Glow sticks are fun for younger kids, and Silly Putty. Mine loved something called Thinking Putty, which is a fancier silly putty made for fidgeting, but I can't remember where I got it. Probably Target.
Whoopee cushions were a big hit one year, if you have one of "those" families (I married into one!). Archie McPhee (mcphee.com) has tons of gag gifts and silly joke stuff. Super place for quirky stocking stuffers, if you don't mind a slightly skewed sense of humor. This year, I'm giving hot cocoa bombs. Wish I could get my hands on the one with the Baby Yoda marshmallow in the middle, but so far it's sold out most places. Agree on the Lego blind bags, and you can also get blind bag figurines for different characters and fandoms. Check the trading card section near the checkouts in Target as well as the toy section. And don't forget Pokemon cards! I bought a bunch of those crazy glasses mentioned above for all the kids last year, and they were especially a HUGE hit with my 6yo nephew. Wish I could remember where I got them. Maybe Child's Play in Rockville? They were cardboard, like old-school 3D glasses, and cost about a buck apiece. For tween/early teen girls, washi tape is fun, as well as little erasers, cool pencils, planner stickers, etc. Mine is 13 and *totally* obsessed with fancy Japanese school supplies from places like kawaiipenshop.com. There's also a store in Rockville that sells tons of those kinds of Japanese and Korean goodies (think Hello Kitty, but a zillion different characters and products). They also have accessories, some Korean beauty products like sheet masks, phone cases, housewares like bento boxes and water bottles, anime/manga merchandise (not many actual comics, if I remember, but some of the figures were pretty high-end), and lots of K-Pop stuff like BTS posters and keychains. I can't remember the name of it, but it's in the same shopping center as Penzey's Spices. I went WAY overboard last year! Too much fun. |

I grew up in a part of the world with very few Jewish families, and we always had chocolate coins (wrapped in gold or silver foil paper) in Christmas stockings. I have no idea why or how the tradition came about, but it wasn't until I moved to this area and started buying them for my own child that I realized the connection. |

I saw a Christmas themed small sleeve of Oreos at Target today. They have a section near the holiday stuff just for stocking stuffers. All manner of candy, chocolates, and other treats. The dollar spot area also has little activity books, pencils, pads of paper, that kind of thing. My kids also like chapstick, fuzzy socks, hair accessories, Whoopie cushions, etc. My favorite is the "bean boozled" box (at Target) of jelly beans. Some taste good, some taste like dog food, you never know what you'll get! |
