The Necessities
Silicone Loofa
Here’s one that everyone in the family can use! Ditch your old loofa that collects mold and bacteria and swap in this silicone loofa! It’s soft, durable and easy to clean. It’s even soft enough to use on baby’s skin! Go ahead and grab one for everyone in the family to tuck into their stockings this year.
Poo-Pourri
Let’s be honest, this is one that the whole family can benefit from. Need I say more?
Natural Beeswax Chapstick
Everyone needs chapstick especially with the dry winter air! Grab this pack of six and drop one into everyone’s stocking this year. Then maybe everyone will stop using yours!

Magnetic Wristband
This is a good one for Dad or Daddy’s Little Helper! I actually got it for my husband last year and it comes in handy more often than I realized it would. Now my daughter loves to help with it and I’m sure my son will when he’s a little bigger.

This would be such a fun idea for families with elementary aged kids. It comes with 7 individually wrapped practical jokes from a fart horn to fake poop and black soap! It would make for lots of fun and laughs!
