Splish Splash & A Great Green Barn Giveaway

GIVEAWAY

Can you even imagine the turmoil of saying no to this little dude?  Those big brown eyes (which are pretty much the only thing he got from me) literally make it impossible for me to keep my cheek-pinching-chin-stroking-raspberry-blowing-neck-kissing self off him.  If affection was sugary, well, I’d be Willy Wonka and he would be my everlasting gobstopper.  I just can’t get enough.

I discovered this file labeled “Will – Bathtime” and inside were all these fun photos of him before “the great chop of 2011” as he enjoyed a bath.

He loves water.  just like his mama.  just like his daddy.  just like pretty much every person in our families.  If I could, I would live on the water.  I would have a giant house – not tall – just spread out – like a campground with cabins that connect through secret tunnels and all our family members could come live with us.  and we would boat.  boat and swim and fish and kayak and canoe and wakeboard and kneeboard and pontoon and tube and skip rocks…every. single. day.

I guess for now I’ll just settle for an old file filled with bathtime photos.

He’s very serious about filling up the cup.  I can just hear his thoughts – Mom…this is serious man’s work.  now leave me alone.  and get that camera outta here before I drown it.

I love his soft little jawline.  He gets that from Jer.  I have a more angular jaw (especially when its not covered by chub)…and my mom always told me that she wanted a more angular jaw because in her mind the prettiest girls have one.  Maybe she was just flattering me.  Probably.  But I love Will’s.  It looks like a kind jaw….and yes, I just invented that.

Filling up…

Dumping out.

And then came the hairstyles.  The Alfalfa…

The mohawk…

The Nick Nolte…

The drowned rat…

What a fun little bathtime that was.  I barely remember it.  So I’m glad I have the photos.

It’s funny how a routine thing – like a daily bath – can be forgotten.  It’s something we do every day with Will.  But yet, one day I am sure I will look back and forget all about how he would dump water on his face, take a gulping breathe and then laugh.  Or how his skin felt when we suds up and washed away the evidence of the fun we had that day.  Or how he would splash during our little homemade bathroom song and smile so big that his dimple popped in and his eyes sparkled.  It flies by, doesn’t it?

All that to say…bath time is fun.  And Will does it all the time.

So when Heather of Green Barn Soaps Co. emailed me and asked if she could send my little Jedi Warrior a bar of her handmade gentle baby soap…I was really excited.   Mostly because tons of people in our family have eczema… so we try to limit the number of irritants that we put on Will’s skin.  But also because these are handcrafted and look like those fancy bars of soaps that you see for $20 a bar in those specialty shops…and let’s just be honest, I want to be fancy like that.  I’m not.  C’mon…my kid has a farmer’s tan…we aren’t typical fancy-people.

When they came in the mail, I about died.  She sent me a couple bars to try out too – like the Black tea, Poppyseed & Agave bar and the Lemon Poppyseed Cake bar.  Amazing.  I seriously think this is one awesome stocking stuffer for those moms/sisters/fancy girls in your life….and they look so darling stacked in a soap tray beside the sink.  totally tres chic.  (did you get that pun?!)

Oh and just so everyone is clear – I took a bath and rubbed this bar all over my nekked body and will continue to do so till it is gone.  It felt clean and fresh and the natural scent was perfect…not too strong…and my skin felt SMOOTH.  Like clean and soft and like what I imagine JLo feels like (if JLo is reading, can I feel your skin sometime to compare?  It’s for science not because I am a total weirdo.).

BUT here is the good news – Green Barn Soaps Co. is giving you a discount!  Everyone clap out loud.  right now.  at your computer.  You can get 10% off your order using the code BowerPower2011 till the end of December.

    I loooove homemade soaps – they are certainly the *perfect* stocking stuffer. Funky socks, nail polish, tea and homemade candies are always favorite stocking stuffers I think!

  5. So fresh and so clean clean!
    We don’t do stockings, but if we did something like this would probably be in it!

  6. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I’m a single gal with no kiddos so I don’t really stuff stockings. But back when my sisters, cousins and I were younger our granny used to give us stockings chock full of toiletries–including soap!–and little goodies. We always felt so big and grown up to have our very own tube of toothpaste and bottle of travel size shampoo. lol

  7. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My family has a tradition of stuffing stockings that are about 4 feet tall. We stuff them with oranges and apples, candy and all sorts of gifts and toiletries. I have so much fun scouring the clearance racks for awesome goodies to fill them with!

    I love those sweet baby pictures. I can’t get enough of my little man either and I try to cherish every moment – especially things like bath time. It moves too quickly.

  8. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!!
    We do a mix of things…toiletries, candy, accessories, and sometimes an orange in the bottom so the kids think they got coal too.

  9. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”
    We do coal.

    Just kidding! Our stockings come out on Christmas Eve and each year you never know what might be in there! Usually it’s candy for mom and dad and for my little 2yr old she may get some of her favorites like dried cranberries and animal crackers.

  10. Cute pictures of little Will. I have a little Will who is 8. Did you know it is the most popular boys name in Georgia?

    “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    For my 10 year old girl–sleeping mask, little things from bath and body works…hair stuff. For my boy, Halo stuff. The infamous Lifesaver books for both. For husband always some type of salted peanut–guys love that. And I buy him a cool guy magazine about cars or boats. He buys me US Weekly! Love magazines in the stockings!

  11. So fresh and so clean clean!

    Stocking stuffers are a BIG deal to me, so much so that after receiving an empty stocking my first year of being married—I now include suggestions for stocking stuffers on my Christmas list to the Hubbs. 😉 For him I’ve got new socks, earbuds, Lindt truffles (in white chocolate–blech!), a new toothbrush and some moisturizer (my attempt for the new year is to get Hubbs to take care of his skin so I don’t look like I’m married to a 50 year old when I’m 30 haha).

  12. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! My husband and I don’t actually do stockings. It is just the two of us, so it is not really a big deal. My mom always stuffs them with candy and toiletries–razors, Q-tips, makeup, Chapstick, etc.

  13. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    My favorite stocking stuffers when we were kids were the oranges we got at the bottom of the sock. Totally lame, but we all loved it – it’s an OLD tradition from back when stuff like oranges and other fresh fruits were exotic. 🙂 We don’t have kids yet, so we don’t stuff anyone’s stockings (I believe $her would throw in a “that’s what she said?”) but our own.

  14. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I’ll be stocking our puppy’s with his favorite toys! Got them on Sunday and I can’t wait to give them to him already!

  15. So fresh and so clean clean!
    My hub’s fam always did toiletry items in the stocking, but my fam went for the less practical, more popular candy/gum/magazine combo, so we blend the two approaches!

    PS– now I must google the rest of the lyrics to that song so that I can get it properly stuck in my head! Do you happen to write your blog posts in the wee hours of the morning? For some reason I picture you that way– your sense of humor reminds me of my college suite-mates and I getting a little punchy and giggly after staying up too late. It’s a good thing, I promise! Makes me laugh and get nostalgic at the same time!

  16. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I’m not sure what I’m putting in stockings…I’m thinking pocket editions of some classic books tailored to the specific person…or cookies.

  17. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!! I am stuffing the stockings with little cars, chocolates, small books, bath toys, bath paint and socks.

  18. So fresh and so clean clean. So far, I have some design ideas soap holly leaves and some tervis tumblers. After that, i’ll probably just go with candy.

  20. SO fresh and so clean clean… I buy my husband underwear. Mostly because by the time Christmas comes around, he needs a whole new set to replace the ones I bought him the year before. Ew. I am hoping that he puts jewelry in mine. Here’s hoping. 🙂

  21. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN… I will be stuffing stockings with a variety of treats this year… felt food for my son and some real food for the hubs…. some popcorn kernels for him to pop and some mini bottles of hard alcohol…. because we’re super classy like that. I LOVE getting soaps in my stocking, and love natural products like this. My dad’s fam is eczema prone, too, and my little guy needs gentle soaps (or none at all) to keep his skin baby smooth and fresh!

  22. SO Fresh and So Clean!
    I love magazines in my stocking, or books, but I am a bit of a biblophile so go figure!

  23. So Fresh and so clean clean!

    I love homemade soap like that! Yummmm….

    Anyhow, I think I am stuffing stockings with handmade hairbows and headbands for the kiddos.

  24. I have a real problem—I couldn’t even wait to see who won the giveaway!

    I have a family member I hadn’t purchased a Christmas gift for yet, so as an excuse to get one of those Lemmon Poppyseed Cake soaps for myself—I just ordered five soaps! Thanks for the recommendation, and here’s hoping I win some more because I’m sure I’ll love them.

  25. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I put EVERYTHING in a stocking. Candy, toiletries, food, toys, books if they’re small enough . . . anything!

  26. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!! I’m stuffing stockings with body wash, lofas, after shave, chocolates, cookies and mini liquor bottles! Great giveaway, thanks!!

  27. So fresh and so clean clean…

    we stuff with all kinds of stuff from socks to lotto tickets to a new pair of toms!

  30. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!! Typically it’s just candy in stockings…but this year I’m excited to be putting some Garbage Pail Kid cards in my brother’s stocking. We loved them back in the day and now they’re out again with an anniversary edition:)

  31. So Fresh and So Clean Clean… I’ll be stuffing the stockings with treats, toiletries and small gifts.

  32. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    We usually have dvds, candy, nail polish or other toiletries, or maybe some fun small pieces of jewelry… I’m doing a stocking for husband for the first time this year, I need to think of some non-girly ideas!

  34. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”
    I am going to make ornaments for everyone in my family. My family started a tradition of giving ornaments so that when we moved into our own houses we’d have stuff to put on our trees – I continued the tradition with my boyfriend – so that when we have kids someday we can look back on our first Christmas’ together.

  35. So fresh and so clean clean! I try to get a mixture of candy and fun trinkets to fill up the stockings…

  38. So fresh and so clean clean! I like to do a mix of food stuffs and small gifts. I have some wine corks, chess pieces, a tie, and some “sugar gum” – as my hubby used to call it as a kid.

  39. So fresh and so clean clean…… I’m kind of in love with the fact that you use that phrase as well. If I had to pick I would say that my favorite stocking stuffer would be candy!

  40. So Fresh and so Clean clean!!

    I always put a clementine in stockings with candy. And we usually do a small gift (i.e. a $1 coloring book for my son, a CD for hubby or something).

    I’m hoping Hubby puts some earrings I found on Etsy in my stocking this year!!

  41. So Fresh and so clean clean! Would love to win this! I stuff stockings with lots of different stuff, travel size toiletries, candy, and something personalized like special flavored coffee syrups for mom and movie passes for dad.

  42. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I ususally do some cozy socks and then little toiletries/lotions, etc. for my mom and sister.

  43. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I always go with a new toothbrush/toothpaste, something that was too small and would get lost under the tree, and some Hershey’s kisses 🙂

  44. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I stuff stockings with a mix of things! I think that is what makes stockings fun! Never knowing what you are going to get!

  45. So Fresh and So Clean!

    For the guys in my life I usually do some candy, razors, toothbrushes and one little larger, nicer gift. I think last year I put in a hat.

  47. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN 🙂

    Our stockings are full of socks and undies for everyone … plus some candy and other fun stuff specific to the recipient. My sister and I are planning on putting partially used gift cards in my brother’s stocking as a joke 🙂

  49. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”….I like giving a variety of treats….even to our doggy. It will be a combo of toys (load up at the dollar section at Target) and candy for my daughter. Probably candy and a gift card for the hubby.I would love to try that Lemon poppy seed cake soap.

  50. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I love giving ornaments as stocking stuffers. My husband insists on nuts and an orange- It’s so old-fashioned, but I like it.

  51. So Fresh and So Clean Clean . . I always leave nuts and fruits with one toy, my “Santa” always did so I do, it as a tradition now.

  54. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!!!

    This year i will stuffing the stocking with boxers, pjs and socks for my hubby…..things he wont buy himself but desperately need.

