Holiday Stocking Stuffer Ideas

iPod Shuffle

I already have an iPod Touch, but I love these! They’re colorful, compact and I love that they clip on to your shirt or bag. I don’t like the lack of control and organization, so obviously this wouldn’t be for me. But for someone who just wants to rock out while going for a run, this is definitely a fun little stocking stuffer.

Lost Action Figures

I’m one of those stupid masochistic Lost fans who season after season say “No more! I can’t handle it!” but still tune in to be punched in the brain by the nonsense that is Lost. These little figurines are the perfect gift for other fans like myself.

Now this can go one of two ways. The message is plain and clear…or is it? This pendant is actually from an Etsy shop featuring Twilight-themed pendants. Mmhm…see where I’m going with this?

Hugging Salt & Pepper Shakers

These can be found online at MOMA. They were designed by Alberto Mantilla in 2002. I thought they were too cute not to include in this guide.

Mixtape Flash Drive $15

What WON’T they turn into a flash drive? There’s humping dogs, sushi and a human thumb. So of course they’d turn something normal, like a cassette tap, into a flash drive.

Drip Clips $5.90

Drip clips is a cute addition to any desk, whether at the home or office. The faucet is magnetic so the clips dangle from it like droplets of water. You can probably find a great deal on blue paperclips at Staples or Office Depot.

I Am Not A Paper Cup $19.95

I kind of love this cup. It looks like a standard paper cup that you’d get from Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, but it’s so much more. It’s a ceramic stand-in. That’s right. It’s a washable and reusable coffee cup that only looks like you grabbed it with your morning muffin.

Be Smarter for $5.95

100 Words is “an informative and entertaining resource that can help anyone be right on the money when looking for words that will make a point, seal the deal or just keep folks listening.” It includes one-syllable words, those derived from names of famous people and popular cultural expressions.

Mini Cocktail Shakers

Target has these colorful mini cocktail shakers for $14.99. That might seem like a lot to pay for a little drink, but I think they’re adorable. It makes the perfect amount for a solo-drinker. Or they can be used as decoration in the kitchen or dining room.

Emotibud Earbud Set

These are great for the younger music lovers in your family. They’re cute, bright and colorful. They add more character to the standard white earbuds that come with your iPod.

Penguins $24.99

Okay, so the cookie jar might be too big for a stocking stuffer, but the salt and pepper shaker aren’t! You can wrap up the cookie jar separately.

The Yoga Deck $14.95

The Yoga Deck is a beautifully illustrated deck of fifty yoga poses and meditations for beginners and experts. Each easy-to-use card gives detailed instructions, benefits, and an affirmation.
