10 Unusual Christmas Stocking Stuffers

When the time comes to stuff those Christmas stockings this year, shy away from the usual fluff and go unique with these fun and practical ideas. You'll be glad you did.

Photo M&Ms. Perfect for the chocolate aficionado on your list, the famous 'melt in your mouth, not in your hand' candies are now available with full personalization. Why stick with the same old bag of nondescript chocolates when you can go personal? You can choose one of 22 different colors, enter up to three text messages - and hold onto your hat! - upload a photo or two to appear on some of the candies. It's cool, they're fun to make using the online function, and they're a narcissistic chocoholic's dream! The downside is the cost: Although a single seven ounce bag runs $13.99, there's a two-bag minimum purchase required, so you're looking at a cost of at least $27.98. Still, it's a cute idea if you're looking for an unusual stocking stuffer. Find out more or place an order by visiting the online M&M shop.

A Photo Charm. Moms and grandmas alike love silver or gold charms engraved with their little ones' names and birth dates. So it stands to reason that any mom or grandma would love a charm featuring those sweet little faces even more. Shutterfly offers sterling silver necklaces and bracelets featuring a photo of your choice. Simply upload a picture to your account, center it to your liking, click to order, and await the arrival of your perfect gift. Each 5/8 inch photo charm runs $49.99 and includes either a sterling silver bracelet or necklace. It's a Christmas stocking stuffer to remember.
