for kids, kids shop with Dad and Mom for each other, Grandma gets a few surprises from Mom, etc.  Problem is, I often find myself running short for ideas the week before Christmas.

So in case you're like me and trying to come up with some new ideas this year, I put together this Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Idea List.  Hope it gives you some new thoughts and a spring board for your own creativity as well.
