Personalized Dog Tags For Stocking Stuffers

With Christmas right around the corner it's time to think about gifts, but how much time do you spend thinking about stocking stuffers for your kids? I might not have kids, but I still make up little stockings. Hubby and I make up stockings for each other, and then we make one for his little sister. His sister is 12 this year, so I've got to think a little harder on the types of stuff I include in her stocking.

I found one thing that I thought was a great stocking stuffer idea. I ordered a personalized dog tag from Quick Trophy. As soon as I saw the dog tags they have to offer I thought what a great stocking stuffer idea because there are so many uses for dog tags. My first thought was that she could attach one to her backpack. She's one of those kids who likes to have a ton of key chains hanging all over her backpack. Being an very creative kid I'm sure she could come up with 100 other ways to use it, and of course she can always wear it as jewelry. Because she's the baby of the family, all her siblings nicknamed her "Super Brat", so I thought it was only appropriate to have that printed on the tag.

I also like how many style and color choices were offered. I chose a pink one with racing flags for Kristina because she loves to play racing type video games. She's a girly girl with a tomboy side, so I thought the pink with the racing flags was very appropriate for her. The photo is a shot of the actual dog tag, and I'm sorry it isn't better. My camera just couldn't handle how shiny and reflective the dog tag is! I also did smudge out the last name on the photo because I didn't find it appropriate to post a 12 year olds full name. There is also an included chain so the tag can be used as a necklace.

The price isn't too bad either, so if you think this is a great stocking stuffer idea, head on over to Quick Trophy to pick up a few. I know I'm going to be ordering more. I think I might order a few with my name on them to attached to my motorcycle gear. That way when we go to Deal's Gap no one can walk off with my riding jacket or leathers!
