Petoskey Themed Stocking Stuffers for Dad
Thanksgiving has come and gone and the 2016 Black Friday frenzy is officially over. Now the real Christmas countdown begins and Christmas shopping continues. This past weekend was the Downtown Petoskey Holiday parade on Saturday morning. My husband and I took the kids to the parade, enjoyed lunch at the Noggin room, visited with Santa at Stafford’s Perry Hotel and then shopped Downtown Petoskey for Small Business Saturday. Our favorite stop is always Grandpa Shorter’s and the kids just love checking out their unique gifts.
I’ve begun the majority of of my Christmas shopping but it always seems to be the smaller gifts, such as stocking stuffers, that I get behind on. Today on the blog I’m sharing with you 5 Petoskey Themed Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Dad’s. Hopefully these gifts will get your wheels turning and give you some ideas for dad this year and even better, they are all Petoskey themed!

Petoskey Stones
"Petoskey Stones" are the official stone of Michigan. It's a fossil coral of the genus hexagonaria. This coral lived approximately 350 million years ago in the sea which used to cover Michigan. It is a compound coral in that many animals lived together in a colony. In each small hexagon chamber is the prehistoric remains of a saltwater marine life. It is called "Petoskey Stone" because it is found mostly around Petoskey in the area of Little Traverse Bay.
