Edgy Stocking Stuffers For Under $10 Bucks

When it comes to stocking stuffers - gifts that literally will fit in the sock or stocking traditionally hung on the fireplace mantel, or gifts that aren't the 'hero' portion of the holiday gift-giving, most people end up with plastic toys or edibles. Things to be eaten or thrown away.

But here's a bunch of fun items, most under $10, that will not only get a laugh, but use. Warning, these have a wicked sense of humor and may offend some wimps and pussies.

Hilarious hand sanitizers:

Have a Koons-Like Christmas With These Awesome Balloon Dog Ornaments.

I know it's not even Halloween yet and blogging about Christmas ornaments before we've even reached the end October should be verboten, but if you're on the hunt for some cool ornaments this year and want to get the good ones before they sell out, you'd best take a look at these. Not that you care, but I already bought a bunch of these this morning.

These Jeff Koons-like* puppies will hip up any tree:

Classic Terrier in metallic red:

Dachshund in metallic silver:

Poodle in glossy green:


Inspired by the wonderful Balloon Dog sculptures of Jeff Koons, these are mini modern art for your tree.

Urban Outfitters is now offering a pre-order sale of these fabulous metallic glass Balloon Dog Ornaments. Each is approximately 4" wide and there are three different styles of dogs (terrier, poodle and dachshund) in three different Christmas-y colors. Note: you don't get to choose which ornament specifically, they do (kind of like blind-boxed), but any of them would be a wonderful addition to a contemporary Christmas.
