WFMW--Best Stocking Stuffer List Ever


Sorry for the repost, but if Shannon can do it, I can too, right? And a holiday kindness this big deserves to be commemorated. Some of them are getting dated already (film? Ack! Substitute "memory cards") but most are still great ideas, and Heather is still a great friend and inspiration to me.

Original Post: Heather's List of Stocking Stuffers

This list was given to me one Christmas by my friend Heather. I ran a quick errand for Heather one December, and in return, she brainstormed stocking stuffers for me, with assistance from our other friend Melinda. The original is complete with illustrations for things like "firestarter" and "ear cover band" and the list itself is one of my most treasured gifts! So as a pre-Christmas gift to Blogworld, I share it with all of you. This list isn't that old but already some things are outdated (see #4); I'm leaving them there, however, as part of the tribute to them but also in case they spark some creative idea for you. With continued thanks to my friends Heather and Melinda.

What a great list for stocking stuffers! I already bought for this year, but will hold onto it for next.

I think I'm going to forward this to my mom since she's always struggling for "themes" for our stockings...

Thanks so much for your comment on His Unfinished Work. I have a feeling the holidays may be a real learning experience this year. Today was a bad day, but tomorrow will be better!
