Stocking Stuffers are the most fun. And I'm all for grown ups having them, not just the kids. I would rather open the little treasures tucked into my sock than any big gifts. I will write one for kids too... and may have a Part 2 this year with more suggestions as I find them. If you don't find what you're looking for, check out the Stocking Stuffer category for my MANY past posts. Enjoy!

Total favorite: The extra small but well made spatula. Just the right thing for getting that last bit out of smaller jars, or to spread things from frosting to gravy over a small surface. Bed Bath and Beyond, / Macy's, and on Amazon, which does carry some of their other colors. I have the white, they come in red, and dark blue. It's the one in the middle so you can judge size. $7.99

I always recommend Essie nail color. How about a pop of color to get through the rest of winter to make their spirit bright? Expressie nail enamel for $9, found at everywhere from CVS to Macy's. This color looks great with jeans - or click to choose from wine red to rose, green to black.
Bitch Stix Lip Balm is a cool company, offering all kinds of organic balm for face and body. I picked this açaí berry share because so many use the sheer black honey by Clinique, so it's a pleaser, as would a clear or light rose shade. For $12. Also, they explain why they call it what they do -and they put proceeds toward great causes. Check 'em out.

SUPERsize their health habit! A little big for a stocking but... this helps them keep track of how much water they're really taking in, I saw someone with one of these who swore by it.

With too many colors, sizes and uses to summarize, if the idea of green, collapsable containers appeals to you, visit

For those who don't have a smart car with an outlet, here are two ways to turn the old car lighter into a plug and a USB charger. What that means is you can plug your phone, a light, or whatever into it like you'd do a wall outlet. It will take your car battery juice eventually but not if you keep the car running while you charge. The Dewalt inverter has REALLY come in handy and are a great, functional gift to give. This provides a 20V AC household power outlet for job sites, tailgating etc. plus a dual USB Charging ports for phones, tablets & other devices. Just plug the 12V DC plug into vehicle's 12V outlet for power. At Home Depot for $39.

TIP: Sales are all over the place these days, so the prices I list will likely have changed. If you see something you want, but the price isn't right, check back in a few days and again until you need to buy it in time to get it. Consider taking what savings you can over waiting too long for things that could run out, like certain toys...
