Things I like to get in my stocking, in no particular order:
- new tooth brush
- a magazing - preferably something fashion-wise that I would never usually buy
- nail polish
- lip balm
- body wash and/or lotion
- underwear and/or socks
- emery boards
- razor
- hand cream
- kinder surprise
- (and/or) lindt chocolates
- new pens (gel ink)
- a jar of olives (what, it's a tradition from childhood and yes I realize that's odd)
Things I do not like to get in my stocking, in no particular order:
- thong underwear (because that is clearly for someone else's enjoyment)
- bikini wax kit
- facial hair bleach
- anything that could be categorized as an 'ointment' for an 'ailment'
- crossword puzzle book
- ball point pens
Your turn!
On your "like" list, I would have to replace the kinder surprise with a box of lifesavers, the lindt with truffles, and the jar of olives (what?!?) with a mandarin. I'm thinking neither of us are asking for extravagance here... after all, a lot of jewelry could easily fit in that little stocking.
On the "no" list, I would add travel-sized mouthwash, shampoo, and conditioner, when no travel plans come along with these items. (Hmmm... tickets to Hawaii... also easily squeezed into a stocking...)

I'll add to your Yes list: batteries, film (before the digital times, that is!), a desk-sized calendar for the new year, ANY kind of chocolate (Lindt and those icy squares are both favourites at Christmas), concert tickets, gift cards of various sorts...
:)
