Because everyone knows the best part of Christmas is the stockings. Although I am fond of the dinner as well. And twinkle lights. And people who are moderately less miserable for a few weeks of the year.
People are 1.74% less likely to give you the finger between December 12th and the 25th so that's something to look forward to for everyone. I made that statistic up but it's based on my imagination and my imagination is usually spot on. Like that time one summer when I invented quesadillas in my imagination.
Yes, they had already been invented but I didn't know that so the only thing that made me different than the person that imagined them first was luck.
I haven't done a stocking stuffer guide in years, but I can tell you ... it was fun. I stuck with grownups and pets, but there are plenty of things that would be good for kids too as long as those kids are about 35.
What kid wouldn't want a pair of instant underpants in a tin?

A colourful flashlight (with batteries) for every room.
Flameless lighter.
Meat claws. Perfect for carrying hot cooked chickens or shredding pulled pork ...
Instant underpants. Yep. Just add water.
Leather Tissue Box Covers - 14 colours
Because no matter how many flowers or stripes they add to that cardboard tissue box, and no matter how long you take picking out the least offensive one - it's still a cardboard tissue box.
Get them here in Canada where they're all different prices depending on the colour starting at under $10.

Easily one of the most ridiculous things I've seen. It's a pot that clips to your car's air vent so you can dip your nuggets or fries.
This on the other hand is genius.

Obviously don't give this to your dog to play with if they're the type to eat it, and never unsupervised.
That's it! Hope it helped. If you're feeling holiday stress just do the easy thing and go hide. At least until the 12th.

I've sniffed all the Naked Bee fragrances and, hands down, Grapefruit Blossom Honey is by far THE best!

I have the same hand lotion sitting on my desk at work

Isn't it fantastic?! ~ karen
Kathy
These are great! Off to do some shopping...
I love Philip's reaction to the bug. I think my dog would be terrified of it (she's terrified of some pretty innocuous things).
Joanna Sunderland
Christmas shopping done! Thank you for the ideas❤️
Karen
Your shopping is done, that's great! Just in time for December 1st. ~ karen
Linda
Thanks for the list. I needed to wrap up my shopping with a few silly items and cat toys! Great suggestions ( except urinal shot glasses are just disgusting).

"I saw that!" I need one of those on the rear car window lol. For all those cars that run off of the exhaust of the car in front of them (the weirdos 3feet behind me, even when it's 55mph!) (What happened to one second behind for every 10mph? How do people get their drivers license driving like nutters?!) The bug video reminds me when I was putting in the half barrel between garden beds for a cold compost pile last year, I found an 8inch long really Fat worm (unlike the 20inch long skinny worm I saw another time) and Mindy kitty was in the garden with me, just minding his business sitting down staring at the ground. So picked up the fat worm, and threw it in front of him. Lol. He was a little startled but rather fascinated. He sat up straight and watched it, then tentatively started just barely poking it with the soft bit of his paw, not quite sure he wanted to actually touch it, lol. Then as it made its way under the board we were on he started softly smacking it, and when there was only two inches left sticking out he got brave, lol, and gave it a few good whacks. (The worm was fine btw.) He had so much fun, lol. The cancer was already making him feel pretty bad at that point, so anything to make him feel better for a while.

I loved the video with the bug and Phillip. How like a big dog to back away when it's coming to him but attack when it is moving away.

Exactly! Lol! Aack! It's coming! It's coming! Run! Don't let it get me! Heeheehee. 😂
Mary
Hands down the best Christmas gift list!!! Wish my mom were still alive as she would have got such a kick out of Jesus watching.
danni
Ha!! "I saw that!"
I had stuff waiting in my cart, so immediately tossed one in and hit purchase, have just the person in mind!

Those battery bugs are hysterical. Unfortunately all the dogs owned by family members or friends are "instant bug gulpers". lol The toys wouldn't last 10 seconds before the trip to the dog surgery was needed. They WOULD make for a few giggles at a party though.
Terry
I may have to put Phillip and The Bug on repeat. Just the best.
Great curated list too. Now back to The Bug. When they sell out, Amazon sellers will be asking why Canadians are crazy for bugs. But we’ll know…

Phillip & Bug, best movie I've seen in years! Laughed out loud. Hug him from me!
