Recently, I posted about starting my shopping for stocking stuffers, and I’ll add a link to that post at the bottom of this post. I was able to add a few more stocking stuffers to the batch, but not many (by choice).
- I mentioned in that post that I might order a Hellrasier “Pinhead” LEGO person from Etsy for my brother-in-law, and I went ahead and ordered it late Tuesday night. It’s going to take a few weeks to arrive, so I wanted to get it ordered as soon as possible.
- The kiddos (including the older kiddos) all like those “squishy” toys that are found in various stores. And they’re exactly what they sound like; you can squeeze and “squish” them. They can be used as knick-knacks, stress relief, playtime, etc. Anyways, I found a pack of Halloween squishies for $3 at Target today, and it includes bats. I’ve been looking for some sort of bat item to include in my 19yr old niece’s stocking because she loves bats. With this pack, I can separate them between my nephew and three nieces, so that works.
I haven’t placed any other orders, or bought anything else, but I found a few Labyrinth (the movie) buttons and decals on Etsy to consider for my 21yr old nephew, after talking to him today. I went ahead and added them to my “Favorites” list so I don’t lose them.
I was also talking to my 10yr old niece about the stocking stuffers, and she wants a pack of marbles for some reason. Okay, that’s fine. I found a pack of 25 on Hobby Lobby’s website for only $1.29, so I asked my sister to grab them if she gets there before me, and I’ll pay her back. If they don’t all fit (as I’m not using full-sized stockings), I’ll just place a few in the stocking and give her the rest after all the presents are opened.
I would like to order the actual stockings soon. I was going to do it this weekend, but I’m not sure yet. I may just wait until next weekend because I have other, non-holiday related, expenses to take care of first. So we'll see what happens.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll have any more “Stocking Stuffers” post within the next few weeks. I’m just playing it by ear. As I said, I have other expenses so I need to chill with it right now.
I’ll be back soon for my next post. Take care! :)
P.S.: Here’s a link to the post I mentioned at the beginning of this post:

@shaggin That's true lol. I don't want to buy NKOTB marbles just to pack away because of limited space though. I prefer getting their apparel, accessories or books. And I've been checking the Dollar Tree, I haven't found any yet. I thought for sure I would though. I did find some on Hobby Lobby's website for $1.29, so I just need to make it out there. My sister goes every so often. :)

What's funny is the LEGO piece is actually adorable!
It is pretty cool. I'm on a hunt for them. Lol. I think I know where to get them though, I just haven't gotten to Hobby Lobby yet.
Oh man, my niece and I were laughing at some New Kids On The Block marbles from the 80s/90s. Of course, I love my boys, but I was like "What would I do with some NKOTB marbles?!" It's okay because even THEY were mortified at some of the stuff their faces were on back in the day lol.

There was always something even better than the packages under the tree (I must have been a strange child) but I loved pulling out all the tiny packages from the stocking!!
