As we finish up the last of our Thanksgiving leftovers, our attention must turn to the gift-giving portion of the holiday season—and that means starting to hunt for the perfect stocking stuffers. If you’re in something of a rut, though, giving the same chocolates and hot-sauce variety packs year after year, here are a few fresh options to consider.
Personalized Socks With Pictures and Text, $7
Why give them yet another photo mug when your mug can be staring back at them from their very own feet? It is a simple fact that no one can resist a pair of socks adorned with the faces of their partner, kids, or pets.

During an age in which there are so many TV show and movie options to choose from, maybe it’s easier and more exciting to leave it up to chance. With this scratch-off movie bucket list, they’ll enjoy a surprise “iconic” film to watch on their own—or with you.
