good ideas... I put Starbucks Via packs, granola bars, beef jerky, Spry gum b/c it has no sugar, and "nice" everyday pens.
I did not enjoy The Shack; I know so many people did but ... it just did not impress me overly much.
At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about "The Shack"...but then, after time, I decided it was profound and creative (and encouraging too).
Beef jerky is a great stocking stuffer, although we've recently realized that you have to look at the ingredient label carefully. Many brands contain Sodium Nitrate (including the brand pictured). Scary!
Chapstick, a new book, a CD, an iPod shuffle, a book of Sudoku games, a comic book, a Rubik’s cube, …
I was gifted "The Shack" when my little Lucy was in the hospital but I haven't started reading it yet. Have you or your husband read it? I've heard it's a real page-turner.
I always think men are so difficult to buy for. I generally fall back on books or cds that I know they'll like.
I love NGS's idea of the tiny musical instrument - what a fun tradition!
We always give my dad good quality Apricot Jam and dark-chocolate covered cranberries. Hubby always gets a pineapple and some jerky! Flashlights, ink pens, slippers, books of short-stories, fishing lures, little hunting gadgets or nifty pocket tools and car or hunting magazines normally end up in the guys stockings too.
He'll be getting a granola bar (like the ones you brought me...yum), a $8 watch from Target (he needs one with a stopwatch for running), a little "something" to put in his coffee that morning, and some of his favorite chocolate treats from Trader Joes.
I like to put a tiny musical instrument in there. Last year I got him a harmonica on a key chain (it was about $2) and this year I'm getting him a kazoo. I don't know how this joke started, but we do it every year!!
Okay, those ones are more affordable. :) Not necessarily Chris things, but definitely closer to the right track. Thanks!
In my husband's stocking:
1. Reece's Pieces (his favorite)
2. Dexter Season 3 Blu Ray
3. Rockabye Guns N Roses (his favorite band)
4. A Swiper (from Dora) beanie baby. An inside joke because he wants a pet fox and we love Swiper.
ps. we are only filling each other's stockings this year...which is why some of the gifts are a little pricier.
