Stocking Stuffers to Brighten the Holidays



The Day of Giving has so many unique traditions like decorating the tree, hanging magic faerie lights, and of course visiting Reina's yearly Advent Calendar. Though, nothing brings Day of Giving joy to your Neohome quite like hanging stockings over the fireplace. An old Month of Celebrating legend says that a mischievous, but generous Faerie used to flit from house to house, leaving Neopoints and tiny trinkets in shoes left by the fire to dry after a day of playing in the snow. Over time, those snowy shoes became dedicated stockings, and filling them is now the duty of loving owners everywhere. While the presents under the tree can be any size or shape, finding stocking-sized gifts your Pets will love can be quite the task. Here are a few small, thoughtful gift ideas to get those stockings Day of Giving ready. Kazoo This festive item speaks for itself; nothing screams holidays and celebration quite like the unmistakable buzz of a kazoo. It's an absolute hit with younger Pets, who will happily spend the entire day producing spirited, buzzing renditions of familiar holiday melodies, so any of the above suggestions will do.
