What I did last year, because I just ran out of ideals for my DH Stocking. He is into tools and is a Tech by trade. So my son and I when down the isle at walmart that has screws and nuts and bolts, small screw drivers ect... and we set a budget of 10.00. Then we shopped for little items we knew would fit in the sock. When we reached our budget we stopped shopping. It wouldn't all fit in the sock. You could do this with Fishings, automotive, even Candy. There is always the Dollar store too that you could find some really different things in. Happy Holidays Hope this helps Sherry

Thank you so much Tammy for the wonderful gifts I received wine glass, candy canes, cookie cutter, cute card and owl ornament, instructions for winter seed growing. I especially appreciate all of your cute sayings and printouts on each package, that really took quite a bit of time, I really loved the little seed envelope that you made yourself with the 3 different seeds inside that was great. Thank you for taking the time to make the swap so special. Thank you! Kim

I love these card sets-- I used to get them at B&N but my local store doesn't sell them anymore. I went on a hunt and found them at this online store-- FlorentineShop This is the style I use as my "signature" but they have so many styles to choose from! They're perfect for short notes to go with a gift, to add to a mailing package or whatever calls for a short note (I hate writing long notes longhand so I use them a lot!). I would be thrilled to get them wrapped as a gift or in a stocking! This may not be a design you love but they have many to choose from (many with an Italian focus) and also memo pads, sketch books, journals, etc. They also have wrapping paper in many of their designs. I just love this one-- but of course, they have holiday designs also,

I was thinking of getting DSIL the round ice cube tray. Over Thanksgiving,I managed to engage him in conversation about the round vs large square cubes. He knew someone with a round ice cube tray. He did not like it for a reason I had not thought of. The spherical ice often slips from your fingers. That’s okay if you put the ice in the glass first then mix your cocktail. But if you mix your cocktail then add the ice, you could end up with your drink splashed on you.
