In relation to Christmas, the stocking dates back to the early days of Santa Claus, when children would hang their stockings (very long socks) over the fireplace for Santa to place some pieces of fruit or candy inside, or even a coin or two. The tradition is the same, but the stockings have become more ornamental (seriously, try putting one on your foot) and their contents have updated with the times. Here are some cool ideas for last minute Best Buy stocking stuffers to round out your holiday shopping list:
- The 2GB iPod Shuffle - Only $49.99! A nice little mp3 player that comes in a variety of colors!
- Touch Screen Gloves – So that you don’t have to take off your gloves to answer your phone or use your tablet outdoors.
- Touch Screen Stylus – Same idea as the gloves, but with an added touch of class.
- Xbox Live Memberships – For the gamer on your list.
- Novelty Flash Drives – They keep getting smaller in size, larger in storage, and cheaper in price. Now you can even buy flash drives in the likeness of the Simpsons, SpongeBob Squarepants, Hello Kitty and more of your favorite characters.
- Skullcandy Earbud Headphones – For the price they really are a great set of headphones.
- Best Buy Gift Cards – Some think that gift cards are in poor taste, but I still remember the thrill of getting a crisp $10 bill in my stocking as a child. The possibilities were endless!
I hope that this little list helps calm that last-minute frenzy. Happy holidays and much love from all of us at Best Buy and Geek Squad!
