Unconventional Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Candy. Dollar toy stores they’ll forget about in a week. Socks and underwear. A traditional orange at the toe. A stuffed animal, book, or video game peeking out of the top. We all know the traditional stocking stuffers, but what if you want to add a little something unique this year? Here are four unconventional stocking stuffer ideas for Santa that are sure to be a hit!

For Her

Bouqs – Sure, you can’t put a bouquet of flowers inside the stocking, but you can let her know a bouquet is coming. What better way to keep the spirit of Christmas alive, then to receive a flower delivery the following week?  You can read my full review of the Bouqs company here and purchase a gift card or Bouq in time for Christmas.

 

For Him
EyeGlasses USA – A tie is one way to change up his wardrobe, but how about giving him a second pair of glasses to mix things up instead? Maybe he chooses a style risk as his alternate pair. Perhaps he simply wants a different color frame. Maybe he needs prescription sunglasses for his commute. Whatever his preference, you can gift him a pair of glasses using a holiday coupon code and enter to win a free pair here!

For Kids

Press Pouch – Food can still be fun after the holidays with the portable Press Pouch! Stuff kid’s stockings with a Press Pouch or two and add some recipe cards for homemade apple sauce and smoothies, plus a box of their favorite pudding mix. These little refillable food pouches are affordable, portable, and fun to use. They stand out from competitors by offering a choke-proof cap and are BPA, Phthalate, and PVC Free.

To use the pouches, you simply open the bottom, fill it, seal it closed, and press to eat. When my family used the pouches, we appreciated the large, see through portion. This meant that we didn’t have to worry about labeling or forgetting what we put inside multiple pouches. We also like that we could freeze a smoothie in the pouch and have it remain cold until lunch time. Ideally, the pouches would fill at the top (this makes me less nervous in case it comes open) and have a way to stand when not in use, so they don’t spill without the cap on. These small issues aside, we appreciated the ease of the Press Pouch, especially the ability to use, put in the dishwasher, and reuse.

For Baby 

Tooth Tissues – Your little one might not be filling up on candy just yet, but baby’s teeth still need care. These clever little wipes were invented by two dentists for their own children. Use them to develop good dental habits early by wiping your baby’s gums. As baby grows, you can then continue to wipe their teeth until they are ready to brush. These are also great in between brushing or during the “I can do it myself” stage, when teeth might need a little extra care beyond brushing.

Tooth Tissues are textured, bamboo wipes that remove plaque from gums. They are N.P.A. certified, natural, fluoride-free, paraben-free, and contain xylitol, so you can safely use them with confidence. They have a light, pleasant smell and teeth that delighted  my toddler, but didn’t overwhelm baby. I even tried one to show my toddler how they worked and found the experience refreshing.

Put a few travel packages of Tooth Tissues in baby’s stocking and then keep them in your diaper bag to continue great dental habits on the go!
