- Traditional Christmas Stocking Stuffers: Traditionally, stockings were stuffed with an orange, which was a citrusy treat but also a sign of prosperity, as oranges were something of a rarity in early America.

Some favorite ideas are: Silly Putty, temporary tattoos, naughty decks of cards, small puzzles, a hand-sized Etch-a-Sketch, brightly-colored fuzzy pens and tree ornament earrings.
