Every year, without fail, I leave my gift shopping until the last minute and I battle with the crowded stores and never-ending line ups. Hopefully, you are more organized than I am but if not I've put together a few last-minute stocking stuffers that will impress anyone on your list!
Essentials
You are never too old to need new socks, underwear, and deodorant! This is always the running joke around our house, as Christmas gets closer everyone has to hold on for just a little while longer so they can get the essentials in their stocking.
Games
We love spending time together playing games. Our stack keeps growing and we are always on the hunt for something fun to bring to our next family game night. A current favorite is Timeline Canada, not only is it quick and fun to play but it is portable too.
The game is simple to play all you have to do is put events in order of year they happened. They've thought of everything from the 1st indoor hockey game (1875) to the creation of CBC (1936). With 55 cards that have different events, Timeline Canada will keep you entertained!
Instax Mini Film
We all take photos but rarely do we have them printed. That's about to change with this fun gift! Whether you have an Instax Printer or the new FUJIFILM Instax Mini LiPlay, Instax Mini Film are a great addition to any stocking. You can find holiday packs at Staples, Walmart and online.
We love printing photos and sending them in holiday, birthday or everyday cards. Photos are a great way to stay connected with others and they add a fun personal touch.
Pop Sockets
I didn't realize how useful these were until I saw my family using them. What I like most about Pop Sockets is they drop their phones less. You can also take selfies easier, use the Pop Socket as a stand to prop your phone up for easy viewing and it folds flat so isn't in the way when you don't need it.
There are a wealth of designs available or you can easily create your own. This is one gift I preplanned so we can all have one. They are available at Staples, Best Buy and The Source.
Gift Cards
With the popularity of streaming, making online purchases and using our phones for payment giving gift cards is always appreciated. You can find gift cards for almost everything from retail stores to online shopping and even spa services.
While these stocking stuffer ideas aren't outside the box they are simple enough to throw together if you're a last-minute shopper like me.
What's your favorite stocking stuffer?
