Top 5 Stocking Stuffer Gifts

1) Wipe-On Glasses Protector
Guard your glasses and sunglasses from scratches with a few swipes of this liquid glass. SharkProof creates tons of molecular bonds with the glass, and acts as a protective shield.

2) Natural Rubber Fillable Ball & Rope
This natural rubber dog ball and rope is a non-toxic way for Fido to catch, chase, and play more safely. Pop a treat or some peanut butter inside to keep your pup happily entertained or play tug with the attached rope. There are balls sized to suit Chihuahuas up to Great Danes and there are no plastics or additives in the ball, so it is biodegradable when the fun is done. Made from locally sourced rubber in Mexico.

3) Wipe-On Screen Protector
Shark Proof: Wipe-On Screen Protector - Mobile Phone or Tablet

4) Meat Handler and Shredder
The original meat shredding claws are often imitated, but these are the real deal—durable and Made in the USA. Six super sharp prongs easily shred meat, like pulled pork. They offer great grip to lift large roasts or turkeys, and hold them stable when carving. The minimal, ergonomic design is easy to grip and easy to clean, with almost nowhere for bits of food or juices to hide.

5) Zigi Band Phone Wrist Strap
This phone wrist strap lets you keep a phone close at hand without the worry of losing your grip. The super-slim lanyard-style strap attaches to a phone or case, and the strap swivels to prevent any tangling.
