Orange, apple, mixed nuts you have to crack, a favorite candy (life savers, gummi worms, fruit pastels for kids, toblerone, godiva truffles, or chocolate liqueurs for adults), the chocolate orange, silly putty, little old fashioned game like jacks or marbles, an age appropriate comic book, a hot wheels car, something annoying like a recorder, whoopee cushion, or train whistle, an itunes card, chapstick, travel/magnetic games, flavored chapstick, a lottery ticket for adults, just little stuff. But somewhere down in the toe....a wrapped gift that is special. This could be a watch, concert tickets, or something that's a surprise, but sentimental. Whatever small things that would also be hard to wrap. Something in reference to an inside joke is always good. This year I'm sneaking a little baggy of FAKE dog poo that I found at a joke shop into my bff's son's stocking, because it references a little running joke we have. Stuff from a joke shop (the gum wrapper with the "trap", the squirting flower, the hand buzzer, they're lame but still classic with the younger boys). Books small enough to fit in the stocking are good.
