For many, filling stockings is a tradition as important as the Christmas tree itself. Sometimes the smallest stocking stuffer can make a bigger impact than even the largest gift under the tree.

On the other hand, hunting down those perfect, unique items that turn a boring run-of-the-mill stocking into a grab-bag full of one-of-a-kind gifts and goodies can be difficult and time consuming.

To help save you some time and perhaps introduce you to a few unique local items you've never seen before, we've compiled a list of stocking stuffer ideas you'll only find here in Wichita Falls.

The highly recommended and award-winning Keno's Beef Jerky is the perfect stocking stuffer for the meat lover in your family. Keeno's makes their jerky fresh every day and boasts a balance of flavor and moisture second to none, which seems to be holding true according to the many 5-star reviews from customers. I recently tried about 6 of their 11 different signature jerky flavors the other day and I have to agree, they are all phenomenal - by far the best jerky I've ever had. They also have a selection of exotic jerky such as alligator, elk, venison, buffalo, antelope, kangaroo, camel, pheasant, turkey, wild boar, and rabbit.

Another cool thing they recently started is the Jerky of the Month Club, which has become so popular they are now shipping worldwide. Sign up for 3, 6 or 12 months and you'll get a different bag of jerky in your mailbox each month.

Keeno's is also proving their dedication to our community by donating 10 percent of all proceeds to Christian youth ministries right here in Wichita Falls.

You can purchase Keeno's Beef Jerky at their two locations - 4716 Old Jacksboro Hwy and 824 Indiana St or online here.

Chocolate Nutcracker lollies, truffles, wrapped bars, hot chocolate, and more all handmade in small batches using the finest of chocolate right here in The Falls.

Each one of these shirts is done using the screen printing method, which also means no two shirts are exactly the same, like a stamp. The shirts are made by Black Cat Printmaking Co. owned by Lauren Hamlin. Lauren was born and raised in Wichita Falls and is currently a senior at Midwestern State University majoring in printmaking and graphic design.

You can purchase these Wichita Falls t-shirts at Frank & Joe's Coffee House in Parker Square.


5. Fudge and Other Goodies From the Pecan Shed

Homemade on location, it's no secret the fudge at the Pecan Shed is top notch. This year they have special Christmas flavors like candy cane, cranberry nut, and cinnamon Bun. Of course, they also have quite a few different candied pecan treats to choose from. The Pecan Shed grows all of their pecans in their own orchard located just north of Wichita Falls in Charlie, TX along the Red River in some of the richest pecan soil in the state.

You can visit the Pecan Shed at 1401 Midwestern Parkway in Wichita Falls or online here.


6. Aunt Margie's Gourmet Popcorn

Made from a secret family recipe, Aunt Margie's Gourmet Popcorn is not caramel corn -- it's a buttery, sweet candied popcorn that will most certainly melt in your mouth. Current flavors for Christmas are original (buttercrunch), Cayenne, Cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
