I keep seeing them for iPhones only. Is that true? Why would they not work on android? I'm not sure. I did see it on on iphone charger. I was wanting one for the ipad, but I want for my android. I'll have to ask the lady I know on Monday.

I plan to fill kids stockings this year with cell phone accessories. Seems like they use their phones more than anything else.
I was thinking some of these:
Selfie light Camera lens Portable charger Stylis Phone case Itunes gc Dry bag

I didn't see them but Coscto was CRAZY and the store had only been open for twenty minutes. It's entirely possible that I missed them due to the insanity! "Costco on a weekend?" Answer: "Somewhere you'll never find MichyM." You're braver woman than I. Ha ha ha! Same here! There are a few things I need from there and DH is out of town so I could really go whenever, but instead of going on the weekend with a whiny DD in tow, I thought the better of it and figured I could just run over one day this week when it won’t be so crazy (and without aforementioned kid who hates shopping). Costco on a weekend is its own 7th level of hell, but when you have to bring a kid who really doesn’t want to be there? Truly unbearable!

Costco on a weekend is its own 7th level of hell, but when you have to bring a kid who really doesn’t want to be there? Truly unbearable! We always go on weekends, but right when they open. We are in and out of the store in twenty minutes. Today was its own special brand of hell. The store had been open for 20 minutes and there was no parking. Nada. I'm thinking the time change (people were already up and ready to go an hour early) and the 1:00 Seahawks game had something to do with it...

It could have been the game and it could also be that for some reason this year Black Friday sales started the day after Halloween. Not only on Thursday, but everywhere we went on Friday and Saturday it was crazy too. I was kind of annoyed because had I known how many places were going to have insane one day deals, I could have snagged some stuff that I actually needed.

What a great idea. I put one for each of my kids in my cart. I know that neither of them have a shredder and I imagine neither will get one.

My daughter is 16 and going to Spain for a month this summer as an exchange student. A week traveling with her group in Northern Spain then three weeks living with a host family. Any good ideas for a trip like that? Three things to add: 1) Some kind of RFID protected travel wallet for her passport. I use one like this: www.amazon.com/Travel-Passport-Document-Organizer-Zipper/dp/B01IDER81I/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1541505994&sr=8-20&keywords=travel+rfid+wallet while my mom uses that style that is sold as a neck pouch but it was long enough for her to use it as a cross body purse. She was surprised how much fit inside and it had a metal cable in the strap to help with theft prevention. I carried mine like a clutch with my wrist through the strap most of the time. 2) A TSA accepted luggage lock like this one: www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Combination-TSA-Accepted-4680DBLK/dp/B000669482/ref=sr_1_6_acs_ac_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541506930&sr=8-6-acs&keywords=TSA+luggage+lock3) A reuseable shopping bag in a pouch. European shoppers bring their own bags for shopping and it might also be convenient as a way of bringing goodies back from Europe on the plane. These ones are fun but there's some for all tastes: www.amazon.com/YUYIKES-Reusable-Grocery-Shopping-Convenient/dp/B073R8PJR3/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541507057&sr=8-3&keywords=shopping+bag+in+a+pouch I found mine in my local health food store. This might be an idea for your son MichyM too. Last year, I got the packable down blankets from Costco for everyone's car. They are surprisingly warm for being so light weight and come with a mini stuff sack. Super easy to throw in the trunk! I saw those at Costco yesterday. I wish I'd thought about them as a car blanket. Can down still keep you warm when wet the way wool does though? Either way I may need to get them so my kids stop stealing my throw! I didn't see them but Coscto was CRAZY and the store had only been open for twenty minutes. It's entirely possible that I missed them due to the insanity! "Costco on a weekend?" Answer: "Somewhere you'll never find MichyM." You're braver woman than I. We ended up there on a Saturday night once, it was dead! LOL So if you go on a weekend, go about an hour or two before they close on Saturday! I find this to be true on weeknights too. I was surprised how busy it was yesterday late morning during the week! I plan to fill kids stockings this year with cell phone accessories. Seems like they use their phones more than anything else. My mom and I found a little fan that attaches to cell phones!

