The anatomy of a perfect Christmas stocking

Header image for Interrobang article
Underwear & Socks:
You know you're an adult when you look forward to receiving staples such as underwear and socks as gifts.

Lottery Scratch Cards:
Try your luck this holiday season. If you don't win big, at least you had fun. If you do win big, our office is located in SC1012. We'll be here.

Donation:
In the spirit of generosity, spread some holiday cheer to those in need!

Golf Balls:
Have a ball this season. Heck, have three balls.

Face Masks: Available at many drug stores, a face mask can be a soothing way to wind down from the hectic holiday season.

Mini Bottles of Booze:
Whether it's to liven up your holidays or just to get through, mini bottles of booze are a welcome addition to any adult stocking.

Magazines:
Whether you're into sports, wood, music, knitting, fashion, cats or celebrity gossip, there's probably a magazine devoted entirely to your favourite subject.

Candy: With your New Year's resolution creeping up, stuff your face while you still can.

Gift Cards:
If you know someone really well, you know where they shop. A gift card to one of your favourite stores or restaurants, or for something more practical like gas and groceries, makes for a much-appreciated gift.

Gift Set Samplers:
Stores like Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart offer a variety of sample packs and gift sets for both men and women. Many sets include various perfumes, lotions and makeup samples so you can find your new favourites.

School Supplies:
Another boring necessity, but who doesn't need another USB stick or fresh printer ink for the new semester?

Razors:
They may not be the most exciting stocking stuffer, but it sure is nice not to be the one buying these expensive necessities.

Orange:
Traditionally, receiving an orange in the toe of your stocking was a real treat, as those fruits weren't readily available during the winter season in colder climates. Today, it's a symbolic gesture that harkens back to those times.
