Socks. Most of us wear them daily, but let’s face it: they’re not that special. With the exception of fancy, patterned or sport-required socks, they’re little more than pieces of fabric to cover your feet. Yet when Christmas rolls around, socks take on a whole new meaning. They transform from poly-blend socks from a plastic package into oversized and magnificently adorned stockings. The best part is they’re filled with goodies instead of your feet! I love makeovers like that.

Check out these great ideas for the perfect stocking stuffer (or inexpensive gift) for everyone from your aunt to the Zumba-lover on your list.

Let’s not forget our friends of other faiths celebrating holidays like Chanukkah and Kwanzaa this December! How about gifting a flameless menorah (it’s musical!) or a Kwanzaa-themed cookbook?

Many of these gifts may not fit inside the ordinary vessel you’d hang on your mantle, so you may have to get creative with wrapping and think outside the stocking! Did I forget to include someone on your list? Check out gifts.com to find the perfect present for everyone on your list!
