In Christmases past, I have relied on the ol’ standbys for stocking stuffers — candy and cheap, plastic junk that takes up space. In the end, the stocking-stuffer pile would look like the dollar store took over our living room! So this year, I came up with Christmas stocking stuffer ideas that are neither plastic nor candy! Here is my list:
1. Card games (Go Fish, Old Maid, Uno, etc.)
