31. Flirty Aprons
The apron has always been an inexplicable source of loveliness, and now they just got ten times more fashionable from the folks at Flirty Aprons. Fashioned to appear as a dress while keeping the same comfort and functionality, these aprons currently come in more than 50 fashionable styles with the probability of more to come. In the spirit of the holiday, you may want to consider the Deck the Halls, Dear Santa or Mistletoe options.
32. Garnet Hill Easy Cashmere Sweater Cap
Garnet Hill offers the Easy Cashmere Sweater Cap in five lady-friendly colors—black, cobalt blue, medium gray heather, wheat heather and wild orchid. The one-size-fits all is helped out by the wide ribbed hem for extra stability while the pure cashmere material keeps the heat in and the cold out. She’ll love it!
33. L’Occitane Hand Cream Bouquet
Is she a fan of hand cream? Is that a stupid question? The answers to both are a resounding yes. Good thing you’ve got options when it comes to this gift idea. The L’Occitane Hand Cream Bouquet packages five of the company’s most beloved selections—rose petal, pivoine flora, shea butter, date bouquet and mango flower—with the new almond selection for a six-pack of 1-ounce samples that provide her with plenty of options.
34. iPhone Wallet Case
Lots of great options out there in the iPhone wallet department, so you may want to shop around or just pick up this selection from Whatever Works. As a husband who routinely finds himself in the position of license carrier for a beloved wife who hates to carry her purse into the theater or drinking establishments, I find this Christmas stocking stuffer a particularly appealing choice. Carries key, cards and phone, which, let’s face it, she would have on her anyway.
FOR KIDS STOCKING STUFFERS
35. Multi-Action Rubber Band Shotgun
From Bandit Guns comes the Multi-Action Rubber Band Shotgun, which will have your boys terrifying their sisters almost as soon as they pull theirs out of the stocking. From designer Bob Coulston, the kit comes with 14 pieces of plywood which can be pieced together like a puzzle (instructions included) to produce a rubber band firing machine capable of doing single-shot, all-at-once or rapid-fire. Ammo is even included. Lots of fun. Just don’t go around shooting each other in the face, kids.
36. Apple iPod 2GB Shuffle
Everyone knows that schools aren’t too keen on letting children roam the halls with electronic devices. But still, for those big bus trips to quiz bowl or football away games or Beta Club conventions, Little Steve or Sally needs their music, and what better way to provide it than through the Apple iPod 2GB Shuffle, which has the capacity for hundreds and hundreds of songs—hours of listening—on one device that can fit in the palms of their hands? The eight different colors also make this a great unisex gift for teenagers.
37. MyM&M’s NFL Custom Candies
Not gonna lie. This selection could easily have gone into the men’s section, but we’re including it here because of the sheer volume of teenage and pre-teen boys out there who are capable of naming every player on the roster of their favorite NFL team. Add to the fact that we’ve never met a child of any gender who didn’t like M&M’s, and that’s why the MyM&M’s NFL Custom Candies will make a great stocking stuffer for your child.
38. Table Topics – Teen Edition
Table Topics are great to have around for large gatherings that lend themselves to awkward situations, and it doesn’t get much more awkward than junior high and high school. Kids love to talk, but without direction conversation can devolve into something exclusionary and, quite frankly, not that fun. These keep conversation interesting, funny, informative, and most important of all, inclusive. While you may find yourself buying this for the teacher in your life, kids are likely the ones to get the most benefit from them.
39. Little Adventures Superhero Costume Mask
When some of us were children, we loved pretending to be superheroes, but our parents were too lame to actually help us accessorize. This resulted in the world’s worst imaginary Lone Ranger episodes, which we’re sure if anyone was watching, caused confusion in that “How can they not tell Clark Kent is Superman” kind of way? Don’t make the same mistake, parents. Encourage your child’s love of adventure by stuffing his stocking with a superhero costume mask from Little Adventures. Don’t let the imaginary villains know his secret identity!
40. Gummy Bear Lights
UncommonGoods delivers the perfect nightlight for any kids room in these Gummy Bear Lights. Currently available in yellow, green, red and orange, these operate on AA battery power. All you have to do is plug them in, squeeze, and voila, Little Suzie is sleeping in her own room tonight without having to be afraid of the monster hiding in her closet.
