These are a Few of My Favorite Things | Stocking Stuffers
linked with elise Growing up, my mom always gave us the most practical things in our stockings–except one year when my sister and I got oranges in our stockings. We thought it was the coolest thing ever that Santa would leave us oranges {we were young}! But most years, she would throw in things like makeup, shaving cream, shampoo and conditioner, and even deodorant and then a TON of our favorite candy. I’ve always loved getting this type of gift because I’m all about practical gifts, especially now that I’m older and have to buy all these things for myself!
