As soon as Christmas hits the stores, my inner holiday addict starts to rear herself. I get over joyed with twinkling lights, smells of trees & wreaths, carols & anything else that slightly resembles Santa himself.
I love getting to give gifts and stuff stockings full of love & cheer, but let's be honest, candy is something I try to steer clear of. Benjamin has enough energy & I'm really working hard to limit our added sugar intakes; sugar has done a number on my skin health. Plus I'm pretty sure my brother & his wife appreciate not bringing home a mountain of candy from every holiday. I still purchase some food items like popcorn & jerky, because those are always well received.
I've been trying to be creative & reach outside the Christmas box when it comes to stocking stuffers for everyone & have come up with some pretty great items, or so I like to believe. I found most of my stocking stuffers this year in the Target Dollar Spot, my home away from home & Home Goods/TJ Maxx.
