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

My teen boys usually get the AXE gift packs. I think they are starting to move away from that to Old Spice. Don't buy anything in a spray. You can thank me later. My daughter is a teen this month. She loves the face masks, makeup, bath bombs, fingernail polish in bright or glittery colors. Her favorite store is Hot Topic for fandom clothes. She has certain bands she likes and then Supernatural, Dr. Who, Harry Potter, etc. She also likes to take my makeup and hair things.

We also have local bakeries, as well as local bakers who sell online. And And, don’t forget your local thrift, benevolent, and antique stores! Does your community have a ”shop local” boutique for local organizations to sell things? We do, with school, family welfare, hospital, garden club, conservation, historical society participating. Oh, check your local historical society! Books about the area, or buildings, etc, can be good gifts. Finding things for guys can be tricky, though. The historical society books can be good. Or Or, how about membership to a local organization, or tickets to a local theater production or an event?