  55. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Those would go perfectly with our Consumable-Handmade Christmas theme this year!! We all decided that we have enough “stuff” in our house, and to be more piratical, consumable or homemade this year… (Yes, the BF is getting a package of bacon in his stocking… Piratical AND consumable! Win, Win!)

  59. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We’ll be making the trip from CA to OH for Christmas this year and bringing stockings with us, so I plan on filling them with anything I can fit inside. My favorites are candy and little things like cologne or nail polish! These soaps would be perfect inside my stocking (:

  61. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I always give soaps and other beauty products in stockings. Event to the men in my life. I’m a true girly girl!

  62. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that in the stockings. Candy, books, socks, etc. 🙂

  64. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I put little gifts and trinkets in stockings. Soap would totally be acceptable in that category.

  65. So Fresh and So Clean Clean…

    The stocking stuffers I buy are mostly small trinket-y things, but thanks for reminding me that I need to go out and get candy for stockings too. 🙂

  66. So Fresh and So Clean Clean: We put candy and cute trinkets in our stockings, and I LOVE bath products in mine! >hint, hint< Love your blog!

  67. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I love a combo of all of those things in my stocking. I used to get a new toothbrush, CDs, candy, gum, jewelry, a new pen, etc.!

  69. So fresh and so clean, clean! I have always been a big fan of putting pj’s in stockings. My mom always did that for me growing up- it’s a nice tradition.

  70. Awww, so fresh and so clean! Reading this makes me want to go put my little man in the tub! I have been thinking lately that he really needs a haircut, but it’s just so purty I don’t know if I could stand to see it go!

    My Mom was a genius with our stockings, she (I mean Santa) always filled them with little wrapped toys along with the obligatory apple/orange and toothbrush. Then when we woke up Christmas morning, our stocking had been filled and placed by our pillows during the night. I never realized it until I got older that this clever method probably bought her at least another 30 minutes of sleep on Christmas morning as we tore into and played with our stocking stuffers first before running out to the tree!

  72. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN.

    I don’t do the stuffing, but my stocking is always stuffed with panties and toiletries!

  74. So Fresh and So Clean!

    Im still in the getting stage of stockings but my mom always gives each of us a Harry and David pear in out stockings…so good!

  76. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I am putting gift cards, gloves, magnets, bath stuffs, and candy into stockings this year.

  77. So Fresh and So Clean!! These soaps look awesome!!

    I already stuffed stockings for our son and his roommate serving in the Army National Guard in the Middle East. Mostly candy and non-perishable goodies. But also gift cards to Chili’s restaurant, only because there is one on their base! They are going out in the mail tomorrow.

  80. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My mom likes to put small kitchen utensils in my stocking each year, I love it! I give my dad mini bags of specialty coffee.

  82. So fresh and so clean!!!

    Growing up we would always get a toothbrush in our stockings. I plan to do this with my son…well once he has teeth! 🙂

  83. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I’m a big fan of stuffing stockings with little winter necessities – lip gloss, hand cream, hot chocolate, and warm socks. A fancy bar of soap would certainly fit into that theme also!

  84. “So fresh and so clean clean”

    Awesome giveaway! I, too, think that handmade soap looks tres chic tucked in a cute vintage-y holder beside the sink. And sadly, now that I’m married and not at my Mom’s house I no longer get a stocking 🙁 It was seriously my favorite part of gifts!

  85. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    My dad always likes to put lottery tickets in our stockings. This year, I was thinking of baking some treats. I need more small DIY ideas! Maybe something with Scrabble tiles… 🙂

  86. So Fresh and So Clean!

    We always put an orange in the bottom. Other than that, they’re filled with a little bit of everything!

  91. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I stuff my family’s stockings with fruit and other small items – candy and toys for the kids, stationary and soap for the ladies, and bacon chocolate bars for the guys.

  92. So Fresh and So Clean! I always put fruit in stockings (for filler…who eats fruit on Christmas Day??) and the small things. Container store has great stuff!

  93. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN.
    we don’t do stockings, but if we did, well I don’t know… I’ve never really thought about it. I would probably like fancy candies, lip balmy stuff, lotion, well, stuff like those soaps! What a fun giveaway!

  97. Katie – You. Are. Awesome. How lucky that I, recently, ended up on your site. You have beautiful taste and such a beautiful family! AND the same quirky personality as yours truly;) So, just thought I would finally say hello…”hello”. I would love for you to check out my site (and if you like something…maybe I can send you a little bauble!) Hoping to find time to include all my home design and DIY projects, one of these days. Keep up the good work, sister!!

  98. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We stick candy and fun little toys in our stockings We might try something a little different this year though- I’m still working on what that will be though lol

  99. so fresh and so clean clean….I will be stuffing stockings with the things my littles just can’t keep their hands off of – tape, envelopes, and dental floss. 🙂

  100. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I like a mix of stocking stuffers, shampoo, lotion, candy, fuzzy socks! Stocking stuffers are the best!

  101. So Fresh and So Clean!

    My favorite stocking stuffer is office supplies…lol. I love pens and highlighters!

  102. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    My mom always stuffed socks into my stocking…that and lip-balm. Can you ever have too much lip-balm?

    This year I’ll stuff my husband’s with sweets and gift cards.

  103. So Fresh and So Clean!

    I always stuff the stockings with an orange and candies as well as small little wrapped gifts. Stockings are most certainly my favorite part of Christmas!

  104. So Fresh and So Clean! We’ll be filling our stockings with lots of candy and small trinket toys. Hopefully Santa will fill mine with some fun accessories this year. : )

  105. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I love soap! It’s kinda an addiction…

    No stockings for us to stuff yet, but I love getting candy and lip gloss in mine.

  107. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I like to stuff my stockings with tolietries too…I also usually include a little gift card to a favorite spot like starbucks or dunkin donuts because I like to give sweet treats 🙂

  108. So Fresh and Clean!

    My mom used to put undies in our stockings (how embarrassing!). Now I do it to my children. Gotta carry on the tradition.

  110. So fresh and so clean, clean!

    Stocking stuffers always include candy…and a toothbrush for good measure!

  111. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    (I loved that song)

    I am stuffing stockings with a combination of candy and little gifts like stickers and crayons (for the kiddos) and rolled up novelty T’s and socks (for the grown-ups) and also fancy coffee… my hubs is waaay into fancy coffee. 🙂 Merry Merry!!

  113. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I have no idea about stockings yet – way too much of a procrastinator for that! Usually it’s trinkets and silly toys though.

  114. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN

    I’m thinking we’ll do candy or something kind of cheap this year….but I’m sure the kids will love it!

  115. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I LOVE filling stockings each Christmas with all sorts of fun stuff that’s personal to the receiver…this year our almost 3 year old will have some temporary tattoos (Mickey Mouse of course), a small toy or two, his favorite cereal bars, and a stuffed Eeyore & Piglet sticking out the top. I can’t wait to see his little face!

  118. So Fresh and So Clean Clean…. i’m still working on gathering stocking stuffers! it’s only me, my husband, and our two puppies, but i’m still having fun picking out fun treats! they pups get some delicious bones and a new rope toy. my husband gets lots of chocolate & flavored coffee + something else i still need to find!

  119. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! In the stocking sfor my “men” – one husband, two grown sons: food “stuff”, chapstick (hey, we live in the West, it’s DRY here), a stray giftcard or three, and…oh no, the stockings are just half full. I will check your comments for more ideas!!

  120. So fresh and so clean clean! I always have to put an orange in each stocking – it’s an old family tradition!

  122. So fresh and so clean!

    Not sure what we’re putting in the stockings this year – usually fun little puzzles or brain teasers!

  123. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! My favorite stocking stuffer is a toothbrush! When I was younger, my mom didn’t put one in a my stocking one year and I had a fit. Never again.

  124. So fresh and so clean clean!! I’m not sure what all I’m putting in my husband’s stocking yet– but he is definitely getting a book light so he doesn’t have to have the lamp on while I’m falling asleep!

  125. Oh my Katie – this post got me all teary because it does just fly by and it’s really the little things about our babies that mean so much. I can’t believe my little man is 5 months – I miss the little baby, but I LOVE every new thing he does. sigh. And I’m already super excited about getting pregnant again (and for you to too!).

    BUT so fresh so clean clean!

    I have no idea what to stuff stockings with – this is my first year being the stuffer! hahah. I will have to look at everyone else’s comments and get some ideas.

  126. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! And…. I put a tooth brush and fresh fruits like an orange or apple(no candy) in stockings every year. Surprisingly, people love it!

  130. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I haven’t decided yet…I guess I had better get on it, right? Maybe for the hubs I’ll just go walk around Home Depot and Michael’s to grab stuff he likes…a little premo sculpey here…and nice new sharp exacto knife there…and probably one of those dark chocolate oranges they sell at Trader Joe’s too! 🙂

  133. So fresh and so clean clean!! I love to fill stockings and we have a silly family tradition. We always put a piece of fruit in the bottom – an orange or an apple – just for fun!

  134. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!! We usually just do one stocking every year – for our furbaby Buddy. So we will be stuffing lots of doggy treats and stuff critters for him to chew up!

  135. So fresh and so clean, clean!

    I always stuff with toiletries! Toothbrushes, shampoo/conditioner, shaving cream, razors, body wash and candy, too. Everyone needs this stuff and it’s nice to have it handy when you run out.

    Happy Holidays!

  137. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    It is my son’s first Christmas (he will be almost 6 months old) so his stocking will be filled with baby food, new pacifiers, and a baby toothbrush!

  138. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” We don’t do stockings, we have boots that we put out and in there we normally put clementines, some candy, and some chocolate and that is it.

  139. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    candy is usually where I start with DH, then small trinkets and gift cards. he’d be so dissapointed if toiletries were in there whereas I LOVE it when he does that for me 🙂

  141. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Our stockings will have small personal accessories, candles, and of course candy!

  142. So fresh and so clean clean
    I don’t think I’ve actually made it as far as stocking stuffers…I feel like I’m doing good to just get presents wrapped.

  145. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We don’t do stockings, but my family will be getting homemade canned jam from me this year. Another little gift that is good especially for single people in your life (or let’s be honest… for yourself) is frozen homemade cookie dough. Roll into balls like you are gonna pop it on the baking tray, then freeze instead. It’s awesome because then the giftee can throw a few cookies on a tray and bake ’em up in a few minutes… instead of spending 2 hours and ending up 10 lbs fatter from eating 2 dozen cookies.

  146. So fresh and so clean! I love neat little trinkets that you would never buy for yourself but totally need.

  147. So fresh and so clean clean! Our little girl is turning 2 in January and we’ve been working on potty training, so if I can find panties small enough for her that’s what will go in the stockings! Hmm, I might just start a tradition and get some panties for myself and husband.

  148. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean” I got little things online that hold your spoons to the pot when you’re cooking… since my family just tends to set spoons all over the place…. I also got some lip glosses too. So those are my stocking stuffers this year.

    Also, can we talk about how adorable Will is with a mohawk? Even though he’s darn cute to begin with.

  149. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We don’t stuff stockings because we’re Jewish 😉 But we’ll be getting little things like that usually from my mom! She always buys my Hubs a “man soap” as he calls it!

  151. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I do a different theme for my twins’ stockings every year. This year is a Blue’s Clues theme filled with a t-shirt of Blue, a book about Blue, and a notebook with crayons.

  152. So fresh and so clean clean! I have no idea what I’m putting in stockings this year…guess I should get started on that! 🙂

  153. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I will be baking things, and always get stupid toys and clementines for stockings. These would be PERFECT for the ladies.

  154. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Anything that can fit inside a stocking goes in our house. Lotion, gum, socks, gift cards, movies, etc.

  155. so fresh and so clean!

    i will prob just do small things like hair ties, chapstick, fun socks, etc.

  156. So fresh and so clean
    Well, since I don’t have my own family yet, I still go home, and my parents kindly stuff my stocking still. I’m expecting to get some hand cream and bobby pins probably.

