51. The Trash Pack
Who would have thought trash could be so fun? Meet the Trash Pack, a series of lovable characters that have some not-so-lovable characteristics. Poo-Tato Chips, Grotty Coffee, Burpy Slurpy, Trashy Torch, Sickly Sweets and Rotty Pop. Names that may even transport Mom and Dad to another time. (Garbage Pail Kids, anyone?)
FOR EVERYONE STOCKING STUFFERS
52. Bear Claw! Back Scratcher
Oh no, not…The Claw! All right, guys, don’t panic. Nothing Freddy Kreuger going on here. Instead we’re talking about the Bear Claw! Back Scratcher, which—let’s be honest—is something the whole family can enjoy. Man, woman, child—everyone enjoys a nice back-scratching, and with this tool around, you won’t even need any help to get the job done right. Measures at 8 1/4 inches and extends all the way to 18. That’s the spot!
53. Astronaut Ice Cream
So maybe you never make it to the moon and back, but that doesn’t mean you are forbidden from enjoying at least some of the perks of being a spaceman. Take Astronaut Ice Cream for instance. Most everyone in the family will enjoy this little slice of the universe, which comes in three distinct flavors: Neapolitan, Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chocolate Chip. Yum. The texture of this freeze-dried ice cream is something like cotton candy, and each 0.7-ounce package can be stored for a total of three years.
54. Portable Chargers
We live in a wired society. Having a constant source of power is not only convenient, but also necessary for those of us who make travel a daily part of our work. Stocking stuffers like the ZAGGSparq solve the personal energy problem by giving access to super-fast on-the-go charging for smartphone and tablet devices. It uses a rechargeable lithium polymer backup battery to pull it off, and the LED indicators allow the owner to know where his charges stand at all times.
55. The Mighty Gift Card
Don’t have time to pick out the perfect gift? No problem. Just pick out your loved one’s favorite store, throw some money down on a gift card, and allow them to decide. The older we get and the less money that we have, the more we appreciate gift cards. Cash spends fast and more often than not goes to the electric bill—some Christmas!—but with gift cards, you have no choice. You have to buy something you will enjoy.
56. Little Flower Candy Co. Flavored Marshmallows
What’s the only thing better than marshmallows? Flavored marshmallows! Little Flower Candy Company has you covered there with lines of vanilla, cinnamon, coffee and chocolate. All make great additions to any cup of hot cocoa or to chocolate and graham cracker combinations. We can taste it now—cinnamon and chocolate s’mores. Yum!
57. INNA Jam Plenty Spicy Jalapeno Jam
Don’t let the word “jam” fool you. The Plenty Spicy Jalapeno Jam from INNA Jam doesn’t belong on any peanut butter sandwich we’ve ever eaten. However, it does go great with cheese and crackers. If you have a guy or gal in your house that likes their food with a little bite, then you can’t do any better than this. Serve up with cream cheese as an appetizer dip, or use it as glaze to the main course. Doesn’t matter how you do it. Just keep the fire extinguishers in your house current, okay?
58. Liddabit Sweets Humbug Candy Bar
High probability that Ol’ Ebenezer may not have been such a Scrooge if he had known about the Liddabit Sweets Humbug Candy Bar. The bar is fashioned from cocoa sable cookie, which features a pinch of sea salt, and is joined by mint chocolate ganache and peppermint candy for a treat that couldn’t be any more Christmas if it tried. Most of you will have to track this one down online, but that only adds to the allure of the holidays.
59. 6 Legged Tees
Mosquitoes may not be a huge problem for you during the winter months, but before you know it, spring and summer will be here again, and you’ll want to go outside. Inevitably for the fair-skinned in the family, this is a call to misery. Luckily, 6 Legged Tees has a shirt that can change the game and make going outside less of a hassle and more of the fun for which it is intended. Featuring an insect repellent that stays active through 70 washes, this one shirt can return the joy of camping to everyone—man, woman or child.
60. Santa’s Beard Man Candle
Okay, normally the Man Candle would be a scent product strictly for the guys, but this Christmas offering from creator Hart Main emits an aroma the whole family can enjoy, especially during the holidays. The Santa’s Beard Man Candle features a blend of sawdust—think Santa’s shop—fresh snow, and freshly baked cookies. As soon as this stuffer is pulled from the stocking, your family is just one match away from enjoying the new official scent of Christmas.
