alimfp Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 DH is getting the usual, but also tongs (he lost our small pair of tongs - how? NO IDEA!) and a new rear wiper blade for his Explorer. So any odd things going into stockings for your SO or kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyfanamo Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I always put different kind of things in DH's stocking. There is always a foreign beer, candies, and anything "odd" that I can find! I really love doing stockings:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madi5 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Every year my Step Dad and I have a competition to see who can get the "best" stocking stuffer. They are not coming to visit this year so I mailed his stocking.. hopefully I beat last years gift. Last year it was an Oscar Meyer Winnie Whistle (which is gonna be tough to beat), hemoriod cream, laxitives and bandaids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 My wife did an little exchange with her coworkers... One of them is crazy about Key Lime and saw my wife drinking a Key Lime soda from Wal-Mart. My wife took in a bottle in for her the next day and now we pick up a few bottles for the coworker when we go to W-M (the coworker lives in Philly -- no W-M nearby). Well, for the exchange, I picked up a whole case (12 bottles/$6 worth) of this Key Lime soda. My wife put a big bow on in -- the coworker loved it. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Love/Heart-Beat.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray04 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am putting finger nail clippers in our boys stockings! I am so sick of finding broken ones and lost ones. Now they will have their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelenaV Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I don't know if this is 'weird' but my son is getting 5 new reeds for his sax and a reed case. We spend a small fortune on reeds. They end up lost or broken or just plain wear out. We has an instrument here at home to practice on so I imagine he'll use the new reeds here at home.

Promom Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I put magazines in my kids stocking. It takes up alot of room if I've spent too much on the stuff under the tree. Husband is getting a GottaDeal stocking; craftsman sockets and razor both from coupons from the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax81772 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well... my mil is getting a box of Sonic Drive In straws and sugar free honey, last year it was sugar free oatmeal. She is borderline diabetic, so I always look for something funky to feed her sweet tooth. My dh is getting... a clorox bleach pen and a whoppie cushion.

bluebear Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 DS8 is getting a gallon jar of dill pickles, and DD2 is getting a quart of cottage cheese.Sounds like perfect gifts for my two sons as well! How are you doing the cottage cheese? Will you put ice packs in the stocking, or put it in a thermos? My DS8 would love that. Cottage cheese and Chex Mix are his favorite foods.

Kara1204 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 My Pharmacy was giving away all of it's old stock of Medical Alert Bracelets this week. I got one that says "Alzheimer's Patient" for my Dad. He does NOT have Alzheimers, but we accuse him of it all the time. I KNOW, it is NOT funny or "Politically Correct" for those of you who DO know someone with Alzheimer's, but my Dad will get a kick out of it. I will tell him to keep it......just in case.

My son HATED cottage cheese when he was her age, he would instantly start gagging. Now he likes it, but she will eat an entire container in one sitting. We can't normally keep it because she eats it constantly, and makes a huge mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't normally keep it because she eats it constantly, and makes a huge mess!That's a good idea. My kids dislike it for the most part still, I hope they begin to like it eventually. I'm the only one in the house that likes it, but I could easily finish off a medium container in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noehlp Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 WOW! Hold up! You ALL have my mouth dropping to the floor in what you put in the stockings. HAHAHAHA Never, have I thought of putting any of these things in the stockings. But, I LOVE the idea. Hmmm... I have a few days left. Though I have no clue what to get. Ack! If you can give me some ideas I would love it. I need 3 odd balls. Money was/is super tight this year, so under $2 for each. The ketchup idea sounds pretty good for my youngest (6), as she uses it on most everything. My kids are: DD 12 1/2, DS 10, and DD 6 (but will be 7 Jan 7 ~ it's her golden birthday!!!).So what oddball ideas do you all have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Patty, for the two older kids - you could go to Spencer's Gifts. Granted, they have some adult stuff, but they also have kid toys and such that are funny and off the wall. If Spencer's wasn't in the mall here, I'd go tomorrow.. but I am just not willing to brave the mall this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjredsox4 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I have put pringles chips, soda cans, canned mandarin oranges, real orange or apple, banana or a favorite snack or drink. Something that both my kids like now is Propel water so that is something I may pick up today when I finish my food shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while he took it for lunch every day, we put a thermos in the freezer over night, and it went in there. But he hasn't had it in several weeks, so this will be a nice treat!

mom2monkiesx3 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 OMG I cannot believe you guys have kids that eat Cottage Cheese I thought my DD that loves broccoli and brussel sprouts was GREAT! I don't put strange things in my kids stockings. I guess I am strange. I put smaller gifts in there with some candy and fruit. Hmmm now you've got me thinking though!
