Tacoma Christmas - Stocking Dec. 2nd

Stockings. In some families they are an afterthought. But in mine, they are the real deal. Not just candy and dollar store finds. Stuffing a stocking well takes just the right blend of creativity, luck and persistence. For everyone who wonders what on earth to put in them, here are some ideas:

Apron
Does your sweetie enjoy cooking? Or do you just like the idea of her in a cute apron? (Whatever floats your boat man.) A variety of stylish aprons are available at Dwell and would be a great stocking stuffer for a lady. Probably not a good choice for gentlemen.

CD’s or DVD’s
For a stuffer that’s both green AND affordable visit Buzzard’s. This store is packed with used (and new) CDs, DVDs, records and VHS. Perfect for any media lover in your life.

Kitchen Utensils
Any wannabe or true gourmet would be delighted to find kitchen gadgets in their stocking. Urban Gourmet has a great selection of utensils, gadgets and spices to liven up any stocking.

    Whitney,
    Thanks for the great stocking stuffing ideas. They were and still are big in my family even tho the children are now adults at least most of the time!)Keep the ideas coming. I hope all is well. I miss seeing everyone at Bocce. My son, Matt, has moved to Tacoma so we are one person closer to beating out Spokane as “second city”. You young people need to get busy and procreate! I am finished.

    Proud to have purchased only Tacoma for holiday gifts for the past 5 years or so.
