It's always tricky trying to find good gifts for our loved ones for the holidays. The big gifts we wrap and put under the tree are tricky, but so are the smaller ones to stuff the stockings.

To help you with a few stocking-stuffer ideas this Christmas, I put together a list of things you could throw in the sock that any and every North Dakotan will love.

Medora Musical Tickets

Every North Dakotan loves going to the Medora Musical. Give a loved one a true North Dakota experience.

Pull Tabs

One thing I had never even heard of until I moved out here to North Dakota was pull tabs. North Dakotans love them, and I have to admit, they're pretty fun. Drop some in the grown-ups' stockings this year.

Tilt Studio Card

Okay, the Tilt Studio is still relatively new to the Kirkwood Mall, but let me tell you, as a grown adult, I had an absolute blast in there. There are mini golf, go-karts, and tons of games. This is an excellent gift for anyone.

P.S. I won a giant Squishmallow on the first try of the claw machine. I lost my s**t... but in the best way possible.

Bison Jerky

North Dakota is the Bison State, so why not throw some jerky in the stocking?

Dots Pretzels

Dots Pretzels originated in North Dakota, so they obviously need to be in our stockings this year and every year. It helps that they are delicious.

Bobcats Tickets

Give your family members the gift of a fun night out at a Bismarck Bobcats game. See the action, play the crowd games, and enjoy a night out as a family.

Huff Hills Lift Tickets

It won't be long before we start throwing on our skis and snowsuits and start shredding the slopes. Grab some passes for your family.

Car Wash Passes

Giving your family members the gift of a non snow-sludged car is something truly special. Pick up some passes and drop them in the stocking.

Movie Passes for Grand 22

What can we do in Bismarck-Mandan when it gets cold and nasty outside? Well, we can hit up our favorite Egyptian-themed movie theater right here in town.

Hand Warmers

We just got our first snow, but I'm sure it won't be long before we drop down into those below zero temps. Hand warmers are lifesavers.

Ice Scraper

It's never bad to have extra ice scrapers lying around in the car or in our closets.

Cough Drops & Vitamin C

If you're filling a stocking for an adult, this is a must. In North Dakota we know all too well what winter brings.... Seasonal sickness. Any adult would love to have more of these at their fingertips.

Claw Clips

If there's one thing I know about young girls, it's that they can never have too many claw clips or scrunchies.

Pokémon Cards

Look, I'll be honest, I've never been big on trading cards, but I've seen these become popular again with younger kids again. Pick some up near the cash registers in Wal Mart, and your kids will love finding them in their stocking.

Those a just a few ideas to get the juices flowing for you. Feel free to reach out with your stocking stuffer ideas. Send us a message in the app.
