What shall we put into these gorgeous stockings?

Pen Toppers

✋ Hello, my name is Melissa and I am obsessed with pens. I by pens from Target, Walmart, Dollar tree, online, anywhere pens strike my fancy! I have more pens than I think I could ever use in my life. The only thing that makes enjoying my favorite gel pens or ballpoint pens better is when they have a cute pen topper peeking at me as I write!

Snap Tabs

A keychain makes a great gift for anyone! From cartoon to cutesy to masculine to gift card holders, a snap keychain is perfect for any occasion. Attach it to something really special like the key to a new car. Now that’s a stocking stuffer they’ll never forget! Many can also be personalized with a name, initial, or monogram, too! DLB snap tabs work great with this hardware purchased on Amazon.

Lip Balm Holder
