Given the many people I know who opted not to exchange gifts during this painful economic downturn, I wanted to post a few hip stocking stuffers that won’t cost you much more than 10 bucks. Because what’s Christmas or Chanukah without any gifts? Not nearly as much fun, that’s what.

Sadly, the above company no longer exists.
So, if you need to get some little gifts on the cheap and you don’t want to do a lip balm or a Starbucks gift card, then go for the above little finds. They will hardly cost you any coin, but will make most recipients smile.