  157. So fresh and so clean!

    Stocking stuffers this year will be the usual candy, but also practical things used regularly-chap stick, gum, fun pens, etc.

  158. “So Fresh & So Clean Clean” (<— I totally just time travelled to my high school graduation party… ah, Outkast. We hearted you.)

    Stocking stuffers depend on the recipient. My cats get practical treats like Temptations Dentabites since they aren't capable of flossing or brushing. My mom might get some tea bags (as in the hot drink) and my dad something for his car. I'm thinking this year the stuffers will be more along the lines of a practical joke.

  159. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    Stocking stuffers are usually toiletries, books, magazines and an orange with a quarter taped to it at the bottom.

  160. So fresh and so clean clean! Like I will post here right on the world wide web what my husband is getting in his stocking. That’s all we’re doing for presents so it’s a big SECRET!

  161. So fresh and so clean clean

    We sadly do toiletries too. Although my husband always finds some yummy expensive chocolates to go with it!

  162. So fresh and so clean clean! Haven’t started Christmas shopping yet, but toiletries are always a good choice for stocking stuffers!

  165. So Fresh & So Clean Clean

    Well, considering our kiddos are cats, we’ll probably be stuffing their stockings with cat treats, cat nip, and jingle toys 🙂

  168. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We usually do a mix of things in our stockings like candy, toiletries, gum, chap-stick, etc.

  169. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I am just a college kid so I’ll be going home to stockings stuffed by “Santa” 🙂 I can’t wait for CHRISTMAS!

  170. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I don’t wanna sound stupid, but why are we repeating clean twice? 🙂

    This is the first year of doing stockings, but I bet they will all be filled with dog treats! (At least my dogs will be happy 🙂

  172. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I love stocking stuffers. It is what we do as gifts to our family members for Christmas. That way no one is spending an arm and a leg for Christmas gifts. Christmas is about sharing it with your family and enjoying that time. This year it will be chocolate dipped marshmellows that I found on Pinterest and something fun (my husband is thinking Snuggies:) )

  173. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Since I have an obsession with the Target $ aisle the kids stockings will be filled with all those fabulous finds I’ve stashed away over the last year and candy! Hubby will get small gift cards and those mini liquor bottles:-)

  174. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    This is my first year as the official stocking stuffer! My little one is just 14 months old so I’ll be filling his with small balls, a package of animal crackers, and a little car. My mom always put an orange in the toe of our stocking and then filled it with candy and one other item, like a watch or a necklace. I’m so excited for Christmas! I love the look of this soap too. It really does look expensive and if it smells as good as you say it does it’s a GREAT deal.

  175. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Unfortunately I’m not one of those unclaimed winners…maybe I’ll win this marvelous soap prize! I love hand made soap without all the ingredients you can’t pronounce!

  176. So fresh and so clean clean!

    It’s a family tradition to always, always leave tooth brushes in stockings.. Along with tons of candy!!!

  178. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    For the girls I’m putting in lip gloss, for the guys maybe chap stick….and for everyone little candies, flashlights, pens….

    By the way, I love the photos of Will and bath time. Yep, he’s one heartmeltingly adorable guy! Wish I had taken more “everyday” pictures of my kids when they were little.

  179. So fresh and so clean!
    I’d like to fill my young adult daughters’ stockings with gift cards and fun little things. A winning lottery ticket sounds good!

  180. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I haven’t decided what I’m putting in the stockings this year. I like to buy my husband small little gifts, so that’s what normally goes in his.

  181. So fresh and so clean clean… I have no idea what are going in our stockings this year. But at least I have most of my Christmas shopping done! 🙂

  183. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I’m stuffing stockings with goodies I’ve gotten for cheap/free with couponing. So far I’ve got candy, reed diffusers, razor blades, chapstick, pocket flashlights, toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste (super excited i know lol).

  184. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”
    OMG…I haven’t even thought about stockings. I’ll probably do a mix of candy, toiletries and other fun/small gifts. This is my first comment. I love your blog. I have a 14 month old and I appreciate your honesty about parenting! Plus, I live in Chattanooga!

  185. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I dig the practical gifts. A new toothbrush. Socks. Chocolate. (Yes that is essential). For the kids (my 11 nieces and nephews), cars and LPS (littlest pet shops) do the trick!

  186. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I’m stuffing my own handmade lotions and lip balms into stockings this year! LOVE LOVE LOVE handmade beauty products. And love that they are super cheap when I make them myself!

  187. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! First off, I thought that my sisters and I were the only ones with the underground tunnel scheme! We originally planned to have them meet in our closets (we share clothes), but now that we are married, linked kitchens would be much more practical! We always have random stuff in our stocking along with the requisite orange in the toe–generally very practical stuff that we need but isn’t exciting enough for wrapping paper–apple slicer any0ne?

  189. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!!

    I usually put small toys, some candy, socks, and toiletries in my kids stockings.

  190. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    My little man (same age as yours) is getting Yo Gabba Gabba beanie babies, some little people cars and probably annies chewy bunnies. The hubby is getting hockey tape, Starbucks gift card and some lindt truffles….

  191. So Fresh and so clean clean

    Our stockings are filled with candy, snacks, and trinkets. The hubby usually gets a magazine for mine, which always makes me swoon.

  192. So fresh and so clean, clean… wow. This reminds me of my freshman year of college when I had a plymouth neon with a sunroof and had this on a mix CD my boyfriend made me using napster, back when it was free!

    So basically this is why I read the post! The cute boy pix were good, I admit. My son is a bit older than Will and still doesn’t have that much hair!

    My mom used to sell avon and so we’d get Avon cosmetics and goodies in our stockings. Then one year, she stopped doing this and we were major bummed. So I always hope for lotions, eye liners, and lip balm in my stocking!

  194. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    My two-year-old is getting a stocking full of underwear. Haha. She’s finally fully potty trained! They have Dora on them so she’s guaranteed to be excited. (Plus, she’s only two, so it’s not like she’ll know any different)

  195. So fresh and so clean clean.

    This will be my first year stuffing stockings since this is our first year married in our new house, and with a baby due right before christmas! So I’m thinking small gifts, candy, and fun quirky items.

  196. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My family was never into stockings, but my boyfriend’s family is. So this year I shall be contributing Lego’s and other fun, lighthearted things 🙂

  198. So fresh and so clean! We have eczema pretty bad over here, so we try to go all natural as much as possible…I would love these soaps! As far as stockings…I don’t really have a plan yet, but I do not put candy in them usually. I mostly do things they need (or we would buy anyway)…toothbrushes, toothpaste, bandaids, etc.

  199. So Fresh and So Clean Clean.

    I work at Children’s hospital and we have all this random promotional stuff that has been taking up the limited storage areas that I have. Random stuff, we’re talking frisbees, heat packs, pencils, pens that light up, coin purses, chip clips, magnets, bandaid holders, draw string bags, pencil cases, stress balls that look life lifesavers, and more. My co-worker and I were joking that everyone in our families are getting stockings full of promo items for Christmas! 🙂

  201. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I’m not 100% sure what I’m putting in stockings this year. My mom usually gets some socks, but that’s all I’ve planned.

  202. So fresh and so clean clean.

    We dont do stockings but if we did this would be the kind of stuff you’d find in them.

  203. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I love getting/giving candy, toiletries like soap, chapstick, a new tooth brush, fun little things like that.

  204. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We do a little bit of everything, but my favorite is chocolate oranges. Yum!

  205. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My husband and I have stockings that we hang, but so far in our 2 married Christmases, we haven’t stuffed them! My favorite thing that my mom puts in our stockings is really super cheap DVDs that are usually really old and ridiculous because they are the 90% reduced price ones that no one ever wants!

  207. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I go for hats and mittens that I grabbed after last Christmas, candy, and tea for the grownups. 🙂

  209. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!
    We put small gifts and candy in our stockings. My in-laws have great stockings….they can be better than the gifts sometimes!
    I hope I win this one!!

  210. ain’t nobody dope as me, i’m just SO FRESH, SO CLEAN! (so fresh & so clean, clean)

    stockings…stuffing them with baked goods/snacks. we’re giving away wedding photos as presents, so we’re doing baked goods/cookies (with cute packaging ideas from pinterest) as our “stocking stuffer” portion! 🙂

  211. so fresh and so CLEAN clean!! thanks for the giveaway!!

    my husband and i don’t have kids yet so last year was my first year buying stocking stuffers. we celebrated with his sister and her family. i mainly bought toys – game cards such as monopoly deal, mad gab, scrabble slam, etc. this year my family is coming to visit us and i plan on buying trinkets/small things i know that they’ll like; small neccessities/simple pleasures. so far i’ve got tissue for my mom, chapstic (natural ice) for my brother, and Magic The Gathering cards pack for my other brother. i still have four more people to buy for so if i win, i might just only have one more. =)

    ps. i think will is uber cute!!! i love seeing pictures of him!

  212. SO Fresh and So Clean!

    I will be stuffing the hubby’s stocking with candy mostly and maybe some little handy man tool stuff. For my kids, stickers and little arts and crafts. Can’t wait!

  214. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We have our first babe due Dec. 14, and I am taking the year off working, which makes for a very tight Christmas budget (hello zero!). So I think we’ll put our new babe in the stocking, and take pictures!

  215. So fresh and so clean clean!

    we do a little of everything which is basically whatever we find that is small enough for a stocking and cheap b/c stockings never end up being cheap. Toiletries are always good filler items, especially chapstick and deodorant. And even though I never eat them we always get the lifesaver books.

  216. So Fresh and so Clean Clean !!!

    LOVE love love nice soaps !!! We put all kinds of stuff in stockings, from toothpaste, lottery tickets, kitchen tools, chapstick, tools, candy, gift cards, etc. Course my girls are grown, so the stockings are a little different than when they were little.

  217. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    We aren’t big stocking stuffers but we did buy our little puppy a few toys to throw into his!

  218. So fresh and so clean clean!

    The only stocking stuffer I have bought so far is some alligator jerky for my dad. Very random, yes I know!

  219. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I usually put odds and ends that I’ve picked up over the year in the kids’ stockings. The husband usually gets toiletries and maybe something kinda funny.

  220. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    This year I will be putting the necessities in the stockings (razors, shampoo, socks) but I always include a small giftcard too! Thanks 🙂

  221. So fresh and so clean clean! Stockings are all about toiletries around here… but fun ones like the fancy shaving cream you wouldn’t buy for yourself, and new lip gloss 🙂

  222. So fresh and so clean clean

    Our stockings get stuffed with a little candy and odds and ends, like candles, nice socks, chapstick, etc

  225. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I’m not in charge of stuffing any stockings yet, but I love the idea of travel candle tins, lotion, small gift cards, and chocolate.

  227. so fresh and so clean clean!

    I don’t have any kids of my own, so I am 28 and I still look forward to seeing what is in my own stocking each Christmas when I go home to my parents house 🙂

  228. So fresh and so clean!

    Although I don’t do stocking stuffers personally, my mom still has stocking at her house for us that she fills with hair accessories, Burt’s Bees products and, of course, awesome candy.

  230. Oops – forgot the first part: So fresh and so clean clean! We do it all – candy, gifts and of course the required fruit that no one eats, haha.

  231. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! This year our stocking stuffers are going to be lots of toiletries and silly trinkets that you always secretly want to buy but can’t justify spending the money on. Those old fashioned mini-games at World Market are on my stocking-staple list this year. 🙂 The soaps look lovely! Thanks for the giveaway

  232. So fresh and so clean…although many people say stockings are the best part about christmas gifts my family never did them (kinda sad). I think we’ll keep it small though- toothbrushes for kiddo’s, a book, etc… for when our kids are older.

  233. So fresh and so clean clean!!

    Stockings are always the best part! “Santa” always stuffed ours with gift cards, jewelry, candy, real good gifts! So I’m continuing that tradition with my 2 and 1 year olds, little people toys, goldfish crackers, mini m&m’s, hot wheels…you know, all things considered fabulous by toddlers!

