Stocking Stuffer Ideas Part Deux

Today we’ve got some more good ideas from another great knick knack website, Kikkerland. I also threw in a couple of kid gift ideas. And yes, even kids have personality types — remember nurture is only a small part of who we are, there’s a lot of nature in personality type. But, on to our first Kikkerland idea: submarine reusable ice cubes. These chill a drink without watering it down. Good for all personality types who enjoy a chilled Chardonnay without the wait — so maybe only skip this one for Smart Structures (NTJ). I could never see the latter enjoying a glass of white wine with a yellow sub inside it.

Next up is the 5-minute shower. A timer. I’d say skip the Organics (NFs) for these ones because even the eco-friendly ones are not going to be super jazzed about a 5 minute shower. In fact, I’m thinking this is for Classic Structures (STJ) and Funs (SP). The former are the only ones who might adhere to it and the latter are the ones who might benefit most from knowing just how long it really takes them to shower.

These magnetic frames are decent for everybody who still puts things on their fridge. I see these most for Funs, Organics and Smarts. But, I know quite a few Classis with stuff on their fridge. So they’re a safe bet for most of your female friends and family members.  

As for kids, my big personality focused idea is this Lego sorter, $54.94 It self sorts Legos. This is good for those kids who are obsessed with their food being separated and for moms who truly wish their kids would not put the Duplo Legos with the regular Legos but have long since given up asking since you know you should just be happy that they put anything away at all. Classics (SJs) and Funs will especially love this one.

Just no on Play-Doh. I don’t know many mothers who really want their kids to receive Play-Doh. It always get into the carpet and is such a pain … think Silly Puddy, $3.99. Nothing is more amusing than getting an image off of the comic strips and stretching it. Okay, okay, I base this theory on nothing other than I used to do that and would still have fun doing it today if someone were to give my son silly puddy.

Kikkerland also has an entire page devoted to wind-up toys and as odd as I found them when I discovered them — each ones seems to have a two paragraph “history” behind it — there’s something endearing about old fashioned technology versus the more newfangled LED screen technologies. The one I featured here is Queen Beatrix, she jumps through the air when her suction cup loses suction. I know a few Organic moms who might like to give these purely because of the neat stories behind them.
