75 Unique (and Fun) Stocking Stuffers

41. The Hunger Games Target Exclusive 3-Disc Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray

Don’t be quick to dismiss kids and their tastes. The Hunger Games began as a young adult series of novels, and it turned out to be pretty awesome, if the first film is any indication. But don’t take our word for it. Sit down and watch it with them. You may even want to check out the boatload of special features in Target’s limited edition 3-disc set of the Blu-ray.

42. Wham-O Original SuperBall

Ah, life’s simple pleasures. Back before Angry Birds and Draw Something and Words with Friends, there was Wham-O Original SuperBall. The good news? There still is. In fact, there are quite a few different selections to choose from: the Super-Duper, the Off-Road, the Bumpy and the original (in different colors of course). Your kids will dig them, same as you did.

43. Silly Putty

Some things are universal among different generations. To date, we’ve never seen a kid that didn’t light up when you hand them the red football-shaped container. It’s hard to imagine what kids did before Crayola came along. Aside from the crayons that provide them the chance to color zebras orange and yellow (because they can), they also make Silly Putty, the classic flesh-colored substance that you can mash and mold and pop at your leisure.

44. Supaboy Portable Game Console

The Supaboy Portable Game Console is a handheld reminder of what a great system the SNES was. Shaped like the classic system’s controller, it’ll play all your old games on the colorful 3.5-inch LCD display. It’s even compatible to the Japanese Super Famicom, and will keep you playing for five hours on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. Mini-USB adapter included.

45. Slinky Collectors Edition

To you it may be just a giant bedspring but to millions of kids across multiple generations, it is so much more. It’s fun for a girl and a boy! Of course, it’s even more fun when you’ve got a rather large staircase to walk it down. The Slinky Collectors Edition comes in the same classic box as the original.

46. The Pocket Guide to Magic by Bart King

Several activities out there to make your child instantly popular and well-liked. The Pocket Guide to Magic by Bart King is one of them. But don’t buy it for Junior because of that. Buy it because it’s fun, and you’ll both have an incredible time learning the trade secrets behind 20 memorable classics, including the ol’ saw-your-assistant-in-half routine.

47. On the Lookout Binoculars

Growing up in the Eighties, it was essential to have your own pair of binoculars. How else could you and your buddies be able to see if the British were coming when you played Revolutionary War? Binoculars had tons of practical uses, and really kids today are not all that different. That’s why they need the On the Lookout Binoculars, which come in a bright rubber coating for extra protection. A 4 x 30mm magnification offers high quality imagery with the ability to adjust focus, and the eye cups fold up for any glasses-wearers’ convenience.

48. Accoutrements Gumballs

Some folks just don’t do things the “normal” way, and while that may not resonate with everyone, kids are generally up for anything. That’s why you may want to consider Accoutrements Gumballs for their Christmas stockings. These come in a number of flavors that are, shall we say, different? Bacon gumballs. Cinema popcorn and cola. Cupcake gumballs. And in the spirit of the season, eggnog gumballs? (Don’t worry, no alcohol included.)

49. Transformers Bot Shots Battle Game

The Transformers Bot Shots Battle Game is basically rock-paper-scissors on steroids with your child’s favorite robots in disguise. How to play: find a friend who loves Transformers as much as you do, or at least force your little brother to buy in. Each of you should have a Transformers Bot Shot, which comes with a blaster, fist or sword. Ram them in to one another, and if yours converts to robot while your opponent’s remains the same, you win. If both remain vehicles, it’s a tie. Go again! If both alter, then you go to rock-paper-scissors (or blaster-fist-laser) mode. Sword beats Blaster, Blaster beats Fist, Fist beats Sword. That simple!

50. Rubik’s Cube

There are two types of people in the world: those who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in hours and those who can do it in a few minutes. Oh yeah, and then there are those of us who can’t solve one at all. So, three types, but you get the point! The classic strategy cube is still available and still challenging as ever. See if your kiddo can solve the puzzle this Christmas by slipping this one in the stocking.
