The Stuffing of the Sock

I need help (no snide remarks necessary, thank you). Christmas is only 5 days away. The stockings soon will be hung by the chimney with care - well, on the mantle over the gas fireplace at least (no chimney involved), and I will be responsible for filling one of them. SO - what to put in the stocking of a 47 year old male pastor? I've got a couple of things, and have asked him for a list (which so far includes a new tooth brush, a tin of Altoids, brown shoelaces, black shoelaces (he's getting crazy here) and one Montana scratch lottery ticket in honor of my Grandma Muggie who put a lottery ticket in everyone's stocking each year). It's a good list, a fairly practical list, really, but not all that much fun. Thus I am taking suggestions. Grant: no fair peeking at the comments. Santa's watching...

Small toys. Lip balm. Deck of cards. Goofy game (lots of different card games out there). ? Flair! Everyone likes flair!

I also forgot: a tradition in our family - a mandarian orange (or tangerine), gold chocolate coins, and real coins (quarters, silver dollars, nickels, etc.).

Glad to see the tangerine in the video! Good stocking job!
