I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!
A stocking full of small, thoughtful gifts is one of the best parts of Christmas morning. I love filling stockings almost as much as I love opening the presents in my own stocking.
Here are some ideas to get the shopping juices flowing:
Do you like games? Bananagrams is like Scrabble—but different. The letters come in a small banana-shaped bag. No board, everyone plays on the space in front of them. There are rules, which can be selectively enforced depending on who you are playing with. Shop at Target or Amazon. This and Exploding Kittens are our go-to holiday games and both are great in a stocking.
I for sure recommend an LED Dimmer Light for everyone. This “light switch” comes in handy for all kinds of places—in a dark cabinet, by a bed, or in a closet. They are also really handy during a power outage.
Blackwing Pencils, a Two-Step Sharpener, or a fancy One-Step Sharpener, would be a happy surprise in any stocking. If you’ve got several stockings to fill, one box of pencils could be split.
Who doesn’t love a notebook?! You can combine a pretty set of small notebooks from Danica to go with some pencils!
Zipper Pulls go on little zip bags and pouches you make, but also, just any zipper, on a purse, a backpack, or a Yazzii Bag. I have several sets of zipper pulls, designed by the women from the Ruby Star Society: Kimberly, Melody, Rashida and Sarah.
I have a Toys and a Stocking Stuffers page up on the site. Have fun shopping!
The Random Number Generator chose Glenna to receive a hard-copy of My Whimsical Quilt Garden! This book is only available for order as a downloadable file, so that makes this week’s giveaway a rare opportunity, indeed!
For those of you who didn’t win this week, but would still like to have this book in its PDF format, click here to go directly to the ebook onsite.

This Christmas our family is going for quality over quantity. And spending time over spending lots of money. Thoughtfulness. We chose these children’s gifts because they are simple, beautiful, and don’t break the bank.
We’ve waited months for some of these, and with the supply and trucking shortages, it was not a surprise. We kept calm and waited, and now here is a Tour of Toys currently at Piece O’ Cake.
Let’s start with Sew Spectacular – Adorable Animals!
Stitch, embellish, and display 12 adorable paper animals. Everything you need to sew them comes in these kits. It’s a wonderful new take on sewing cards, makes you happy just thinking about it! Perfect for 8y and up.
Magnets are life!
Below are magnet scenes and figures, sort of like paper dolls, but BETTER! Easy to travel with, just tucked into a backpack or purse, to pull out at the right moment. Pirates or Dinosaurs or Eric Carl’s Very Hungry Caterpillar!
Magnetic Puzzles for the win! So smart for in the car, or on the living room floor. Working those fine motor skills, and problem solving. Butterflies & Birds and On The Move, below.
Also for littles, these “spotting” games are fast paced learning fun (and fun for the olders playing with them)! Below on the left, ABC Spot Me Game has 60 icon tiles and 26 abc cards; spot and grab the icon that matches the letter drawn. Simple, right? It’s pretty, sturdy, and easy to cleanup and travel with.
Below on the right, in Spottington by eeBoo take turns flipping over clue cards, and race to find the most the quickest to become the Mayor!
I spy… a pogo spring! a propulsion spiral! a happy coupler! Below, is a puzzle with extra entertainment: Upcycled Robots Puzzle!
Only a few left of Fancy Pachisi and the Solar System Puzzle.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour, have fun shopping at Piece O’ Cake!
