Is your holiday shopping complete? I am happy to report that ours basically is, except for stocking stuffers (the bane of my existence!). We don’t do lots of sweets here so filling the stockings with candy isn’t the ole fallback. Instead we really have to get creative about things.

Like a typical mom, I toss lots of necessity items in the mix for the holidays. You know, socks, undies, clothing, new shoes for the baby and such… especially in the stockings! Do you?

I’ve been doing some online shopping today for odds and ends to fill the stockings and felt it would be timely to share a special P&G coupon code and promotional offer that was just shared with me. Here are the details for you…

When ordering from the P&G Estore you’ll get:

• 15% off on a first-time order from a new customer, using promo code: A9Z-MN5-KY3-ISA So really fill that cart up and take advantage!
• Free Shipping on orders over $25
• Plus, Free Samples with every order!

Some of the items that I think would make great stocking stuffers from the P&G Estore are…

A Braun Personal Care Product, like a trimmer ($19.99 right now) or shaver (starting at $69.00 right now). What guy doesn’t need to groom?

In our house batteries are a must have for the stocking! In the P&G store you an get a giant 28 count battery pack for just $17.99 right now. Combine that low price with the 15% off coupon code and you’ll affordably fulfill those endless requests for batteries this holiday season!

Plus, you can enter the Duracell Bundle of Batteries Sweepstakes for a chance to win a $100 prize pack of Duracell Batteries to power you through the holiday season!

Another product we use and would recommend for the whole family (maybe a functional/ make hygiene fun gift?) is an Oral-B Electric Toothbrush to really keep those teeth clean after all the holiday indulgence.

It’s better than socks or undies in the stocking right? Seriously though, my 3 year old LOVES getting to have her teeth brushed with Mom & Dad’s special electric toothbrush (we have the Professional Care SmartSeries Toothbrush), you’d think it was disneyland or something!

You can even get yourself some Covergirl Makeup for your own stocking if you are the makeup wearing kind and the P&G Estore has online coupons you can apply to those items you are buying for extra savings. Who doesn’t like to save some money? I sure do!

So, what items are on your stocking stuffers shopping list? Got any ole standbys that you always fall back on? Care to share them with us? I need some good ideas!

I remember as a kid, like in the 90’s, we had one of those old school electric toothbrushes. It was nasty and strange. The darn thing vibrated my head so bad that it made me sneeze, get a runny nose and watery eyes. I’ve never really been a fan of putting a motorized device in my mouth, not at home and not at the dentist.

I hated using that darn manual toothbrush with a passion but my mom hounded us each night and forced us to use it. The torture!

So, you can imagine my joy when my husband got his Oral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000 Toothbrush in the mail several months back. I was super relieved that it only came with the one toothbrush head and I tormented him about using it.  I believe the words “good luck” and “have fun with that” were used. Eventually, after his rave reviews over it I agreed to give it a try and he bought some extra toothbrush heads for us.

A decade apparently leaves much room for technological advancement because this electric toothbrush isn’t nearly as bad as I remember the torture device of my childhood being. The electric toothbrush jackhammer effect is still noticeable when you press hard while brushing but I feel like it’s not nearly as dramatic and terrible as I remember from my childhood.

The Oral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000 Toothbrush, in comparison with a manual brush, DOES seem to remove more junk from my teeth and leaves them feeling dental office polished which makes it feel worth all the “good vibrations”.
