I read this thread every year too! My adult DDs are all getting portable fans "Alluan Handheld Fan Mini Fan" to take to concerts, sporting events and the flat wallets "Leatherboss Genuine Leather wallet" with DL on one side and CC holders on the other. Not good at posting pictures, the wallets are around $10 on Amazon. Also Laniege Lip Mask and Satin Pillowcases.

Son likes to get New York Seltzers
We do a lot of the ones mentioned before such a favorite candy, gift card, jerky etc.
Was thinking of these reusable ice cube sticks as son and grandson love their stainless steel water bottles.
Ice Cube Sticks They have them at Amazon, but couldn't get the Amazon link to work.
Love to find that unique something each year, so love following this thread.

I bought my DH one of those beanie caps with the headlamp? It was kind a a joke, really, but he LOVES that thing. He wears it when he’s grilling on the deck or doing things in the basement or under the sink where he needs a flashlight. I don’t remember where I got it, but it was about $10. I see there are some at Walmart and Amazon around that price, plus more expensive models.
Thanks to whomever suggested the AirTags up above. I’m checking those for DH.

Ugh. I give my girls an experience for Christmas each year, but I like to give them some stocking stuffers. Plus it's their birthday. One daughter is very easy to buy for, but the other does not like stuff and I try to respect that. This is what I'm getting the girls this year: - A credit-card-sized power pack (I haven't chosen which one yet)
- Apple Air Tags
- makeup
- Shutterfly note pads with pictures of the pups on them
- sock and underwear (I make these both fun)
- Shutterfly small notebooks with pictures of them with their brother
Here is what I have gotten in the past that was well-received: Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza - funny, easy-to-learn and quick game Qwixx - one of my favorite games. Also easy to learn, but you can strategize. I've gifted it numerous times and it's a hit. Couch Coaster - these things are BRILLIANT. I laughed at my DD when she bought it, but I had been complaining about how she balanced her coffee on my couch (!!!!) and this thing works perfectly. Everyone who sees it at my house goes out and buys it. Not cheap ($25ish?), but great! Bendable Electric Lighter - Another one everyone loved. You cannot send it in the mail so I was stuck with 3 extras I was going to send to friends. They went like hotcakes when people saw how easy they were to use. Rechargeable, too! Cable Ties - some Pea suggested these last year and they were such a hit, I bought them for myself, too. They are great! I got ones you could write on. Bookmark - I'm doing a theme for a friend and this is such a funny bookmark - unless you don't like snakes! I'm getting her a custom book stamp as well. If you want something slightly more pricey, I've done Book of the Month and that was great. I think you can do 3 mos, which is likely $30 and they pick out the book they want when the time comes. Bookstamp - this is a part of the above-mentioned theme. your links just go to the amazon home page for me, but the cable ties - like zip ties?  ? why were they such a hit? I'm intrigued! |

I’m guessing that they are the reusable kind meant to keep all your computer/charging cables neat and together. Something like this: www.amazon.com/BALABALA-Reusable-Fastening-Microfiber-Electronics/dp/B082HKBDS8/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2BN4DH3AM0QB&keywords=Cable+ties&qid=1668357455&sprefix=cable+ties%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-5They also make bendy kinds - like rubber coated wire - which look really nice and you bend them around your cables. Like these: www.amazon.com/Original-Silicone-Steel-Core-Reusable-Organizing/dp/B084TZ4KM2/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2BHQNKP34885A&keywords=bendy+cable+ties&qid=1668357577&sprefix=Bendy+%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-4 |

I just cleared my cache and checked and they still go to the right page for me. Hopefully, you can find what you need. The cable ties are velcro and you can write what each wire is for. So in my office, I have no fewer than 10-12 cords going into my UPS. I just tie up the extra cordage with the velcro cable tie and write on it what it is. I think people just like a whole bunch of choices - I got it to stuff in stockings because it's big (and my kiddos have big stockings), and everyone loved it. |

My adult sons and daughter-in-law are obsessed with their pets so I ordered car air fresheners from Dangleit.com with each of their pet faces in them. They crack me up. I showed them to a friend and she ordered one for each of her adult children with her face on them which cracks me up even more.

I was in Kohls today and I walked past Men's on the way to shoes. They had several tables of t-shirts for $10. I grabbed a sprite (soda) one for SO. They're $8 after the coupon game... They are all various licensed themes: star wars, stranger things, marvel, DC comics, sone Harry Potter, Ted Lasso, soda brands, beer brands, car brands, other movies... There isn't just one listing so I did my best search and filter for a link. Bonus: results include licensed socks for I think under $7. link i hope |

I ordered custom car air fresheners. You can have them unscented if you wish as well. $16 for 3 (3 of the same), so this was a fun thing to get for a few people. Link! |

I shop for my adult kids and their partners. I told my husband I was going to stop stuffing stockings but he said the "kids" love it 🙄 Some ideas: -Terry's chocolate orange. Is that a thing in the US? It sure is: "Whack and unwrap." I'd call it an acquired taste. |

I make both of my mid twentysomething DDs a 24 day advent calendar in addition to stocking stuffers so I REALLY need ideas. So far I have gotten pimple patches, travel jewelry box I will put their names on with vinyl, foot peel mask, Laneige lip balm, custom photo lego bricks with family photos, custom photo air freshener with our dogs face, micellar make up wipes, metal nail file, dry makeup brush cleaning sponge for color change, iphone chargers, sweary affirmation cards and some candy. Still planning to get press on nail polish, lipstick, fidget toys, beaded bracelet and some inapproriate socks. Tell me more about the Lego bricks, please! |

HAHA. I have never met a person who makes underwear. I know people who knit socks and I think they are pretty amazing. I belong to a couple of custom fabric groups and while people don't knit underwear they do make underwear out of cotton Lycra. One of the bases offered is swim, and many people make swimsuits as well. |

There's some good options at Trader Joe's. I got my husband the taste test of caramels- it's a long skinny box so perfect size for a stocking. The Gummy Bear flavored lip duo would be perfect in stockings too and of course all the yummy treats or single bottles/cans of beer.

I made the mistake of buying a huge stocking for my DS when he was a baby. This year I'm rolling up a pair of those $5 pj's from Old Navy to take up most of the room. then a teeny light bright, chocolate coins (traditional in our family), and a steam gift card. He has very few interests & it's always a challenge to find interesting things. I love everyone's suggestions every year as most have been a hit for him.

I picked up DD the new winter Starbucks tumbler. It is red and metal instead of plastic. I used my Albertson's rewards I had saved up as well as their $5 black Friday coupon so got it for a few bucks!