  236. so fresh and so clean clean!

    my adult children insist on still having stockings. It is getting more difficult and expensive to find treats to put in there, but I still love playing Santa!

  237. So fresh and so clean clean! We don’t do stocking stuffers, but these soaps would be great if we did!

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

  238. I love your cute pix’s!
    What a sweety!

    ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” I’ll be stuffing stockings with nail polish, itunes giftcards & candies!

  240. So fresh and so clean <3

    My cheerleader's stocking will be filled with initial ornaments & Homemade goodies :))

  241. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”. Usually put some candy, playdoh, little toys. Maybe this year will be something Star Wars related for my 5 yr old and maybe some little cars and trains for my almost 2 yr old.

  242. So Fresh and So Clean Clean ??? Yes, please! Winter skin drives me NUTS (being super dry down here in the desert plus cool air is a double whammy!) I may just stuff my own stocking with this stuff! I’m doing tons of handmade stocking stuffers this year – I just have to narrow down my ambitious list! Cookies and spiced nuts for sure, some scarves maybe? Mugrugs? Good thing I have a month!

  243. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    No stockings for this girl. I do not have any children of my own and my patents stopped giving my sisters and I one quite a few years ago!

  245. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!! I typically do small gifts and candy in stockings, but have been known to include a toiletry item every now and then. The one constant for us is an apple/orange in the toe of the stocking. Not sure why, but it’s been there all my life. Well, not the same one. A new one each year. That’d be gross.

  246. So fresh and so clean!

    I do a little of everything! Candy, toothbrushes, body sprays and lip gloss, soap, nail polish, you never know!

  247. Oh my Melissa…your work is amazing. I told Jer that I want an aquamarine with wood necklace for Christmas…let’s hope he remembers 🙂
    xo – kb

  251. Ain’t nobody dope as me I’m dressed so fresh so clean
    So fresh and so clean clean

    stockings are my favorite kind of present to unwrap. I usually put small gifts, a magazine, candy, and hide the things I couldnt fit into the sock…

  252. So fresh and so clean clean.
    Stuffing the stockings with nuts! It’s my in-laws tradition that I’m keeping going for my husband.

  253. So fresh and so clean clean! Stocking stuffers…haven’t thought of anything yet. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the process right now.

  254. So fresh and so clean clean. The wife takes care of stocking stuffers, so I’m not too worried about that.

  256. So fresh and so clean clean! My parents have a tradition of finding the weirdest objects for our stockings last year a headlamp – this year who knows. . .

  257. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We do any sort of random crap we run into, the objective is to make the stocking owner laugh till he cries!

  259. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I love chocolate and fun little toys in stockings! Candy Cane Kisses and Silly Putty this year!

  260. So fresh and so clean, clean!

    We always do toiletries (my dad gets at least 4 bars of Irish Spring each year, all wrapped differently) and tiny gifts. And for as long as I can remember, Santa has brought my mom a different brightly colored spatula avery year.

  261. So fresh and so clean clean!!

    Lots of chocolate goes in our stockings! And “guilty” magazines we wouldn’t usually buy.

  263. So fresh and so clean!

    I usually stuff it with socks and candy! Cause you can never have enough socks!

  264. So fresh and so clean clean! (that was actually my ringtone back in high school…oh, the memories!)
    I am fortunate enough to do the un-stocking stuffing (as in, I have no stockings to stuff!). I do look forward to the following two items from my grandmother every year in my stocking at her house: a nail kit (new clippers, etc) and yummy-smelling hand lotion. Oldies but goodies!

  266. so fresh and so clean clean!

    we do anything from toiletries, to food items (grain cereals and soups, hubby doesn’t like candy!), and sometimes practical everyday items (like post-it notes, etc)… even though it’s not very exciting stuff, the excitement is in the surprise!

  268. So fresh and so clean clean! I have no idea what I am putting in my husbands stocking. Maybe a movie, book, and some candy. Most of the things he wants are very big/expensive. Maybe I will read over the comments and get some ideas!

  269. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    We usually get toiletries (I love when my mom would stock tampons…they are so expensive when you are a college student). Now that I’m married, and have a kid, I’m sure there will be some food, some toothbrushes, razors, crayons, and small kids books…stuff like that! Oh, and maybe some soap can be stuffed into mine?

  270. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I usually forget about stockings until the last minute so most likely, my hubbie will get whatever I can find around the house that I’ve stockpiled from couponing!

  271. so fresh and so clean clean!

    We give toiletries, small candles, toys, or candles, basically whatever will fit in the stockings are fair game.

  272. So Fresh & So Clean!

    I am stuffing my teenagers stockings with gift cards from their favorite stores/restaurants, favorite candy bars, socks (since all of theirs are quite “Holy”), and…the infamous orange or apple on top.

  273. So Fresh and So Clean Clean … lottery scratch-offs! My grandmother wins every year … luckiest lady I know.

  274. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! The kiddos are getting snow shovels from St. Nick (we live in WI) as well as a new monster truck and some candy. My husband gets a Butterfinger… and I get whatever looks great at the store as I’m shopping!

  275. So fresh and so clean!

    I’m still thinking about stockings, so I’m not sure yet what will end up in there.

  277. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I’m a combo stuffer – if its small enough to fit in a stocking, its fair game. We always include new toothbrushes for everyone. It’s a tradition that my mother in law started when my husband was a little boy.

    BTW – the bath shots were ADORABLE!!!!!

  279. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I love the Nick Nolte hairdo!!

    Stocking stuffers this year include chocolate coins, small Nerf dart guns, and small Lego toys.

  281. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I routinely stuff stocking with toiletries and random kitchen utensils! 🙂

  282. So Fresh and so Clean Clean!
    haha i sing that ALL THE TIME when i shower 🙂
    in our family stockings are filled with little gifts, some candy, an orange, and ALWAYS a toothbrush!

  283. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! We usually do toiletries, too…this year the hubs will get an underwater disposable camera for our vacation to Hawaii!

  284. So fresh and clean clean!
    I have no idea what I’m doing for stocking stuffers… This is my boyfriend @ my first Christmas together, so I’m trying to figure out something for boh him and his 8 year old son and 5 year old daughter!

  287. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! My act isn’t together enough this year to have any amount of stocking stuffers purchased. Although I do love to receive bath goods myself.

  289. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My mom actually started a tradition of giving my husband and me toiletries, cleaning supplies, and other necessities for Christmas. We are still newlyweds (I count us as such, at least) and buying these things for ourselves can get expensive, so my mom swooped in to help out. I would love to give her something luxurious for her, but still in keeping with the new tradition!

  291. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I always got an orange in the toe of my stocking. From there up it was all about candy, toiletries and a few magazines. For my 18 month old son, we’re filling his stocking with mini books, socks, a new toothbrush, animal crackers and of course, an orange.

  292. So Fresh and So Clean Clean…stockings usually consit of fruit and other little gifts like gift cards, socks.. so random! 🙂 Love your blog

  293. So Fresh and So Clean!
    We always got and I do also for my daughters: toothbrushes, toothpaste, candy, coloring books, crayons, change, bubble bath, and some books!

  294. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! ….Great…now I’m going to have Outkast stuck in my head all day! I have no idea what I’m putting in stockings, I need to get going!!

  296. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I am including socks and underwear as usual. My kids would be shocked not to find these in their stockings each year.

  298. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I’ve started collecting the little things like Lotion, candles etc. This soap would round it out nicely!

  299. So fresh and so clean clean! I love filling my husband’s stocking with magazines, scratcher tickets (so fun!), candy, fun items from the Michel’s Dollar Section, and airplane bottles!

  302. So Fresh and so clean…

    I’m kind of a coupon freak and I have three sisters and no brothers. So, all my sisters are getting makeup and nail polish in their stockings…and I got it all free!

  303. I’m stuffing stockings with homemade eco-friendly things like homemade chocolate sauce, Swiffer type dusters made out of fleece and maybe some yarn dryer balls. These soaps would really help me stay “So Fresh and So Clean Clean” while I’m doing all that!

  304. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    We always put a combination of candy, travel size toiletries or small things like lip gloss or nail polish, and socks! Even the cat has her own stocking, but she gets treats and toys.

  305. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    We put giftcards, candy, nail polish, tooth brushes, and small toys in them usually.

  306. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    My favorite stocking stuffer I keep buying for everyone this year is from target. They sell these incredible face masks in all different kinds like seaweed and there is even a chocolate one! They are only a dollar and they are great, even on sensitive skin! Love Target!

  307. So fresh and so clean! I don’t know if ill do stockings this year, but if I do they will all have chocolate!

  308. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    We do a mixture of candy and small gifts. I love opening the stockings.

  309. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I usually put smaller gifts like socks, boxers, and candy in my husband’s stocking. My daughter will be a year old, so small items probably aren’t a good idea for her stocking, and we’ll go with a small stuffed animal and possibly a small board book. Our dog, Wendel, gets a new stuffed toy in his stocking. Everyone gets a present on Christmas. Even Wendel. 🙂

  310. So Fresh and So Clean Clean (I wholeheartedly approve of this phrase)

    Toiletries will definitely be in stockings…I’m thinking fun toothpaste and a toothbrush for our munchkin. Never too early to get excited about brushing your teeth!

  311. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I stuff stockings with whatever fun things I can find for the kids. Some candy, but not too much. For the girls: lotion, fingernail polish, fun hair accessories. For the boy: baseball cards, football cards…

  312. “So fresh and so clean clean”

    A family tradition is Reese Cup candy canes! in everyones stocking!!!

  313. Love the bath photos of Will. Such a cutie!

    So Fresh and So Clean! Stocking stuffers at our house consists of favorites candies, itunes gift cards, christmas socks and maybe some cash thrown in 🙂

  314. So fresh and so clean clean! <– btw, I used to love that song!

    Christmas stockings are the best part of Christmas! I always try to fill them with fun goodies – anything from candy to lip gloss to CDs to jewelry, and everything in between! Oh, and the dog always gets a bone in her stocking too 🙂

    On another note, love the photos – what great memories! You are truly blessed with such a beautiful child!

  315. So fresh and so clean clean!

    And candy and random goodies are the best stocking stuffers….these soaps would be perfect though! =)

  316. So fresh and so clean! Last year I found great stocking stuffers for my boyfriend from Urban Outfitters, including a Lego key chain/flashlight and crazy magnets.

  318. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I usually do things like mints, gum, beef jerky or trail mix. And I like to throw in some pens or pencils and maybe a few travel toiletries. I also wrap each item (no matter the size). My parents used to do that so I have continued for my family. It makes going through the stockings a little slower and keeps our pace for the morning relaxing!

  319. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I’m giving my husband a lense cleaning pen in his sock and giving my mom some fancy soaps! 🙂

  320. So Fresh and so Clean Clean

    My favorite stocking stuffers are make-up! One Christmas my Mom put in new eyeshadow, lipsticks, and lipglosses. I didn’t know I was getting those so it was tons of fun to unwrap!

  321. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We’re making all our stocking stuffers this year: homemade marmalade, s’mores kits (complete with homemade marshmallows and graham crackers) and Dutched hot cocoa mix!

  322. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! T shirts, cd’s, hand warmers (for my hubby’s football games, lotion, aftershave, candy, little toys, tree ornaments…you name it…Ive stuffed it….get that mind out of the gutter KB 😉

  323. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I don’t have any stockings to stuff yet, but my mom always includes candy, a few small gifts, and fruit for my sisters and our husbands.

  324. So fresh and so clean clean!

    Anything goes in our stocking stuffers. Sometimes we do toliteries, like soaps, lotions and tooth brushes. I believe there is always some socks and a fun little game. I love opening our Christmas Stockings even more then our main gifts.

  326. So Fresh and So Clean! I’ll fill my husbands stocking this year with red pens for grading papers (he’s a teacher) and my 20 month old’s with dinosaurs – he’s new favorite word!

