Stuffing the Best Stocking; Stocking Stuffers 2012
Stuffing the Best Stocking is not as easy as it seems. You need a mix of different things from the practical to the fun little treasures. It's a place where Christmas socks, costume jewellery and chocolates collide.
It's not necessarily about cheap thrills. It could be that something is small or hard to wrap.
My friend recently posted a rhyme on her Facebook status as a guide on what to think about when buying presents. Something they want, something they need, something they'll wear, something they will read. Totally appropriate for the best stocking stuffers too.

Many of these ideas are interchangeable for girls and boys, men & women. I mean who doesn't need a new pair of socks or pjs? Just take it up a notch and get something fun. If your significant other doesn't like chocolate put an imported brew in there, or his favourite cookies.
Some of the jewellery items above are bigger ticket items. It's fun to find something unexpected like that in a stocking as opposed to under the tree.
Remember that little ones expect the stocking items to come from Santa, so don't put things from Mommy & Daddy in there!!
What is on your list of best stocking stuffers for 2012?
My favorite stocking stuffers for this year.....went to Charming Charlie & Beat of Everything (super cheap fantastic costume jewelry stores in the US) and picked up cute necklaces, scarves and bracelets all for under $10 a piece. Also, new paperbacks and magazines make great stocking stuffers!
You are so right, magazines and books are fantastic stocking stuffers. Always like having a new glossy to flip through!
