10 Gizmos and Gadgets = Super Stocking Stuffers!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is the Christmas stocking. I remember my very first stocking, crafted by the loving hands of my mother. Every year, as I place it on the mantle, I am filled with cherished memories.

However, my children are not quite old enough to be nostalgic. They say the best part of hanging their stockings is the cool gifts they find inside.

I know many families, like mine, enjoy the “sport” of finding great gadgets and gizmos to stuff in their Christmas stockings. So to help you, I asked my sales staff in the Ace Housewares building for their super stocking stuffer ideas. Come by Davis Ace and let us gift wrap these gadgets for you free of charge!

Kitchen Timers-“Available in animal shapes and garlic, lemon or tomato, they bring fun into every kitchen.” Julia

Rabbit Wine Bottle Stoppers-“These colorful, rubber wine stoppers come two in a box, so you can double your giving with a single purchase!” Marlene

Onion Saver-“These come in white, yellow or purple and look just like an onion. A much better way to store onions than a plastic baggie.” Gretchen

Bag Cap-“Such a handy gizmo. It turns every bag into a reusable container. Love that!” Tootie

Microplane Grater-“As a personal chef, this is one of my favorite gadgets and is a must for every kitchen! I love to grate hard cheeses over my pasta or add a citrus zest to my recipes. Also, use it for garlic, ginger, chocolate…the uses are endless!” Judi

BBQ/Fireplace Lighters-“These are not those boring, plain lighters. They’re available in many shapes to suit any hobby…cue stick, fishing pole, golf club, hunting rifle, and more!” Daniel

Mobile Phone Charging Shelf-“Aren’t you always looking for a place to charge your phone besides the floor? Everyone needs one of these. Great colors and made in the USA.” Miguel

Cookie Scoop-“A great stocking stuffer since it has so many uses. Not only is it perfect for cookie dough, but for melons, ice cream and meatballs too!” Denise

Firewire Flexible Grilling Skewer-“This flexible 100% stainless steel cable makes marinating and grilling easy. It holds twice as much as a regular skewer and clean up is a snap because it is dishwasher safe.” Kyle

Epicurean Large Turner-“Manufactured from eco-friendly fiber in the USA, this turner is also dishwasher safe and heat resistant to 350 degrees. As a certified chef, I highly recommend this product!” Brian

A Chocolate Lump of Coal-“Put a piece of this coal in everyone’s stocking. They’ll be glad you did.” Laura
