Looking for some unique stocking stuffer ideas for the adults in your life that won't break the bank or the planet? I have compiled a list of some of my favorites.

Wool Leggings Rock Fall Weather
The weather here in Central Ohio is making the shift to foggy and cold. Shorts are packed away and the leggings and jeans are at the ready.
