Stockings are weird. According to
Wikipedia the whole stocking thing started when a man was too poor to provide for his three daughters at Christmas. Saint Nicholas was passing through town and heard of this predicament and crept through the chimney to place bags of gold in their stockings drying over the fireplace. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of telling this story so we're gonna move on. Before we do though, Saint Nicholas is creepy.... (no offense Santa), but let's get real. This guy... snuck into a house through a chimney? Then, he was checking out their stockings; it was like he left gold in them because he knew he was being a creeper. I'll let him creep as long as he leaves a '54 convertible too, light blue.
Since stockings are weird, we're gonna try to find things small enough and cool enough to go in them.
1. Engravable
Silver Plated Bookmark from Pottery Barn $12. It's under $15, and can be personalized. It looks like you put more thought into this gift than you actually have to.
2.
Ribbed Merino Glittens from J. Crew $24.50 - great for those with an IPhone, because you can use your fingers to touch the screen without having to take your gloves off.
3.
Luggage Tag ($9.99) from J. Crew.
Great for a traveler, and it comes in a variety of colors. Moreover, it's on sale; it was originally $20.
It's a limited edition lipstick and glitter lip balm and a portion of proceeds goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
5.
Westbury Lisa Wallet from Kate Spade ($89 + free shipping from katespade.com) Although a bit pricier, it's a nice surprise to have a pricey gift in your stocking.