  327. So fresh and so clean clean….. My 14 mo old son doesn’t know this now but one day he’ll thank me for putting soap in his stocking. Last year I put in small candies, toiletries, and a small gift from santa like a watch for the hubby. For my son, I think I’ll put in a small box of crayons, a new pair of kicks (it’ll be a lot harder to stuff shoes down his stocking when he gets older), and maybe a new sippy cup with a staw.

    On the topic of Christmas, I have a very important question for you. How do you keep Will out of your Christmas tree? Do you build a small fortress around it? Have a small tree up high on a table? Watch him like a hawk and just hope he doesn’t put the pine needles in his mouth before you can stop him? Like a vertically challenged tree, I’m stumped!

  328. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I love lil gifts like ear buds or gift cards and coffee!!! Plus the every day toiletries are a must!

  329. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN!

    I usually stuff the stocking with a few fun things – candy or small gifts and then a few needs- toothpaste, hair gel.

  330. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    my mom still stuff the stockings, i just get to reap the benefits 🙂

    ps. katie, you’re SO right about will getting your eyes. i was scrolling quickly down the site and i thought i saw a picture of you, i scrolled back up and it was will’s big brown eyes, not yours.

  332. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!…I don’t have any ideas for stocking stuffers this year but I did find this adorable receipe to make edible coal out of rice krispies on Pinterest!

  333. So fresh and so clean clean! I also love to give handmade soaps. Santa usually brings candy and little toys for the kids, my husband usually gets socks and I get earrings.

  334. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Stockings are my favorite- and I always throw in a bottle of green Tabasco sauce!

  336. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I have a bunch of stocking stuffers for my little guy- Bus Shaped Book, snow globe bouncy ball, slinky, cars…for my hubby I only have socks so far but I usually like to put in his favorite candy, scratch tickets, joke gifts, gift cards, etc.

  337. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I’m stuffing potporri bags filled with cedar chips that you can hand in your closet, toss in a drawer, or t hrow in your shoes to keep things smelling fantastic. They’re all handmade and i even went a little crazy and decided to stamp a pretty pattern on the fabric.

    I’ll also be making the traditional Christams cookies – because if I didn’t my family might kill me.

    Last thing: notes of appreciation. I’m making little cards with things I appreciate about each person in my family and putting them in stockings. I’m even using the wax seal I got for my birthday to close the notes 🙂

  338. So Fresh and So Clean Clean. We always do toiletries as stocking stuffers. I really hope I don’t get candy this year – so don’t need any excuse to eat more!

  339. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    My mom STILL does stockings for us, and usually they are filled with earrings and chocolates and other little things. We do them for the nieces and nephews, and usually put matchbox cars, crayons, chalk, and other small stuff in there. All wrapped individually, so as to annoy them slightly 😉

  341. I’m a big supporter of “silly” stocking stuffers – this year, my husband will be the proud owner of his very own green latern ring tucked carefully in the bottom of his stocking… oh, and maybe a piece of coal 😉

  342. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    I took advantage of the buy 3 get 3 free deal at Bath and Body Works on black Friday for some simple stocking stuffers!

  343. so fresh and so clean!
    first off, will is adorable…can you put him in my stocking? just to borrow, not to keep 🙂
    and…i don’t do stocking stuffers when i give gifts – i just give small gifts in the weeks leading up to christmas! stretches out the magic of the season 🙂

  344. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I stuff coal into stockings! Just kidding.

    This year my daughter (12.5 years) is getting a slap watch, some makeup, and fun jewelry in her stocking. My son (11 years) is getting ammo for his air-soft guns, then some Oklahoma State trinkets. And my baby boy (21.5 months) is getting cars and balls and stuff.

  345. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!!

    Funny you should post this. I just bought soap that my hubster/boyfriend loves and I get it every year for him! 🙂

  346. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I am stuffing stockings with homemade gifts this year. It’s all my wallet will allow, but I do love a sweet homemade gift!! I just haven’t decided what to make yet!

  348. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    We stuff tons of little goods in the stockings! Lip balm, toothbrushes and floss, candy, and my kids favorite…their OWN tin of smoked oysters!

  350. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Growing up, my mom always gave us the stuff she thought we “needed”. You know, nail polish remover, q-tips, but most importantly panty hose. But just knee-highs. I’m not sure what I’m giving this year, but I’m pretty certain none of those will be included!

  351. So fresh and so clean! Me me me, please pick me! 🙂 (as if that helps random.org!)

    So far I’ve picked out little Schleich animals for some of the dear kiddos in my life that collect them.

  353. So fresh and so clean clean. I like to stuff the stockings of my roommates with nail polish and lip gloss. For my family I go for ornaments and random trinkets that I think they’ll like. Maybe I should change it up this year and go for like…raw meat. Keep’em on their toes.

  354. So Fresh and Clean!!!
    I like to put in $5 gift cards in our stockings, Walmart, Subway, Starbucks, Bacon of the month Club? 🙂 LOL!! It’s nice to know the next time you want a little treat you don’t have pay for it!

  356. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean” I always put toiletries, some makeup and a little candy in the daughters stocking.

  359. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I give the hubs a toothbrush and deoderant in his stocking every year. And exciting things like socks and chapstick haha. And I LOVE that my mom gives me multiple new toothbrushes in mine….I love a new toothbrush 🙂

  360. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” My stocking stuffer of choice this year, at least for the ladies, are necklaces made by an artist in my neighborhood. She takes scrabble tiles and puts a picture on them (could be of a character or an initial) and then puts a hook on it so you can wear it on a chain. I get tons of compliments on mine, and they’re only $5 a pop.

  363. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! My mother LOVES fancy soaps, especially just like those: homemade, light and heavenly smells…! I love stuffing her stocking with little luxuries like those that she can actually use and enjoy. This year, she’s getting an ornament my sister and I made for her Christmas present – a little grocery bag with produce in it to represent the donation to WI Second Harvest Food Pantry we made in her name.

    So….we love soap! And baths! (AND ICE CREAM!)

  364. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    Candies, gift cards and a few of the smaller gifts go in our Christmas stockings!!

  365. So fresh and so clean!

    I really only have my puppy’s stocking to stuff, so she gets lots of toys and treats (and this year, a new santa hat!)

  368. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    All of the above. We typically do candy, gift cards, nail polish, jewelry.. anything that fits in a stocking! These handmade soaps would make a perfect stocking stuffer!

  369. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    My 3-1/2 year old daughter has an obsession with band-aids so I’m going to stuff her stocking full of the cute cartoon ones and I’m making some special felt/velcro ones so she can put them on her stuffed animals 🙂

  370. So Fresh and So Clean! Candy, Snacks, small toys…etc. This will be the first year my Finace and I will be doing stockings. Yay for monogramed stockings this year!

  371. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We always find an ornament from a trip we take each year and give that to our son in his stocking. My parents did the same for us while growing up and it’s great for reminscing while trimming the tree each year!

  372. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    This year I am stumped for stocking stuffers, but so far Lindt chocolate for my husband and rhythm sticks and a few books for my baby girl.

  373. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I stuff stockings according to an old Victorian Poem;

    Something to eat,
    Something to read,
    Something to play with,
    Something you need!

    It makes the job easier, and everyone expects this now. Soap would be something you NEED for some people, maybe something to PLAY with for others?

  374. So fresh and so clean!

    Stockings are my favorite part of Christmas! I always try to fit as much in them as possible – small wrapped gifts, special candy. Even my puppy is getting a stocking this year!

  375. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    OPI nail polish for the girls and stuff like lip gloss and chocolate are my favorite things to stuff in stockings!

  377. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I love notepads, stickers and candy. My mom used to give us rolls of quarters and stampls too.

  378. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    Our stockings are usually filled with toiletries and anything else small enough to fill it up – gift cards, candy, etc.

  379. So Fresh and So Clean! is it bad that i like to stuff stockings with both chocolates and toothbrush/toothpaste combo? i mean, one helps the other, right? so…i think i’ll stick with that again this year! oh yeah, and btw, when i win this prize, you can send along all the others that people haven’t claimed! (just sayin’!)

  381. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean” Speaking of tolietries, my mother always put a toothbrush in my brother and my stockings! I always put candy in them, but I guess its appropriate to have both 🙂

  382. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Stockings = chapstick. You can never have enough. This year it’s all about Eos — it’s amazing.

  384. So fresh and so clean clean! 🙂

    Stocking for this year will be filled with the usual…toothbrushes, perfumes, socks, some gift cards, and of course LOTS of candy!

  387. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I will probably stuff my son’s stocking with these dinosaur eggs that you drop in the bathtub and they fizz like a giant prehistoric alkaselzer and hatch a tiny dinosaur.

  388. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    My husband gets silly “desk flair” items for his work space, nuts, potato chips (he is a chip addict, it’s kind of ridiculous how much he loves them), candy, random fun stuff I find online, and socks (from the sock stealing gnomes).

    Our fur kids get treats, toys, and new collars in their stockings. 🙂

  389. So Fresh and So Clean!

    Stocking stuffers for the little ones are little toys, crayons, and some candy. Santa is very generous at Nana’s house though!

  390. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I like to do mostly little surprises in stockings along with a couple boring things like socks and underwear. My girls are each getting fingernail polish and clementines in their stockings this year. And hopefully soap 😉 We have eczema issues too, so I’m interested to hear how Will does with the soap!

  392. so fresh and so clean clean! well i’m giving away chocolate and all kinds of sweet things for christmas but i love the idea of toiletries.

  393. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    I think I’m mostly doing homemade treats for my husband this year in his stocking. Maybe some winter gloves as well. Annnnd some soap if I win it 🙂

  395. So fresh and so clean, clean! I loooove gum, bath and body works and any other little goody as stocking stuffer! Will is SO darn cute!

  396. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    last year, chocolate and homemade soap. not eaten together obvi!

    this year, something i made on pinterest, hehe!

  397. So fresh and so clean clean… Oh stockings are the best part of gifts on Christmas, I think. My Mom in law puts together the best stockings! We all wait patiently for stocking time then spend the day lugging the over stuffed “socks” around- digging into candies, lotions, etc.

  398. So fresh and So clean!

    My mom started the tradition of putting different colored silly string in our stockings every year for a giant silly string battle after the presents were opened. We always left the wrapping paper all over the floor to use as shields/make-shift forts during the battle. It was so fun!

  399. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I’ll be all about the food stocking stuffers this year. Hoping everyone wants peach chutney!

  400. So Fresh and So Clean Clean – we are a candy only stocking family! m&ms, mints, candy canes, kisses, yum!!

  401. So Fresh and So Clean Clean …,.

    We do a mish mash of items….some candy, some fruit, small gift items. Anything goes!!!

  404. So fresh and so clean clean!!
    Ain’t nobody don’t ask me…I’m just so fresh and clean!
    And I love to stuff stockings with small gifts and candy! NOM NOM.

  405. So fresh and so clean clean! All my nieces and nephews get different toothbrushes in their stockings!!

  406. So Fresh & So Clean! We are filling our kiddo’s stocking with some flash cards, a flashlight, and candy

  408. So fresh and so clean, clean!

    We don’t have kids yet, it’s just me and my husband [and the dog], so last year I stuffed the stockings with movies, and snacks (and a ginormous bone for Champ). This year, we’re going with magazines, snacks, a little techie gadget for each of us, and a few practical items. 🙂

  409. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Stocking stuffers are so much fun to shop for – we usually have too many and the stockings are overflowing! Standard stuff – an orange or other fruit for the toe – (last year I found an adorable little pineapple – left my husband wondering what the prickly thing was when he reached in!), candy and a new toothbrush (a good way to start off the new year!). Basically it is whatever strikes your fancy and is reasonably priced or free. And we look all year long – we have had pretty shells from a beach trip and cool rocks from mountain trips included in the past. Just whatever to make each other smile . . .

