Stocking stuffers for gals

[MerryPoppins]

The stocking stuffers for guys thread was so great that I thought I'd ask if you had any ideas for the gals on your list?

I often do fingernail polish, lip gloss or lip balm, hair stuff, lotions, jewelry. What else do you throw in besides candy?

We do secret stockings for the adults where everyone draws a name and does a stocking for that person.

For the ladies, I have given cute dish towels or pot holders, kitchen gadgets or utensils, recipe cards, notepads, small picture frames, candles, and drawer sachets.

I used to go all out on the stocking stuffers for my DDs (21 & 14), now I just put there smaller gifts and some candy in their stockings. Usually dvds, or perfume, whatever will fit in it. Gift cards are always a plus in my house. I like to carry Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts gift cards in the car with me.

OK...I do stockings for my Mom (70) and Grandmother (92) so they're geared for the "mature" ladies out there.

Flameless Candle Refills (can't use real candles because of oxygen)
Denture stuff (exciting, I know)
Playing Cards
CD's
DVD's
Gift Cards to fast food
Coffee Singles or One-Pot Coffee Packs
Tea Bags
Cute Socks - decorative for Mom or the grippy kind for Nana
Candy
Vitamins
Dish Towels, Kitchen Goodies

If anyone has ideas for an older gals stocking I'd be happy to hear them since I'm tired of the same old stuff! (so are they probably)

Hmmm, let's see, things I've gotten in my stocking that were a huge hit....

cross stitch books and embroidery floss (I used to cross stitch a lot)
beads, wire, findings, books (I'm into making beaded flowers, jewelry and 3D objects)

If I think of anything else, I'll come back

Hey, should someone start a thread for what NOT to give?

It just occured to me that after all the work many women end up doing for the holidays -- shopping, baking, cleaning, arranging, diplomacy, teeth gritting -- that the best thing to put in their stockings would be peppermint foot lotion and many, many little bottles of liquor.

jewelry
nail polish
hair brush
water bottle (maybe, might be too big)
carabiner clips (I use these for all kinds of stuff)
pretty stationary
