…Gourmet chocolate is perfect, especially for a wife who appreciates the intricacies of gourmet food. Gadgets will fit snugly in a stocking, or batteries stuffed inside will hint that a wrapped electronic may be on its way. Cosmetics or trinkets are also a nice gift for a wife or daughter. Lotions and other beauty products, make excellent stocking stuffers as well. Hot chocolate mix, coffees, or teas are welcome additions to the stocking, and a new mug will complete the gift.

Stockings are one of the most ancient traditions related to Christmas. The perfectly stuffed stocking is the beginning of a wonderful Christmas day, and a small way to say “I love you,” to a spouse, or instill your child's belief in Santa and the magic of Christmas.
