For older children and adults, Christmas stockings can prove challenging. Why not fill holiday stockings with gifts that fit a single theme?
Themed Christmas stockings are similar to themed gift baskets. All the gifts should have something in common and pertain to the gift receiver’s interests. Here are some holiday stocking stuffer ideas that will be sure to delight the recipient.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Movie Lovers
Fill a movie lover's stocking with a DVD of a favorite movie, tickets to the local theater, microwave popcorn, and jumbo boxes of a favorite movie theater candy, such as Dots. Also consider a Netflix gift certificate and the soundtrack to a favorite movie.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Gardeners
Though spring is several months away, any gardener would love to receive a stocking filled with seeds and small gardening tools. A sturdy garden trowel, some gardening gloves and a small pair of clippers are all things that gardeners need to replace often. Consider ordering some bulbs and seeds from a company like Park Florists and including a picture of the plants you have ordered in the holiday stocking. The company will ship the bulbs or seeds when the correct planting time for the recipient’s plant hardiness zone has arrived.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for the Computer Geek
Fill a computer geek’s holiday stocking with a USB flash drive, a USB wireless notebook mouse, a micro SD card or other form of flashcard memory. Also consider a Bluetooth headset for a cell phone, a new mouse pad or a new USB game pad.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for the Scrapbook Crafter
Fill a scrapbook enthusiast’s holiday stocking with special stickers and scrapbook embellishments. Frequently used supplies, such as tape, basic scrapbook paper and photo mats, will be appreciated as well.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for the Environmentalist
An environmentally aware relative would love to receive a holiday stocking filled with environmentally friendly products. Consider canvas shopping bags, a reusable water bottle and a book about natural cleaners. Include a few natural cleaning products, some cloth napkins and a gift certificate to an all-natural health food store.
Christmas Stocking Stuffers for the Cook
When buying holiday stocking stuffers for a cook, look for items that are consumable or frequently used and worn out. Include real vanilla extract and other spices, oven mitts, and an apron. Also include some special cooking utensils, such as a top quality wire whisk and a spatula that can withstand high heat.
