I know, silly to ask. Time to stuff a few stockings. There are several theories to stocking stuffers, whether they involve real stockings. Some say it's fun to save stockings for the big-ticket items, like diamonds, cash or the keys to a new car. Others believe stockings are best filled with the traditional candy, fruit and toys.
Stockings are the place to indulge in practical ways.
Think of things people use every day but don't buy themselves. Paperwhites, hyacinth and amaryllis bulbs come ready to sprout in boxed pots, dirt included. Perfect as a hostess gift. Smaller is better here, as most people already have big bowls. Simple ceramic bowls are beautiful enough to stay on the counter and fill with fruit.
