Yup we do them. We do similar items. sometimes little kitchen gadgets, spatulas, bottle stoppers, egg timers etc. World mkt has little tiny jars of foods and condiments and interesting candies that we add. always add tangerines and some nuts.

You made me remember! I always put a tangerine in the toe My mother always put a few whole walnuts in stockings, too.

The same kind of mommy, it seems

Edit! OMG, what a typo that was! I meant "kind" of mommy. Better change that fast!

the tangerines were always in the toe, and then lots of walnuts!====just joking about the mommy part.

I have stockings, but I haven't filled them in a while.

Here are types of gifts I have given (will give) coworkers- (similar prices).

This set (this year's gift) broken up-

Body butter in assorted scents- (I let them pick from a basket in our office)-

and lip butter-

Last year I made flax bags for stress/injuries that are microwaveable .

I love these, from Amazon.

I use them for grading.

I have gifted the giant Thermoserv mugs and reusable straws, like these: (this one holds 34 ounces!)

Other stocking stuffer things I think of are:

hand sanitizer or soaps-

card games- travel games, decks, dice games

fun or cozy socks- (Land's End)

office supplies- Post Its, four color crayons/pencils, stickers

teas or cocoas

nuts-

good chocolate-

keychain or bumper sticker from favorite team

movie tickets

rolled up magazine

puzzle book- crossword, word search, sudoku

Salux cloth-

Oh my goodness, thank you all for your responses. Stocking ideas are more difficult for me than the wrapped gifts I give. My family had stopped the stockings until my granddaughter was born. Now, we all have stockings again. Colliemom3, thanks for the laugh. I can see the confusion.

Yeah, you gave me a giggle

My husband and I talk every year about filling stockings for each other and then, much to his relief, I decide against it.

I blushed to myself when I saw it, just moments ago

Re: possible stockings at your house. Do you have a World Market where you live? All you have to do there is stroll the aisles and pick out little things you know will be appreciated. I've bought those tiny little jars of food things for DH every year. Once I got a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce for him to use at work. I also get a fancy sugar-free chocolate bar there for his stocking.
