Reindeer Stocking Stuffers (Non-Alcoholic Ideas)

I love the six-packs of reindeer I see everywhere on Pinterest. You know the ones, where a few pipe cleaners and googly eyes later, you have a heap of reindeer out of beer bottles.

Alternatives to the beer-bottle reindeer for stocking stuffers and other "guy" gifts
I'll also confess: I don't know that I love the message.

There's something kind of wrong about your 6 year old giving his uncle a six-pack for Christmas, you know? Even if it's cheap, and funny, the underlying message is, well, just strange.

If you'd like to rip off the reindeer idea in a non-alcoholic way, here are a few options for reindeer "stocking stuffers" from the kids:

  • Hot sauce bottles (like we did for my brother, pictured at right)
  • Root beer or other specialty sodas
  • Barbecue sauce bottles for the bbq lover
  • Real maple syrup
  • Specialty olive or other nut oils for the chef
It's cute, it's inexpensive and it allows your kid to let out his creative side without sending a mixed message of sending alcohol for the holidays.
