Stuff This!
Stocking stuffers for everyone on your list.
I always forget about stocking stuffers. Always. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run out on Christmas Eve to the 24-hour Walgreens so I could grab whatever junk was left on their picked over shelves.
I decided that I’m going to do better this year. I will get myself organized and I will get stocking stuffers before it’s too late. I ALSO will put them somewhere safe but write down that location so I don’t have a repeat of the year I lost Gomer’s Santa present.
If this email cuts off, you can click here and see the complete list on my site.

Banana Phone - Make all your calls more fun! Do it on a banana. This banana is Bluetooth enabled for Android and Apple. You can make phone calls or listen to music.
Personal Alarm - I used to carry pepper spray until someone smart reminded me that I’m pretty weak and I’d probably lose it in a fight and be used on me. Or, if I did get a chance to spray it, with my luck, the wind would blow pepper spray right back in my face. That’s why I like these personal alarms. They’re loud enough to scare someone away and attract the attention of helpers.
Shark Bracelet - When we were in San Diego this fall, Adolpha bought the turtle tracking bracelet. She’s all about fashion and saving the planet at the same time. She also likes to check in on her turtle to see where it is. Now she’d like a shark bracelet too.
Acne Patch - Whether you’re a teenager or menopausal, blemishes are cropping up and ruining your selfies. Put these pimple patches on your spots before bed and wake up with clearer-looking skin. No popping necessary!
Scrunchies - I believe you can never have too many scrunchies. These are silk, which prevents dents, frizzies, or creases.

TMJ Relief Massager - Gomer and I both suffer from TMJ and we’re always looking for relief. This gentle massager is supposed to reduce the tension with only 3-5 minutes a day. Sold!
Charcoal Shoe Deodorizers - I’m going to say it, our shoes stink. These bamboo charcoal deodorizers are safe for pets and people and have no scent. Plus, they last for two years with proper care.
Happy Nuts - Christmas is a time for nuts! Get your man some quality, long-lasting grooming products designed for below-the-belt care. Formulated specifically for the male body to prevent sweat, chafing, and odor.
Hair Scalp Massager - Adolpha is the self-care guru in our house and she loaned me her scalp massager the other day and I immediately put it on my Wishlist. I get it now. I’m hooked.
Cards Against Humanity Expansion Pack - Our family loves games, but especially inappropriate ones. We can count on toothpaste, socks, and Cards Against Humanity Expansion Packs in everyone’s stocking on Christmas morning every year.

Bath Bombs - When in doubt what to get your mom, always go for the bath bombs. Who doesn’t love a good luxurious soak after a long day? And they’re not just for the ladies! Gomer gets bath bombs in his stocking because he’s part fish like his mother.
Happy Curves - Top three things women my age complain about: boob sweat, chafing, and smelling a little ripe. This product will protect against sweat, odor, and chafing. It leaves a nice subtle fragrance to subdue odor. Aloe, coconut oil, and chamomile soothe your skin and provide all-day protection.
Beanie Wine Toppers - Who loves wine and laughing? Get them these wine toppers! I know you’re thinking, “When I open a bottle of wine I have to finish it.” But now you can put a hat on your bottle and save some wine for later.
Tweezers - Every single lady needs a good pair of car tweezers.
Satin Pillowcase - My hair was breaking and someone recommended I get a satin pillowcase. I don’t know if my hair is any better, but my sleep is. It’s like resting my head on a soft, smooth, buttery cloud. The next time I buy new sheets, I’ll throw out the pillowcases and replace them with these.

Click and Carry Grocery Bag Carrier - I am—and always will be—a one-tripper. This handy dandy tool can carry so much that my arm will give out before it does.
Car Insurance and Registration Holder - The gloveboxes on our cars are full of junk and I can never find the insurance and registration cards when I need them. This wallet has 7 clear pockets and a magnet close. I’m getting these for all our cars.
Car Cleaning Gel - There is something oddly satisfying about seeing this gel pull up all the crumbs, dust, and hair balls from the cracks and crevices of your car. On one hand you’re like, “Damn, we’re pigs.” But on the other hand you’re like, “Look at what it cleaned up! That’s so cool!”
Tire Pressure Gauge - The Hubs loves a good gadget and excellent tire pressure. I think this is exactly what he needs.

Sauce Clips - To dip or not to dip? That is the question when you’re eating in your car. That’s why you need these clips. They work with just about any vehicle and hold just about any sauce. No more spills or bland fries!
Meat Claws - Do you like shredded meat? Then get you some claws. For YEARS I struggled to shred meat with forks and then I got a pair of claws and my life was forever changed. Drop the forks and get the claws.
Jump Rope - New year, new me, blah, blah, blah. Seriously, though. We all need to start moving more. Or give this to your friend who loves to work out.
Chew Ring - As I sit here writing this, Stan the Mann Doggo is destroying yet another toy. He’s getting this ring in his stocking this year.
Pet Hair Remover - I am drowning in dog hair and I’m spending a fortune on lint rollers that barely get the job done. This thing has 6 tools in 1, it can fit into tight crevices, and get to embedded hair without damaging surfaces. Plus it’s reusable!

Bad Parking Cards - People park like idiots. That’s why once I clean out my glovebox, I’m going to put these in there. I want to make sure every single bad parker knows they need to do better.
People I Want to Punch in the Throat Journal - Everywhere I go, people tell me they have a list of people they want to punch, so I made a blank journal. Fill this up with anything you want from co-workers who piss you off to passwords you always forget to million dollar ideas.
Mindful Messages - I’m not known for my positivity, but I’m trying! I love these kinds of decks that use simple—yet thought-provoking—messages that promote mindfulness and self-care.
Fridge Poetry - You know I love words, so this would be an easy gift to get me, children (hint, hint). I love making up silly poems or phrases with this kind of stuff and look how many words this set has! I might write a whole book on my fridge.
Dirty/Clean Magnet - You wouldn’t think you’d need a magnet to tell you if the dishes in the dishwasher were clean or dirty, but you’d be wrong. The other day I pulled a dirty mug out of the cupboard. The Hubs had emptied and put away a whole load of dirty dishes. This is 100% going in his stocking.
I ordered 4 of the dog hair removers, They're a great idea, which I need help with. Thanks for the shopping lists!
Your TMJ is caused by stress causing clenching and grinding (worked in Oral Surgery for 16 yrs for the surgeon who devised a replacement for the disk) only way to make it better is to wear a bite guard every night. Your dentist can make one or you could at least pick up one at Walmart (not as good as the dentist will make, but better than nothing. When it really flares up, go to a soft diet (think mash potatoes) and try moist heat on the joint. Medical insurance hates it because there is no good permanent fix, but dental insurance usually cover the bite guard. GL