    Handcrafted soap would be an awesome addition this year!

  410. So Fresh and So Clean Clean…

    I’m still a youngin with no kids, so I don’t really stuff stockings except for my dog. I guess my favorite are rawhides in that case 🙂

  411. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I always give my husband a few essentials, including candy! Toothbrush, beater shirts, cd, etc.

  412. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I’m stuffing my husband’s stocking with jerky sticks, and fancy cheeses with crackers. I’m stuffing my baby’s stocking with packets of baby food and his first toothbrush. 🙂

  413. so fresh and so clean clean!!

    this year, since my husband is in school, we’re doing only gifts that we can stuff into stocking and get for a very minimal price. it’s making me be creative – and it’s so much fun! 🙂

  414. so fresh and so clean clea
    (that song was popular when i was a freshman i college… and i may or may not still like it :))
    –
    my stocking: undies and lotion (ihad to buy for myself)
    husband’s: chip clips, popcorn seasoning, lotto tix
    baby: socks, teething key things, and something else i forgot
    dogs:dog treats!

  415. So fresh and So Clean!

    These look amazing!

    I’m stuffing my husband’s stocking with a bag of some nice coffee.

  416. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Our little girl’s stocking this year will be filled with socks, a new toothbrush, and some new organic baby soap!

  417. So Fresh and So Clean!

    Well lets see…Christmas Stockings. I do not know but maybe a little of this and that and maybe some soap!

    Merry Christmas!

  418. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Our stockings are usually stuffed with the necessary toiletries and candy- candy is necessary too 🙂

  420. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Travel sized items and goofy things near checkout lines make the best stocking stuffers

  421. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! my baby girl struggles with eczema also so i would LOVE to try these soaps! (and maybe put some in my sister’s stockings 🙂 )

  423. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I’m not a candy stuffer. We do an orange, gum, a candy cane and a few trinkets. I haven’t even bought presents yet so I have yet to think about stocking stuffers…

  424. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I grew up with stockings full of soaps, body washes, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. I’ll continue that tradition with my kid. He’s getting a Yo Gabba Gabba toothbrush and I’m sure that will be all that matters lol.

  425. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I would love sparkles in my stocking this year! Rings, earring, necklaces….any of the above!

    P.S. I’m liking the new layout on ABP! Great job!

  426. So fresh and so clean clean! Stocking this year will be practical – socks and underwear for the husband, snacks for the baby, and treats and a toy for the cats 🙂 But I’d love some soap for mine!

  427. So fresh and so clean, clean!

    My fiancee and I are only stuffing stockings this year, no gifts! We’re going to be filling them with wedding bands for one another, trinkets, toiletries, and candy! I’m excited to start shopping and finding little mementos to surprise him with!

  429. So Fresh and So Clean

    No stockings at our house this year. In the past I have put money, jewlery, makeup and other miscellaneous items.

  430. so fresh and so clean clean!

    I’m fairly new to the stocking concept (we never did them in my house growing up) but my fiance and I are doing them for each other this year. I’ve got a pretty wide assortment of things ready for his – a couple children’s books (he loves them), candy, a nice pen, a christmas ornament, and a sweet note telling him how much I love him. 🙂

  431. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! These would make GREAT stocking stuffers, but so far I’ve bought bath stuff, small boxes of chocolates, fun socks, DVD’s, Sbux gift cards…stuff like that. I have no kiddos yet, so I stuff stockings for my hubs, sister, parents, grandma and aunt. Girls are fun to shop for stocking stuffers for, guys are tough.

  433. “So Fresh and So Clean, Clean”
    I like to stuff stockings with a toothbrush, floss and Chocolate!

  434. So Fresh and So Clean!
    *Not sure if I submitted this already, I had computer problems!
    My baby will be 5.5 months for Christmas, so he’s probably not getting any stuffers. Maybe Gammy and Poppy will give him some, since we’re heading home for the holiday!

  435. So fresh and so clean clean…I have boys so the stocking will be filled with nerf swords, stamps made out of cars, boats, etc., and just a little bit of candy…let’s face it, they have enough energy as it is 🙂

  436. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Our stockings are always filled with essentials (toothbrush, socks, underwear, etc), fun little gifts and candy! Love Christmas time!

  438. So fresh and so clean clean! I actually don’t have to fill any stockings, our parents still do that for us, typically w/ things like toothbrushes, panties, etc.

  440. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    i get chocolate and toiletries in my stockings. and sometimes a small gift 🙂

  441. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I always put my husbands favorite candy and shaving accessories in his stocking. And for my fur-baby he gets toys and treats.

  442. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    Not sure what I’ll put in stockings…mainly because my husband and I don’t have any kiddos–we leave town before Christmas to visit family. (It seems a bit silly to stuff our own stockings you know?) However…this year I’m really into sparkly nail polish, so maybe I’ll drop a bottle in our little sisters’ stockings. (LOL @Stephanie–Astronaut ice cream is a brilliant idea!)

  443. So fresh, and so clean clean!

    I always end up putting socks, candy, and other small things in stockings… nothing fancy!

  444. I will be “So Fresh and So Clean” if I win this one!
    Oh, stockings. I must remember to get something for stockings. I always forget those, and often stocking stuffers are afterthoughts around here. Last year we did lotto tickets for my husband and who knows what I threw into the boys’ ???.

  445. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I love chocolate in my stocking 🙂 I usually buy little stocking stuffers from Bath and Body Works for all the girls in the family.

  446. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We haven’t done stockings in the past because I always figured I needed a mantel from which to hang them, but my friend gently pointed out the existence of stocking hangers, so this may be the year. I would definitely not limit myself to candy only – trinkets and even soap would be fair game.

  447. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My husband’s stocking is usually a mismatch of lotto tickets, body wash, and small tools. Growing up, we always got candy, gum, chap stick, and travel kleenax!

  449. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean”
    I want to give one of those Superballs you talked about over the summer to my 4 year old nephew!

  450. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I usually put chapsticks, lotions, candy in my girls’ stockings. They love it! It’s so much fun!

  451. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN
    I stuff with socks. Bahahaha! My 6th grade self would be MORTIFIED by that statement. I also stuff with scratch offs.

    PS. I know we’re not friends in real life, but I like to pretend, so I sent you an Email with a bacon poster. I hope you got it! Happy holidays!

  452. So fresh and so clean!

    Stocking stuffers are always so much fun. We do a mix of candy, toiletries, and gift cards. Love them all!

  453. So Fresh and so Clean, Clean!!
    My new husband and I say this to each other all the time. He wouldn’t be caught dead claiming to use “girly” soap, but I just caught him buying fat-free Ranch the other day…So, I never say never! As for his stocking stuffer? Chocolate oranges all the way!

  456. So fresh and so clean clean! (Love it!! — takes me back to junior high!)

    We normally stuff with candy mainly and then pretty much anything else that will fit. I normally get one or two bath products and some giftcards.

  457. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We always give toothbrushes in stockings (and in Easter baskets) to combat all the holiday treats!

  458. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    This years’ stocking stuffers will include mini umbrellas (for the kids so they stop taking mine) and lego minifigures! We also include the biggest oranges and pomegranates we can locate for a Christmas morning treat! 🙂

  461. HOLY COW! You guys are AMAZING! I’m pretty sure you all just completely sold me out of stock! I had NO IDEA I would get this kind of response. I feel super blessed!

    As an FYI – because I do cold process soaps if I make a few batches this weekend (which I will) they still won’t be ready until after Christmas since there is a four week cure time. So definitely check back in January for some more soaps coming your way!

  462. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I always try to do some sort of candy and a little trinket in the stockings, that’s what I was raised getting.

  463. So fresh & so clean clean!
    Growing up, my family didn’t really “stuff” stockings- maybe a pack of M&M’s & some sticks of gum… But then I got married to the official “stocking stuffer” of the world… My husband will put anything into a stocking that can possibly fit- DVD’s, wall art, candy, body spray, naughty & nice things…It all goes in the stocking. As you can imagine, our stockings are mammoth- literally like 2 feet long! 🙂 We could fit our 14 month old in them…

    So soap would be right at home in our stockings!

  464. “So Fresh and So Clean Clean” – Usually its some necessities like chapstick, mints, socks, and then some fun things like a movie, or gift cards.

  465. So Fresh and So Clean–we stuff the stockings with candy bars and pencils notepads and little toys/markers.:)

  468. So fresh & so clean clean!

    I stuff stockings with candy and little knick knacks like travel sized shampoo and soap.

  469. so fresh and so clean clean..stuffing with homemade peppermint patties and pb cups and choc covered pretzels!

  471. So fresh and so clean clean! I will be stuffing stockings for my 3 year old with candy and a parachute army man! The 3 mo old will be getting cute little toys in his!

  473. so fresh and so clean clean! no stocking stuffers this year. we don’t have any stockings…but plan to get cute ones after christmas during a good sale! but if i were to stuff stockings…i would buy lots of chocolates.

  475. So Fresh and So Clean Clean”
    I am thinking small umbrellas, G I Joes, wierd candy and whoopie cushions.

  476. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I think I got this from my Mom, but I like to stuff stockings with toiletries and office supplies. Seriously. When I open my stocking (because I still get one from my Mom, at 26-years-old) and find Post-Its, my day is that much better. What girl doesn’t love Office Max?!

  478. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I fill my hubby’s stockings with food! Strange and unusual fruits, stinky cheese, fancy olives, and perhaps a local beer. He loves it!

  479. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I don’t give stockings, but I do still get one from my parents! 🙂 I can usually find gum, candy, and a $20 bill in mine…can’t really go wrong with that!

  480. so fresh and so clean clean!!!

    i like to keep my stocking stuffing eclectic… while traditional. i will do candy, socks, smell good, medicine, lottery tickets, and even big gifts (small in size, heftier on price tag). =)

  481. ‘So fresh and so clean clean’

    I love to put the essentials in the stockings. I normalls do socks and undies and a fingernail set. Toothbrushes . . . all the good stuff! 🙂

  482. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    Favorite stocking stuffer is chapstik….ALWAYS need it in every purse and pocket (except for the ones that are going in the wash….but even then, they seem to survive).

  483. so fresh and so clean clean! my hubby usually gets fun toys, like a desktop volcano or rubix cube, and lots of snacky treats!

  484. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I like putting apples and oranges in stockings! It’s a family tradition!

  485. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Stockings in my family have always included chapstick, oranges, and whole pecans, not matter how old we were.

    Now I get practical things like tire air pressure measurers. & flashlights! My parents are so smart 🙂

  487. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I love fresh oranges (we always had them growing up) and a couple good books. Food for my mind and body:)

  488. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!!

    We always stuff our stockings with candy and tiny travel games…and a gift card for each person to their favorite store!

    When I was growing up, my mom individually wrapped everything (except candy) in the stocking. Made it extra fun to sift through!

  489. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We typically don’t do any major stocking stuffers… maybe candy or toiletries, but never anything as fancy as these awesome soaps!

  490. So Fresh and So Clean!

    batteries, lots and lots of chapstick, tape, scissors (things we need but can’t always find), my husband’s favorite tictacs (orange) and a stupid toy from the dollar store (glow stick swords or the huge sunglasses)

  491. So fresh and so clean clean!
    Fancy little soaps are one of my fave stocking stuffers to give and receive! Also love chapstick/lip gloss, candy/gum, and little throwback toys like Silly Putty and Barrel of Monkeys 🙂

  492. So fresh and so clean clean. We already celebrated Christmas with my family since we’ll be out of country for the actual holiday. We put some candy and small gifts in the stockings.

  496. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I plan to make or otherwise acquire stockings before Christmas 2012 for my husband, me, and the baby girl we’ll have by then, but for this year we’ll still just be getting stockings from my parents, so I won’t be filling any of my own. My mom has always done the stockings, and she tends towards small toiletries & office supplies, plus the toe of the stocking stuffed with Dove chocolates.

