    2. A gemstone sensor night-light with a long-lasting LED bulb that will make your hallway, bedroom, or bathroom look like an enchanted crystal cavern. You might even feel a bit more magical every time you pass by this gem.

    13. A bottle of Mike's Hot honey that surprisingly goes well with anything imaginable. You can put it on pizza, wings, veggies, dumplings, salad, cocktails, and your mom's famous pot roast.

    36. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza — a card game delivering a heavy dose of high-energy! Similar to Slap Jack, this game requires the players to literally behave like animals. The player without any cards left is the winner.

    A bunch of the different cards face up, each one is a different pastel color with an illustrated character on it and their name (i.e.
    Amazon

    Here's how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini-deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!

    Promising review: "Ridiculous in a good way! I was skeptical about how much I may enjoy this game being in my mid-thirties. But it's a lot of fun! Easy to learn, easy to play, my 8-year-old has lots of fun with it. Its a great family game with the potential to be a late-night more adult-oriented event if you’re picking up what I'm throwing down. Cheers!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.84.

    37. A jewelry-cleaning pen, meaning your ring can shine brighter than the lights on the tree. This cleaning gem is easy to use, effective, and waaayyy cheaper than a trip to the jeweler.

    38. A Rosebud Motel keyring, because you want your guests to feel like they've checked-in to an award-winning motel. At least this way, you can jokingly establish a checkout time.

    two keychains that say "Rosebud motel"

    39. A handheld night-light that just so happens to a hyper-realistic moon, inspired by images from NASA. You might have to set your expectations a little lower this year. I highly doubt anyone can get you a better gift than the thing that affects the tides, IJS.

    40. A pack of rainbow playing cards so you can bring the fun to any get together. Don't even bother putting these in your stocking. Pass the time with an intense game of Slap Jack, B.S., or even Go Fish.

    41. And finally, a screaming goat that shrieks when you push the button on its back. It also comes with a small booklet with fun facts and trivia. Every stocking should have at least one random thing, so here ya go!
