Stocking stuffers for the Disney fan
When you’re filling a kid’s Christmas stocking, it’s pretty easy. Small toys and candy canes are enough to fuel the Christmas morning frenzy. With adults, it’s a bit harder. Sure, you can fill a stocking to the brim with jewelry, but that’s not really practical, is it?
One classic idea: Ornaments. Check out Disney Store choices at the link, or visit a Hallmark or Barnes & Noble store. Both have Frozen ornaments, which might be just the trick this holiday season.
Here are a few more things we’ve come across that would fit in a stocking without breaking the bank:
Make your Disney fan feel official with a personalized Disney World pen ($15).
You can have it personalized with up to 22 characters.
Takes 1-2 weeks for delivery, so don’t dawdle.
Add something fun to write on with an Olaf sticky note cube ($10.76 at Amazon.com).
Does she try to hide her villainous side? She can hide it under her sneakers
with these Disney villain no-show socks from Hot Topic (set of 5, $10.15).
Wrap them separately to really fill up her stocking with socks.
Next time you throw a party, you’ll get plenty of attention with
this Millennium Falcon bottle opener ($19.99).
I had to include some candy in this list: Han Solo Carbonite Chocolate ($9.99).
This little beauty is just small enough to tuck in a stocking: Vera Bradley all-in-one crossbody bag ($65), which may be better described as a wallet on a string. It’s big enough to hold cash,
cards and change, in addition to your phone in a pocket on the front. The Mickey pattern
is subtle — the classic icon is at the center of some of the flowers.
Along the same lines, there’s a Vera Bradley cell phone crossbody bag ($40).
Unlike the bag above, this one is primarily a way to carry your phone, with a slim
pocket for you to carry a little cash and a couple of cards.
Is he tired of white earbuds but not quite ready to go full headphone? Try themed earbuds ($11.25 at Amazon). These come in a variety of styles, including Avengers (above), Hulk, Iron Man, Jack Skellington, Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Phineas and Ferb (Perry, actually).
For those who like their ear buds — or who would prefer to choose their own — we
found this handmade Mickey Mouse earbud holder on Easy ($4.99).
For those who are either Disney World regulars or who are planning a trip, you can
help them dress up their MagicBands with Magic sliders ($14.95). We’ve found that the MagicBandits that just pop on to your band also pop off really easily if they get caught
on something, so these are much more secure.
And finally … I’ve taken to traveling everywhere, both for work and pleasure,
with a little stuffed Eeyore clipped to my bag. I text pictures home of Eeyore at the office,
or the airport, or wherever I happen to be. So if you have a loved one who travels — and isn’t
averse to showing their Disney Side — think about putting a small Disney plush in his or
her stocking. You can find a small Eeyore beanbag plush or a plush keyring at Amazon.com.
Of course, if Eeyore doesn’t have the right vibe, there’s always Mickey.