  497. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” We always do a tangarine, a toothbrush, a chocolate santa and a pair of socks. Then a couple little toys. And for my teens. Giftcards.

  498. so fresh & so clean — this year im stuffing chapstick, a garlic saver thingy, travel toiletries, gloves, toolshop pencils, starbucks giftcards, and random items that i find along the way as i do my Christmas shopping. my fiance and i love stocking stuffers; enough that we wrap every single one 🙂

  499. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I love to put toilitries. Especially the special pricey ones:)
    I also always put something fun like a mini lego set and then functional like dress socks for the hubby this year. Merry Christmas!

  501. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I def. go the toiletries route. This is the time of year we stock up and if we’re lucky, we don’t have to buy the stuff again til next Christmas, haha!

  502. So fresh and so clean, clean!
    We stuff stockings with anything we find.

    Candy, dry fruit, money, jewelry, peanuts in the shell—
    the fun thing is every item is individually packed and customized for that individual. Sometimes in larger packing with a small item or in zip lock bags and then wrapped. Sometimes it’s a joke you wrote down– it doesn’t matter and that’s the beauty of it!

  503. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    My hubby and I do exclusively stockings each year. We never really need anything so we fill stockings with fun gifts, treats, and heart-felt memories. Last year my favorite thing was a card from my sweet husband saying he was ready to start trying to have a baby. We will welcome our first child sometime in the next 5 weeks. He also got be a huge bottle of bubble bath that I LOVED!

  504. So Fresh and So Clean, Clean!

    My stocking stuffers will be limited to my pets since I have no kids. Yes, the pets have their own stockings and they do get stuffed! Maybe some for my boyfriend, if I’m feeling generous. 😉

  505. SO Fresh SO Clean… My mom gives me the same thing in my stocking ever year — clear Cover Girl mascara. I have insane eyelashes and really dark brown eyes so if I wear black mascara it makes me look like my eyes are closed. My mom discovered clear mascara which separates the lashes and gives them a little shape without the dark color. Moms are the best!

  506. SO Fresh SO Clean…I have a five year old daughter, so we are all about the Barbies and Hello Kitties this year! Long live Santa Claus!

  507. So Fresh and So Clean!

    My mom always stuffs my stocking with toiletries! Especially makeup, since its expensive…is 30 too old to have your mom stuff your stocking??? I don’t think so!

  510. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I would totally go the sweets/candy/chocolate route in stuffing stockings!

  511. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Usually little items from Target or small gifts I pick up through out the yr.

  512. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I’m stuffing my daughter’s stocking with nail polish, body creams, body wash – anything pink and girly!

  513. So fresh and so clean clean! My mom stuffs stockings with bath stuff, cute socks, sometimes a gift card, favorite candies (especially tic-tacs!), and any other fun little surprises that fit in there. My mother-in-law does more candy and one year, randomly, apples and oranges haha. My husband and I don’t really stuff stockings for each other but we always stuff the dog’s stocking and love watching him dig everything out!

  514. So fresh and so clean!

    My girls stockings will be filled with a little bit of candy, crayons, pencils, body spray for my oldest and a DVD in each stocking.

  515. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    I was hoping to make soaps for stocking stuffers this year. But with a full-time job and a 9-month-old son… we’ll see if my schedule let’s me do that or not! LOL

  517. So Fresh and So Clean Clean ~ My girls love to get things like nail polish, hair gel, lip balm, etc. So the stockings will be filled with that and some candy.

  519. So fresh and so clean clean!

    No stocking is complete without a Pez dispenser, no matter how old you are. And usually some toiletries and stuff.

  520. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I totally do toiletries too for stocking stuffers! Also candy and other edibles.

  521. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I haven’t put too much thought into stocking stuffers just yet. I have a 6 month old so I’m thinking something along the lines of pacifiers or a rattle? And then my husband will get some red vines (he prefers those over Twizzlers which is blasphamy in my book, but I’m stuck with him) and some other little odds and ends.

    And I think Will looks exactly like you.

  522. So fresh & so clean clean!!

    I am with you on the toiletries in my stocking! Can’t get enough shampoo/conditioner, hair stuff, face stuff!

  524. So fresh and so clean clean!!!!
    I am actually planning on finally buying some stockings. Chocolate is definatly goes in there, some socks, and tangerines!!!

  525. So Fresh and so Clean Clean!

    Story time: Last year my fiance remarked that the stockings were “kinda lame”. This year, there are toiletries, candy, and a Kindle Fire in the bottome of his stocking. Lame I think not 😉

    P.S.- I adore your blog and read daily and I’m a tish bit addicted. Not in a creepy stalker way but in a pleasantly excited I found someone creative way.

  526. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    My girls are 7 and 2 and I’ve always done fancy toiletries (you know the ones that are too expensive to buy on a regular basis but are perfect for birthdays/holidays??), old fashioned toys (ball-in-a-cup, those little wooden finger puppets, little games, etc) and apples/oranges. 🙂 This year however, I’m also adding office supplies for my oldest since she’s totally into the colorful pens, stickers, and cute stationary. And for my youngest, I’m adding big girl panties since she’s almost officially done potty-training. I’m so excited for Christmas!! 🙂

  527. Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    Usual stuffers are Pez and guitar strings for the husband and earrings and chocolate for me 🙂

  530. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I stock stockings with trinkets and little gifts. Sometimes it’s things that I want, but since my family has a no-buying rule after November 1, I’ll get the item for my sisters and myself and call it a win-win.

    I checked back on all the past prizes – if you don’t want to repick, I’ll gladly volunteer 🙂

  532. So fresh & so clean clean! I love kind of big “little” gifts. Like small in size but that pack a punch… like really nice hand lotion, nice-sized gift cards, jewelry, etc. So people think they’ve reached the end of the presents, but they haven’t really!

  533. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I love tioletries, nail polish, movies, books, and new undies! Yay stockings!

  534. So fresh and so clean clean!

    My favorite stocking stuffers are childhood nostalgia picks- a chocolate orange, and new cushy socks.

  535. So fresh & so clean, clean! Definitely stuffing stockings with an assortment of underwear, toiletries, and candy – the necessities with a little fun. And dog treats for Scout, our Jack-Russell Schnauzer mix.

  536. So fresh and so clean clean! Santa always leaves chocolates and sweet little jewelry in the stockings in my house! Sometimes, Starbucks cards. He knows!

  537. So fresh and so clean clean! We stuff our stockings with m&ms and clementines…a family tradition 🙂

    Question… I was going to check out/buy some soap with our fancy shmancy discount, but she’s got a sold out message on the top. Do you know if the things that look like they’re still offered are indeed available to buy? Thanks!

  538. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!

    We do stuff toiletries in stockings, as well as some small gifts like books, gift cards, etc. Some candy at the every bottom!
    Baby boy will be getting some toiletries plus a sippy straw cup and some other small goodies I hope to find:)

  539. So fresh & so clean clean!

    I fill our stockings with items from the drugstore. So many things you can find in those stores!

    Also, I’m loving the new blog design, and Will is super Cute! I know whatcha mean about giving lots of kisses, I worry I do that to my 15 month old everyday! And Will looks mostly like you…..that’s my opinion.

  540. So fresh and so clean clean!

    I stuff stocking with necessities, socks, toothbrushes, hair bows, etc. I guess I could do apples and oranges like my mom always did:)

  541. So fresh and so clean, clean.
    We stuff candy, lots of dollar store items and a couple of large oranges to take up space at the bottom!

  542. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We fill stockings with little toys/trinkets…maybe a little candy too! Stockings are fun, like the icing on the cake.

  543. Yup – they are officially sold out. I guess that our readers were really excited about the soap and ordered every last ounce! She has some new soaps crafting up though – they should be ready in January!

  544. So fresh so clean!! Makeup, makeup remover and facial stuff for the gals and socks, soaps and earbuds for the guys! Love some of that great soap for my stocking!! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  546. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I am all about the fancy soap this year! It has been my go-to hostess gift, so of course it will be a great stocking stuffer as well. My must have stocking stuffers are underwear, warm socks, and spatulas ( that one is a weird tradition that my mom and I started and now I am pretty much addicted to silicon kitchen products.)

  547. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We always stuff our stockings with the same things: new socks, candy, a new book, and toiletries (tooth brush, tooth paste, etc).

  548. So Fresh and so Clean Clean clean

    Since I have three boys, I don’t do a lot of toiletries in Christmas stockings. It’s more like, gaming mags, candy, cars, cards and itunes gift cards. But I would love these soaps to pamper myself!

  549. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Great now I have that song stuck in my head 🙂 I would love to have some of this soap in my stocking, hint hint. I very strongly dislike trinkets that I have to throw away and I’m not a candy girl (I know, I know!), so I’m more of a practical gal. Boring is my middle name!

  551. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I usually stuff random things in stockings…socks, candy, DVDs, whatever fits so I don’t have to wrap it!

  553. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We normally do a mix of candy, random toiletries, socks, and any other fun random things I find! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  554. So fresh and so clean!
    I plan on filling the stockings with candy, small gifts(train whistle and $5movies!) and toiletries!! I love filling stockings at Christmas!

  556. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    Eeek! I still need to decide! I love candy but hopefully I’ll find some other little trinkets. My parents do trinkets, candy, and scratch tickets but we never win.

  558. So fresh and so clean clean!
    Stuffing stockings is so much fun-this year, mine will definitely include the mini peppermint bark bars from Williams Sonoma, silly putty (every year!), packs of gum, racquetballs, and other goodies. 🙂
    Will is such a cute little squirt-he is about the same age as my niece and they make the same funny faces. Love it!

  559. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    It’s too early to know what I’m stuffing stockings with. Typically it’s some candy, some fruit, an ornament and a few other little things.

  560. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!!
    I’m planning on stuffing the stockings with $5 gift cards, candy, toiletries, and some small nick nack toys!

  563. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I’m going with wool socks this year in the stockings, along with some locally-made soaps. I’ve been storing them together for a while, so the socks already smell good!

  564. so fresh and so clean!

    I usually stuff stockings with candy, christmas tree ornaments and gift cards.

  565. So FRESH & SO CLEAN CLEAN! I am stuffing my daughter’s stocking with some beauty products. She’s big on skin care & good smelly stuff. My Boy…all he cares about are Legos.

  566. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    Great giveaway, thanks for offering! I like to put a lot of little things in stockings- candies, socks, undies, jewelry, flashlight, chapstick, kitchen utensils…. pretty much a mish-mash.

  567. So fresh and so clean clean! My mother-in-law still does our stockings. We get lots of little things- my favorite is the gift cards!

  568. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” Candles and good smelling items because they are all stinky teenagers and young twentyish college students!

  569. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! In my house stockings are for soaps, tooth brushes, deodorant and other smell goods!

  570. Oh so fresh and so clean!

    I love supporting goods that are natural and good for your body! It would be great to have this in our newly reno’d bathroom!

  571. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I like toiletries and makeup in my stocking. I tend to stuff others’ with candy though 😛 i’m actually doing a toiletry gift basket for my brother and his girlfriend this year. i really hope they like it and don’t think i’m hinting at something by buying them shampoo and body wash.

  572. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I did a little internet sleuthing for stocking stuffers this year. A while back my sister picked me up after surgery – HIGHLY doped up, mind you – and I was so eternally, hopped-up-on-drugs grateful when she applied my Chapstick for me that I told her repeatedly that she was my “best friend ever.” And threw my arms so wide I knocked myself down. But anyhoo…. found a couple “Best Friend Ever” books (yay Richard Scarry!) that will blow away all of the boring stocking stuffers that my mom gets her. Winner!

  573. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    – Stocking stuffers. My family normally does toiletries and nick-knacks. We used to do candles and smell good things until my mom put the stockings too close to the lit fire place. It turns out Santa brought us hot melted wax all over our filled stockings. Merry Christmas to us! (:

  574. So fresh and so clean! I’ll be stuffing homemade little things into stockings this year – I also picked up a bunch of cute pier 1 toys on clearance from last Christmas, stored them with our Christmas decorations, and discovered that I already had a handful of stocking stuffers ready to go!

