My favorite stocking stuffers just happen to be gift cards so what a perfect way to give them. I also loved getting scratch off lottery tickets. I never win but it is fun to play.

Love your mitten template.. will definitely try it soon.
My fave stocking stuffer was a pair of diamond earrings. I took forever getting to them though as I just had my first baby!!!

Love your mitten cards. The candy lane card is my favorite ... the colors really pop. Thanks for sharing the template - I think I'll make a bunch for teacher gifts! :)

Carolina, these are wonderful and the gift card was/is a perfect fit. My favorite stocking stuffer...well 1st I love my stocking that I've had since an infant (my P-Grandmother made it), but to go in it I love getting a new, exotic type of fruit every Christmas--tradition.
Thank you,
Kerry

This is absolutely adorable and now I know how to present my giftcards this year to make them a little more festive and fun to open.
My favorite stocking stuffer was the year I was old enough to have my very own house key it was in the stocking on a chain.

Carolina, hello....my favorite stocking stuffer: Life Savers book of candy. We got it EVERY YEAR! Loved it. Gave it to my son also. Your stocking card holder is darling!

Growing up, it was tradition to recieve marzipan in the shape of a pig. This was good luck for the new year ahead!
Posted by: Karin | December 01, 2009 at 05:51 AM
I really can't remember a favorite stocking stuffer however, I do love the look on my children's faces as they open theirs. I remember fruit, chocolate and sometimes a toy or jewelry item. Just going through it was a thrill. Love the gift holder, thank you for sharing.

This is so stinking cute! Kathy B.

My favorite stocking stuffers have always been gift cards to my favorite scrapbooking stores
Posted by: Marla Greydanus | November 30, 2009 at 09:10 PM
Really enjoyed this project. Wish I could remember that far back - but I can't. If I was still getting stockings, I believe my favorite would be gift cards so I could buy more "stuff".
Posted by: LindaS | November 30, 2009 at 07:22 PM
Hi Carolina, Didn't think I would like anything more than last weeks ornament, but this one is certainly right up there too!
My favorite stocking stuffer was a horse pencil sharpener when I was 6.
Posted by: Marilyn Bronson | November 30, 2009 at 04:29 PM
I adore this Carolina, so cute.
I have gotten so much in my stocking over the years, that was my favorite part of Christmas, my Mom would always fill it with girlie stuff, pens, paper, crafty stuff, makeup.....my dh fills it with fun stuff too, and he always includes a Starbucks gift card....yummy.
