The 7 Worst Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Published on Monday, December 6, 2010, by Roxanne Webber / Edit Post

The following items are not recommended for spreading holiday joy this season:

1. Fetus-shaped cookie cutter, $10. Some things just shouldn't be reproduced in buttery sugar cookie form.

2. Discontinued antisnoring device from the '90s for food-coma snorers, $4.95. You don't need to actually look like a pig over the holidays.

3. Jingle Babe beer koozie, $7.95. Freakish-looking and not funny.

4. Beano, $3.08. Equally as insulting as giving digestive aids is giving quasilegal diet pills you buy from email spam.

5. '87 used Hot Topper off eBay, prices vary. But we do have a soft spot for the commerical's slow jam.

6. Leftover Halloween candy, $0. People will notice, especially when trying to chew through stale, hard Tootsie Rolls.

7. "Extra Strength" 5-Hour Energy drink, $5.99. Black-market Four Loko is a lot more thoughtful, no?

  • I would love a foetus cookie cutter! I would get as excited about that as I did with the ninja cookie cutters I was given :D

  • ROTFLMHO! Hey I'd love a hot topper butter warmer sprayer thing. Please post the warm jam commerical please. Geez I missed all these neat prodcts. Maybe they will make a come back.

  • An absurd list, of course and ...you omitted a stick of butter. A surefire crowd-pleaser

  • I would love the cookie cutter. The rest, not so much.

  • I tried Beano once. It gave me a wicked stomach ache. I think some sugars are just meant to remain undigested and simply make music instead.

  • Beano is not a diet pill! Unless you are cutting back on farts.

  • I buy so much of the Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy that...man...I *wish* I would get some as stocking stuffers!
