Yes, it is time for those ideas for the stockings. You want something nice, but depending on the size of the stocking the cost could add up dramatically. Let me help you with some great ideas!!
So many workers must wear a badge, key card, or ID of some sort; but let's make sure they do it with style!
Here's a great little recycle, reuse, re-purpose piece for those 'Green' thinkers--utilizing vintage material and a vintage earring to make this little reel badge holder a treasure to wear to work. This was found at
Kady's Pet Couture. This gives you a chance to match the person with their pet's collar!!
They also some some cute wristlet key chains available in holiday looks, vintage chic, or sports:
Kady's has many sports teams including College teams!! Just ask if you don't see what you want.
Now I found this great little wristlet purse in
gmPurseanalities and I think it will fit in many of those stockings! What fun to tuck some chapstick, gift card, or just a little green inside then roll and put it in the stocking.
Oh, perfect item to make your stockings smell nice!! I found some handmade soaps from
Soap Rehab. You choose four for one price, then split them up for your stockings!! My husband has been using these soaps and has decided they are the best!! Now he is strictly a handmade soap man.
Next I found some luscious handmade perfume from
Aquarian Bath and I know first hand that these are nice. I love Patchouli!! You can choose the perfect smell for your stocking recipients.
Check out her shop for more yummy items, all perfect size for tucking into a holiday stocking. Or just a small, but loving, gift for a co-worker, post person, nurse, babysitter, teacher, ugh, the list is long!
Last year I added one of these microwave bowl holder in all my gifts. I absolutely love these things and use mine all the time. My husband and I each have one for those leftover soup nights!! Works great from
HandmadeBits4U and she said it works for ice cream as well.
I found these great sprays from
ShantiAromatherapy and I know some will think it funny, but if you have ever had hot flashes you will treasure this bottle. Also, I'm thinking it would be good to take on those holidays to Florida, Mexico, Alabama, or wherever it is hot and stifling at times. Just a spritz. What a welcome gift this will be!!
Great idea for those little cards we need to carry with us and we just don't want to take a purse with us to the library, or wherever we may be heading. These are recycled comics so that young person will LOVE this and will use it!
Japip has a superb collection of these with bag tags, little wallets, and awesome coasters.
These are just a few of the women artists from
Unique Women in Business. Stop by their sites to get your last minute shopping completed. I'll try to pick some more fun items tomorrow!!
