Question HELP! Stocking stuffer ideas?

Still not in the Christmas spirit this year and looking for great ideas for stocking stuffers for my extended family. (No little kids anymore - everybody is 21+). My ideas so far:

- Good candy / chocolate
- Roasted nuts
- Meat snacks, cheese, etc
- Nice pens
- Money clips / minimalist wallet
- Penlights/small flashlights
- Knives / multi-tools
- Small puzzles / games
- Small LEGO kits
- Matchbox cars (of desired dream car of the individual)
- Socks, gloves, stocking hats
- Whisky stones (?)


Am feeling totally uninspired this year.

Suggestions? (Even green-font funny suggestions would be helpful...)

Most of mine were grade school teachers so I stuffed their stockings with stickers, colored pens, paper clips, staples, scotch tape, glue sticks etc. No idea what yours do but the principle stands.

Think about two things: what do they like? What will delight them that they didn’t consider?

I bought a pomegranate for my wife to put in mine. She always wants chapstick and chocolate.

My daughter and I went to Walmart for cheap, fun stuff. Got some glow in the dark glasses and other sorts of weird stuff. This is a time to be creative. We also got a weird “religious “ candle that says Powerful Hand. Makes me laugh. No idea what it means.

My wife is ALWAYS using my phone charger. Since this is the first year ever of 'stuffing her stocking', hehe, she's getting a fast charger that you just put the phone on.

Under small flashlights...these are fantastic! We have 'em scattered about the place and in both cars. Everybody we've given one to has later mentioned that they love it. Order the "super glow top". Might as well order a few for yourself.

Little chocolates/candies are always nice. Well, as long as the recipient isn't diabetic.

Frillly underwear given anonymously. I might do this to my MIL this year just to stir up 5hit… maybe put it in my FIL’s stocking.

I am going to do some gag stocking gifts this year. If I have to put up with my in-laws imposing, might as well have fun with it.

^^^^^

That's funny with the tires.

I know a man, much older than me, that got his wife a shotgun for some birthday/anniversary/Christmas one year. It was the story of legends for sure.

I remember my dad giving my mom a new steelhead rod for Christmas once - that didn't go well...
