I received the pair of toothbrushes shown below, to facilitate my review.  As always, all opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

Toothbrushes made fantastic stocking stuffers.  Everyone uses them.  (Well, pretty much everyone.)  Everyone eventually uses them up.  They’re small.  And they’re fairly inexpensive.

Some of you are probably nodding your heads and thinking, “Yep; we’ve been putting toothbrushes in stockings for years.” Some of you are thinking it’s a really good idea, but you’d never thought of it before.  And some of you are thinking, “Toothbrushes?!  Are you kidding me?  Who wants a toothbrush in his stocking?”

Well, have you seen these Smiles for the People toothbrushes?  They’re beautiful.  I know that sounds weird, but they are.  No gaudy plastic (that’s of questionable safety in our mouths!)  No commercial cartoon characters.  Just beautiful sustainable bamboo.

Now, if you need to tell them apart (or just think that’s boring), you can get these brushes with colored bristles.  They come in green, blue, and violet in addition to the simple white.

The handle is ergonomically carved, but it’s not weirdly fat.  That means it actually fits in a lot of toothbrush holders that many modern brushes don’t.

Better still, there are quantity discounts if you’re buying more than three.  So stock up for stocking stuffers or buy your family’s whole year’s worth of toothbrushes at one time and you’ll get a better deal.

Do you have a favorite out-of-the-ordinary stocking stuffer?

*Well, they don’t literally donate a toothbrush.  They donate the equivalent of a toothbrush in whatever dental care their giving partners currently require.  Click the link for more details.
