DH loves Christmas stockings, so much he abandoned the 'regular' ones and now we all have extra Jumbo sized ones. He is so hard to buy for let alone little stuff.

He usually goes to the $ store and fills my stocking but I wish he wouldn't....I certainly don't mean to sound ungrateful. But he gets me some things I absolutely can't use - the generic body wash, bubble bath, soap, that kind of stuff...it all gives me a rash! I've tried telling him and for some reason he doesn't remember! Anyway, it's not that I don't shop at the $ store either, I do mostly for seasonal items so it isn't that.

Anyway, I kind of got away from the point of this thread. I need to fill a JUMBO stocking for DH and I need ideas. He is into woodworking, he's a Trekkie, he loves gizmos and gadgets, and we loves nuts and bolts and things like that, also candles. Well I guess I've come up with some even now. But any help would be great!!

Check out stuff at the Sharper Image store, its a Trekkie's dream come true. My bf loves that store.

Thank you for posting this thread. My DH is also into a lot of the things yours is. I got a lot of ideas from it. I usually put things in his stocking that he dosen't normaly get. like, chocolate covered cherries, a can of smoked oysters, a music cd, and his favorite salted peanutes in the shell.
Hope this triggered more ideas!