  575. So Fresh and So Clean … trinkets, small gifts, a little candy (nothing that will melt in that proximity to the fire!)

  576. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I have not decided about the stockings completely this year. Usually I just add some chocolates on Christmas Eve, but I may put some little trinkets in there this year. My little guy turned 2 in August, so he is that perfect age to REALLY get in to the holiday. Because of that I have been getting a bit carried away with gifts, so who knows what will end up in the stockings! Yikes!

  577. Hi ellie! Yes, I am indeed sold out. Completely. Every. Last. Bit. It was totally unexpected (or I would have made 200 more bars in October!). Unfortunately they take 4 weeks to cure before they can be sold, so anything I make in December won’t be ready until January. Definitely check in mid-January though and I should start to have some more items in stock. Thanks for checking us out! I appreciate it so much.

  578. So fresh and so clean clean! We don’t do stockings but I think next year we might because our little baby girl will be one , no idea what we will stuff them with but candy sounds great!

  579. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We stuff those stockings with candy, gift cards and teeny tiny toys! Oh and a new toothbrush!

  580. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I love giving candy and fun little things in stockings. I’m actually giving my boyfriend some nice shaving lather in his this year, so I guess I do give toiletries!

  581. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    I stuff our stockings with toiletries and fun little trinkets from $1 store or anything I can give that would make someone die of laughter!

  582. Hey everyone! Thank you SO MUCH for entering this contest, I can’t wait to ship these off to the winner. For those who have tried to buy – we are indeed completely sold out for Holiday 2011, but we will be rolling out the following soaps throughout January!

    I’ll have updates about them on our Facebook page, as well as updating now and again on them on my blog Like A Cup Of Tea (http://www.likeacupoftea.com).

    Ohh La La! French Green Clay
    Soothing Molasses Castile
    Little Bebe Bottom
    Rose Hip Oatmeal

    xo,
    Heather

  583. Well, I didn’t technically come to comment to enter the contest, but, okay

    So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    And i stuff my stockings with feet. Wait, I’m sorry, what was the question?

    Anyway – came to say that second picture of Will up there – he looks JUST LIKE YOU!

    I know how you feel. I birthed a mini-husband and there’s really no proof the kid is actually mine. C-section. Who knows what went on behind that curtain.

  584. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We typically do small trinkets for stocking stuffers, some games, candy and stuff from the dollar spot at Target!

  585. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Favorite stocking stuffer to recive is socks. This year the kiddos will be getting Trader Joe’s cereal bars, the hubby pretzel M&M’s and the house mascot/small pony/BFF/Bullmastif will be getting Greenies.

  586. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!!

    We put lottery scratch offs in our stockings. It’s become our annual late night Christmas day tradition. 🙂

  587. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I am filling stockings with dollar bin stuff from Target – including little toys, socks, lotions etc.

  588. So fresh and so clean clean! We don’t actually do stockings, but would LOVE these soaps!!

  589. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! We don’t do stockings, but I would love some fancy, handmade soap. I noticed she’s sold out, so I can’t wait to order some next year.

  590. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Stockings staples are toiletries –always razors, for some reason and tic tacs! There are always some other fun things, too. The bath soaps would fit right in!

  591. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Our stockings usually get stuffed with a little food, a little candy, a comic book and a toy…

  592. “So fresh and so clean clean” I usually do candy, little toys, and maybe tights for our girls 🙂

  594. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I try to stay away from candy in the stockings if at all possible. Not because I’m the militant mom who doesn’t want her kid’s teeth rotting out of his head (yes, that would be bad) but more because of the Great Melted Chocolate in the Stocking Disaster of 2007. Let’s just say that if you hang your stockings over the fireplace, you need to make a serious decision about whether or not you will either have candy in the stockings or have the fireplace on. You can’t have both. I found that out the hard way. So, now I do little toiletries and such. If I’m the lucky winner, I will even put these soaps in MY stocking so that Mommy’s stocking gets a little filling too!

  595. Hi Paulina! We’ll be back in January starting to roll out some more soaps. So definitely check back. If you take a look at the website on the left are the soaps we’re going to have out by the end of January. I absolutely love making these, and love sharing them with you all. I feel so blessed to have had so much love from you guys that I sold out.

    xo,
    Heather

  597. So fresh and so CLEAN CLEAN! I’m leaving lots of gerber and earth’s best treats in my little guy’s stocking…as well as a new sippy cup and a few small toys!

  598. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!! Oh what memories of bathtime….my baby is 16 now and is a water baby also….ocean, lake, pond, pool, bath…where ever!!! Love your website and notice your stressing over baby 2. Don’t stress!!! That can mess up things!!

    Stockings are filled with toiletries, earrings, M&Ms!!!

  599. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    This year we’re doing candy, nuts, and fruit, but I may sneak in a Starbucks gift card or some little travel size cosmetic items.

  600. So fresh and so clean! My mother-in-law always does the stockings, so I’m not sure what’ll be in them this year. There’s always candy involved!

  601. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Oh how I love this giveaway! This year for stocking stuffers I am using all of my couponed trial size freebies and adding in fancy things like fuzzy socks and mini bottle of champange.

  602. So Fresh and So Clean Clean…

    I stuff stockings with candy, tooth brushes (ironic) lotions, lip balm…really anything that I pick up that is cheap and looks fun.

  604. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I love putting the essentials in, socks, gum, chapstick, but in fun packaging for memorable moments for things we all need, could use some great bath soaps!!!!

  606. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We’re doing all dollar gifts in our stockings this year and thinking about making this the norm for our extended family Christmas next year. That way, everyone would get 17 gifts worth a dollar instead of one gift worth $20 – isn’t that more fun???

    Katie, Will is beautiful! And despite what you say, he definitely looks like you 🙂

  607. So Fresh and So Clean, Clean – We are Jewish and don’t do stockings, but we do exchange small gifts for Hanukah. I’m planning to make my step-kids chalkboard door hangers and my baby a book with family faces inside. 🙂

  608. So fresh & so clean! I normally just hang the stocking empty – maybe this year I’ll actually put something in them…now to figure out what that is!

  609. So fresh and so clean clean!
    I love filling stocking with toiletries! It’s a tradition that started with my mom putting a new toothbrush in our stockings, which we thought was hilarious. Now I’m doing it for my family, though I’ve upgraded the stocking stuffers to include hand lotions and lip balm!!

  610. So fresh and so clean clean!

    We love cozy warm socks, books, music, and whatever quirky treat Santa finds for the year!

  611. ” So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    Stocking stuffer–anything practical that’s small–like orange peelers, small lotions, etc.

  613. So Fresh and So Clean!
    Our stockings aren’t complete without a few scratch-off lotto tickets!

  614. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” A little bit of everything…. toiletries, candies, small gifts..

  615. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean” I love to use candy, trinkets, small gifts, toiletries.. really anything that’ll fit!

  616. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! We always restock the boys’ toothbrushes, toothpaste, bandaids and soaps in the stocking. They get other small things too like stickers and matchbox cars 🙂

  617. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    I typically do fruit (oranges and apples), a little candy (something chocolate and something sweet), gum, a small toy or two, one of those fancy spinning toothbrushes (the only time of year I buy them) and a book. I haven’t bought stockings since we had our first child which means we only have 3. That is enough for the 3 little ones we have now so my husband and I don’t do stockings.

  618. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I love magazines and little bath stuff in stocking stuffers. I’ve never had to stuff a stocking. Maybe I should start this year. 🙂

  620. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I always give the kids a new toothbrush in their stockings. They actually love it:-)

  621. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! I’ll prob do candy and some small local gifts. You never know what you will find when you shop main street!

  622. So Fresh and So Clean Clean
    In stockings, we usually do fruit and some chocolates, and then small gift cards, cute little ornaments or trinkets, and little gadgets!

  623. So Fresh and So Clean CLEAN!

    This year I’m going to stuff my family’s stockings with handmade gifts like knitted hats and crocheted scarves that I’ve been working on since our hot and sweaty September (don’t worry, the hats aren’t sweaty though, that’d be gross)! I found videos on YouTube that were super easy to follow, and now I’m crafting up a storm!

  625. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
    We stuff our stockings (metal buckets) with small toys and candy!

  626. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    We stuff our stockings with whatever I see at Target that fits. Can be socks, gum, & other small things! Stockings are the best 🙂

  627. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! We don’t owen stockings…yet. Still looking for the perfect ones for me, the hubs and our two sweet girls.

  628. So fresh & so clean clean!

    I’ve never had stockings hanging on the fireplace so there was never anything to fill, but my mom always had little presents under the tree that I think would be the equivalent to this. I think if I were to be the one stuffing stockings during the holiday season, mine would definitely be a mix of sugary goods and little trinkets. Lovelovelove.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  629. I can’t believe you think Will only resembles you in the eyes…I think he is your little clone in every way! Seriously, spitting image, Katie!

  630. So Fresh and So Clean Clean. With 3 kids who all like to use MY girly soap, this would be divine they could all have their own.

  632. SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!!!

    My DH has a favorite shaving cream and razor, so I always make sure to drop those in his stocking. As well as, gum, trinkets, candy, and whatever small items remind me of him. 🙂

  633. So fresh and so clean clean. We will have silly toys, toiletries, and kitchen gadgets in the stockings. 🙂

  634. so fresh and so clean clean !
    i usually shove what ever will fit in the sock in there cause i tend to forget!!!

  635. So fresh and do clean clean! Our family tradition is “socks and skiivies” in our stockings, so they get filled up with Hanes products of all kinds!

  636. So fresh and so clean clean! We always put useful things like toiletries in the stockings but also fun stuff like candy and toys. Would love to win the soap!

  637. SO fresh and so clean!

    I am stuffing the traditional CANDY in my husband’s stocking along with a ‘thin blue line’ paracord key fob.

    I could use some more ideas! Still looking around.

  638. ”So Fresh and So Clean Clean”

    I plan on doing gift cards or chocolates. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  639. So Fresh and So Clean Clean! Haha. We do mainly necessities in our stockings – toothbrushes, floss, K-Cups, etc etc. But instead of putting them in stockings (we have lost our stockings in the basement like 3 times), mom gets us something that we’ll use for the rest of the year to stuff. 2 years ago it was a reuseable grocery bag, last year it was a cute LL Bean style tote that had our initial in plaid on the front from Christmas Tree Shop – nothing fancy but way more useful than a stocking that will be lost!

  641. So Fresh and So Clean Clean

    I picked up folding toothbrushes for everyone at Target… I use these when I travel & I love them, so I figured my in-laws, out-laws, and everyone else would love them too…

  642. So fresh and so CLEAN C LEAN

    I am German, so I am not really familiar with the stocking stuffing tradition, but our advent calendars would always hold candy and chocolate to sweeten the wait until Christmas.

  643. So Fresh and So Clean Clean!

    Hubs and I do not have children yet (fingers constantly crossed for that test to be positive!) so no stockings. We have a neice that we purchased an Amigurumi Crochet Doll for – it would fit in a bigger stocking! :o)

  644. Hi Miss Katie! I was wondering if a winner was already selected for this one. If so, who was it? I’m crossing my fingers here! 🙂

  646. Sooooo Katie…. I know you’re a busy woman but could you take a moment to tell me what happened with this giveaway. Was there a winner announced or am I just totally missing something? I guess if I had won I’d know already.

    Thank you ma’am.

  647. Count me in as another one checking to see if anyone ever won. I don’t see an announcement in the post or the comments and it’s been almost two months! The soaps I did order are almost out, could use some more! 😉

  648. I notify each winner also through email – so if you didn’t get an email from me (using the email address you left) then you probably aren’t the winner. Hopefully next time though! And also – the winner is announced at the end of the post – so it should be there at the very end.
    Let me know if I left it out of any other giveaways so that I can be sure to list it!
