Catwoman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I would love to get these for ds16, but the clerk at my local store said she'd never heard of them and it doesn't look like the Marshalls website is set up for ordering (weird). I tried Googling, but got nowhere. Would you happen to know the brand name or where else they might be available? Thanks in advance for any help! If you can't find them in Marshalls, try TJMaxx or Home Goods. They are all owned by the same parent company and carry a lot of the same merchandise. I was in Marshalls today and although I didn't see the logic cards, they had tons of similar inexpensive stocking stuffer type items, and they were scattered around in different departments, including the men's department. (In fact, I saw more of that kind of stuff in the men's area than anywhere else in the store.) The clerks in our local stores often don't know the merchandise that well, so just because one clerk says they don't have something, I wouldn't necessarily take them at their word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplejackmama Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 DH is getting some new underwear lol. In all seriousness, we are NOT a 'socks and jocks' gift family, but there's a very good brandname of underwear here that has a unique design and I decided it was about time DH got some good quality undies, he's never had more than the 5 pack cheapies before. Though, this brandname (bonds) is not cheap. This may well be the most expensive stocking I've ever filled. I totally get this. When ex official shows up under the tree for my hubby, he's all smiles. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Extra phone charger cords. The cords are always the weak link. Amazon basics has good, cheap ones. The guys are definitely harder. This is one reason I made the "no stockings after college age" rule. I have six daughters and mostly didn't want to have to deal with all those boyfriend and husband stockings! For the girls: Hand lotion Hair ties Fuzzy socks are always a huge hit For both: Lip balm Pentel gel pens or nice retractable pencil Playing cards For the guys: Maybe a nice tie? A decent silk tie can be had for like $12-15 on discount this time of the year at Macy's. And it takes up some valuable volume if you leave it rolled up.

Anne in CA Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I usually put a couple of energy drinks in each stocking. I hate energy drinks, I think they are a huge waste of money, but dh and the kiddos love them and since everyone wants to spend part of Christmas break staying up late watching movies and hanging out the energy drinks come in handy for their late night "parties". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girls like that Bai5 juice-water-tea stuff---I'll stick a bottle in their stockings! Thanks :) Between the bottle, their favorites from Bath & Body Works, and the mini umbrella there won't be much space left to fill ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 A 2015 coin set? My kids are still on the younger end, so I put in a small lego set. Maybe big kids would like that, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn in CA Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We put a "junk food" breakfast in which allows us parents to sleep in. Pop tarts, individual applesauce, those fruit cups. They like it. Then just one "thing" which is simple to buy, and I divide up a bag if Christmas chocolates among them. But I'll raid the candy canes and other stuff we already have for the younger ones. One year I found a package of my son's favorite pens unopened in his very messy room and I put those in his. He never noticed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Quick idea dh had yesterday...practice golf balls. They're low-flight, so you can practice in close quarters and not break windows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'll be adding some mint tea bags to my daughter's stocking. She missed Halloween and Thanksgiving as she's been in South Korea for the past fifteen months, so she'll be getting some 'Christmas' chocolate jack o'lanterns and a turkey. (And, conveniently, I bought these at 50% off after those holidays.) She'll get a chuckle from these as we routinely give chocolate 'Easter' reindeer and hearts as well as chocolate '4th of July' bunnies, etc. I'll also add a small gift certificate to our local doughnut store, some books, a DVD, and ....
