First of all, if you don't know where that title comes from...
well I don't think we can be friends anymore :(

Anyways, linking up today with a few of my favorites. 
First up is Andrea and Erika for

Today I am talking about a few of my favorite stocking stuffers that are all $10 or under!



First up is the Starbucks gift card.
Who wouldn't love to have one these fun little cards in their stocking? It has become a tradition that my husband puts one in my Christmas stocking every year :)
And it is not just for women, guys love Starbucks too!




Or how about a super soft and super cute plaid scarf?
This one is from Kohl's and is only $9.99!





And for the little guys in your life, Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars are great! X loves these and they are at most $1 a piece! You could fill a whole stocking with these bad boys!!!

What are some of your favorite things that are $10 or under?

I love tradition!
Until I married Mic, I followed the exact same schedule every Christmas Eve/Christmas Day...and I loved it!
We would get dressed and go to church on Christmas Eve where we ended the service singing Silent Night by candle light. We then went over to a good friend's home to spend some time with their family before heading home to open up one gift before bed :)

Now Mic and I have started our own traditions.
We celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas morning just the 3 of us. We open up a gift that has special pj's just for Christmas Eve, a Christmas movie and some hot chocolate to enjoy before going to bed.
Then we spend Christmas morning together opening our gifts to each other, seeing what Santa brought X, and just spending time together as our own little family :)

I must admit, it was touch giving up the old for the new.
But when I see X's little face light up on Christmas morning, I know it is completely worth it!

What are your best holiday memories?
What traditions do you follow at Christmas time?

    1. I picked up most of his Christmas pj's either at Target or online at Carter's. They were on sale and I had a coupon :)
      I think I found some of the Hot Wheels we picked up for Xavier at Walmart for $.88 cents! Kroger had them for $.77!!! Super easy and X absolutely loves them! I am sure Nolan would too :)

    1. Personalized case? I will have to check that out! I picked up a case that holds 100 cars and it has a handle that pops out so he can wheel it around with him :) I have always been into cars, and now that I have a little boy who likes them I am having a field day with it!
      Thanks for stopping by Jodi :)
