Who's got some ideas for great little puzzles, games, or science toys for stocking stuffers? My kids love this kind of stuff.

What about those hexagon puzzles with like, half a colored bug/frog on each side and you have to match them up in the right way (eventually, you have to find pieces where two or more of the halves are matching up...)

I usually work out of my home office out in western fringes of NJ but when I do visit the 'office' near Rockefeller centre in NYC I head to the MOMA shop because they have a ton of well designed tchotchkes below 5 bux - little rings, prisms, finger puppets and other assorted baublry.

I remember never being able to do Rubik's cube when I was a kid! Not sure now how old I was when they came out. Is there a slighter easier version of that type of thing? (Kids are 9 and 5, albeit better at puzzling/spatial stuff than I am) Maybe the snake?
Any little science doohickies like prisms (good idea) are also great, but they have to work and not be lame/chintzy...you know how that can be...

I don't think this will be up the OP's alley, but for my dd I always find stuff on Etsy. One of the things she loved last year was a sticker that said "I'd rather be at Pemberley". This year she is getting a Marauder's Map in her stocking.

Actually my DD is totally obsesses with Harry POtter, so that's good for her.  She's easier for stockings than the little guy, though, because she likes things like lip balm, lotion, etc.

Personalized Hogwart's letters, Hogwarts ID cards, etc. Also HP inspired jewelry. Yes, my dd13 is the easiest and most fun for me to shop for.