Color Street 100% nail polish stripsAbove are just a few designs. Check out my link above to see all the gorgeous designs Color Street has to offer! Spolier: I just became a consultant for this company. Order through my link and I will send you a free set of accent nails (for two nails, or 4 if you are able to cut them in half! The best deal is to buy 3 nail polish strips and you get the 4th set free! If your nails aren't super long (like mine in the first picture) you can cut the strips in half. I get two manicures out of one set, or a manicure and a pedicure. Shipping charges are minimal on your order. (I only paid $3 for my order of 4 sets and I think it was the same for 8 sets! I didn't go beyond that in my cart.) These are great stocking stuffers! If you buy 3 sets at $13 ea, getting the 4th for free and cut these in 1/2, each custom manicure you give yourself is less than $5! Video links on how to apply your strips! Attachments:

I bought one for my son last year and he loved it. He says a shredder takes up too much room so this is a viable alternative. I kept one for myself and I use it on my prescription bottles. Some of the things I picked up this year: mini bottles of silicon lubricant for their car doors mini spray bottles of lock lubricant " hanging trash containers for their cars lint rollers lighters for lighting candles shoe bags for traveling (I bought a 4 pack and they're each getting one) mini tape measures on a key chain, they are only 6' but I use mine all of the time in the house special ink pens that they like lottery tickets and numerous things already listed by previous enablers.

Great thread, I’m always on the lookout for good ideas for stocking stuffers. Thinking maybe of getting DD a pink stun gun since she's living in a new apartment. I’ll take “Things you’d never hear in Australia” for $50 Alex! 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m necessarily opposed to the idea, but there’s no way they’d be legal here so your post made me chuckle. Heck, we’re not even allowed to have capsicum (pepper) spray here! it's regulated by state. Stun guns are illegal in my state, which frankly I find ridiculous. I can buy a gun, that will actually kill someone, but not a device that will just shock then enough to get away from them...

How about a heated mouse pad for freezing cold offices? This just popped up in my FB feed and of course I had to share it here!
eta: so apparently the mouse hand warmers are a thing! I've never seen one before this but I went back to the amazon page and scrolled down and there are a bunch of them- some of them are very cute too!

I think I will get Le Glue for DS7 who is Lego obsessed (temporary glue that keeps creations from falling apart, but washes off w/o damaging the bricks). He usually gets a minifigure, a Matchbox car or a Roblox guy. For the study abroad kids - travel hand sanitizer, makeup face wipes, all sorts of mini toiletries, mini 1st aid kit (have been stuck w/ blisters walking on Sundays in Europe when everything's closed - carry bandaids with you!). DD will probably get some unicorn makeup brushes. She usually gets LipSmackers lip balms as well. Usually for adults I get pens & lipbalms. Kids will likely get socks/gloves/mittens too. Love this thread!

You may have initially posted this as a joke, but I WANT ONE! So many times in the cooler months I'll be in my office Peaing or Photoshopping, and my hands get freezing. This would be perfect!

First I thought I would never use it and then I thought perfect for labels on boxes that have my address and tracking code - as long as they don't have packing tape this would work

I just saw some Archie McPhee "clamdy canes"--clam flavored candy canes. The horror, the horror. ETA: They also come in macaroni and cheese, bacon, dill pickle and rotisserie chicken.

I just heard of this concept this week--I totally need one! My laptop/scrapbooking desk is in the basement and while I can keep warm with an electric blanket on my lap, my mouse hand is another story.

Even though we are only a couple of weeks away from summer, it was quite cool in my office here last night (or should I say the early hours of the morning at 1am), and I had to put a hot water bottle on my lap to keep warm. I don't have a fancy schmancy electric blanket.

I am having pup socks made for my husband! Pup socks I just received my sock order and they turned out great! Thanks for the tip! You can even see my dog's eyes (he has brown eyes in a black face mask). Of course, I chose a photo that showed his eyes, but I wasn't sure how that would translate to socks. Coincidentally, there is a Groupon for these right now, if anyone else is interested. It appears to be selling quickly. Thanks again, meriannj
