If we had a target in Canada, I'd go, but our Zellers haven't converted yet.</p> <p>I'll definitely be hitting the local Dollar store for most of these items.</p> <p>Tim Horton's is my DH's favourite coffee shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-27063 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:15:50 +0000 Nskillet 27063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about an ornament with a wedding photo or another sentimental gift? Our stockings always have candy, toiletries, and small gifts. Oh, and a clementine orange in the toe!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-27046 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:38:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 27046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our stocking, we like to fill them with gift cards, small sized items like electronic accessories, new pens, lotions, chapstick, socks, undies, etc. We also like to get some spice rubs, sauces, and similar items because we love to cook.</p> <p>For budget items, what are his interests/hobbies? I love thrift shops and Goodwill for kitschy, one of the kind little things. They've got books there, sometimes they have things like sets of golf balls or gardening items, glassware (so you could get some mini bottles of alcohol for his fave drink and a vintage shot glass or cocktail glass), ornaments, records, etc. Sometimes they (or a Dollar Tree type store) might have razors on sale, shaving mirror, nice men's soap, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26995 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:53:23 +0000 twinmama 26995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually put snacks or treats in his stocking to fill it up some more. Especially things that we don't typically buy or only he likes - for him it's mostly asian snacks like shrimp chips or spicy squid, but also little things like snickers or corn nuts or beef jerky.</p> <p>I also find an ornament for the tree that's related to something special we did that year. Like the year we honeymooned in NYC, I got him an ornament of the empire state bldg. He always puts a mini frame ornament with the year and a photo in my stocking too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26984 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:30:37 +0000 rachiecakes 26984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do lots of candy - like holiday Reeses trees and marshmallow Santa. it's small and it gets eaten so no knick-knacks to hang around the house afterwards.<br /> sometimes things like socks, gift cards, gloves, iPhone case, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26976 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:22:39 +0000 Rosie Girl 26976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found some good ones on here too!:</p> <p><a href="http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/150-stocking-stuffer-ideas.html" rel="nofollow">http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/150-stocking-stuffer-ideas.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26949 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:31:30 +0000 Rosie Girl 26949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm putting in a small LED flashlight, coffee, socks, screen for cooking bacon, gas card, and I don't know what else yet!</p> <p>I second the $1 bins at Target, they have some good stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26943 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:21:05 +0000 eeh 26943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is getting: beef jerky, wireless mouse, pajama pants, a bottle of salad dressing from Olive Garden since he's obsessed with their dressing, socks, and whatever else I can think of between now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26935 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:02:01 +0000 MaisyMay 26935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd check out the dollar bins at Target for some fun goodies.

Tim Hortons is a coffee and donuts place, like Dunkin Donuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26823 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:14:47 +0000 mediagirl 26823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our stocking are always full of toiletries. It's not out of budget if you're buying things you need! What's a Tim Hortons? We always do scratch-offs, as well. And candy coins that just get reused each year because, well, they're gross. Haha.</p> <p>Oh! Socks! Everyone needs a new pair of socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-christmas-stocking-ideas#post-26771 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:38:51 +0000 Mrs. D 26771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to fill my husbands Stocking this year on a budget.
