I got all my kids power banks that you wall charge and they recharge with a solar panel, until you can plug them in again. I'll test one out before I post a link, but the reviews seem promising.

And the Kohl's throws are on sale today. I got them for $7.20 each. Free shipping. I also ordered the towel sets. Pretty sure they aren't a great quality, but I needed guest towels (8 sets) and I got 24 towels for $40, so I am happy.
I think the white snowflake throw is new. Looks pretty.

Seconding the sugru suggestion: I bought some for DH’s stocking last year & he just looked at me weird but DS (20) has been converted & he & I have both used it for random jobs, so much so, I’m getting him some of his own for his stocking this year!

I love filling stockings. More so than giving the gifts themselves.
I have teens, and I have younger kids, so in no particular order:
Lip balm
Face masks (Dollar Tree has the Yes To brand right now in several scents/types. The exact same ones that Rite aid has for $3.99 each currently.
Silly putty (Walgreens has mystery scents. It comes in a white egg. My kids are all about the mystery/ blind bag toys)
Flarp noise putty
Small Lego sets and minifigures.
Pez
Scrunchies and hair elastic
Ear buds & headphones.
Scented color pencils/markers

I bought a bunch last year for our local "helpline," and just did the same again

LOVE this! Added it to my list for my sons girlfriends stocking. A fun thing I found at Target was an animal beauty sheet mask. She loves kitties, so the cat sheet mask will be fun with the ear headband. And for anyone who needs new stockings, I just got my order of basic velvet monogrammed stockings from Pottery Barn and they are so pretty! My sons girlfriend is celebrating with us this year, so I ordered them both new stockings personalized with their names on them so they would match. They are currently on sale and free shipping.

It's not groundbreaking, but I have bought two new flavors of burt's bees lip balm this year: chai tea and ginger lime. I bought the chai for myself and tried it, and liked it a lot, so I bought one for my sister for the holidays. And then I spotted ginger lime, which is one of my favorite combos (soap, diet coke, candles), so I bought it for my own stocking, but have not tried it yet. I first found the chai at target, and then both at WalMart. I was surprised that I liked the chai one, because I don't like most of their flavored balms. And if you're at WalMart anyway, mine usually has a display of sheet masks for $3 each, if your DD is in to that. TFS! I am now on the hunt for the chai flavor! me too!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are kind of creepy (I watch too many horror movies with faces coming through walls) and neat at the same time! Thanks!

Last year on the peas suggestions I bought the gloves with the special fingertips that you can use on phones/devices. I also bought portable chargers with built in cords for phones and devices. Both were big hits. It will be hard to beat those in the stockings this year.

I'm thinking food storage purposes -- instead of plastic wrap, foil, etc. Certainly more environmentally friendly than the alternative.

Bridget in MD, I use them when I'm heating something in the microwave to both prevent splatters and help the food cook faster. For example, if I'm steaming vegetables, I'll cover the bowl with a silicone cover instead of plastic wrap. I re-heat soup in the microwave frequently, and if I cover the bowl it heats more quickly and doesn't splatter.
You can also use them for food storage in the fridge.

I just discovered cable bites the other day. The first thing to go on our chargers is the cord fraying near the adapter. Cable Bites

I am thinking of one of those small heaters that will heat a room that they could carry in their luggage in case the end up somewhere not too warm.
