Boston Business Shipping Christmas Stockings Full Of Coal Worldwide

BOSTON (CBS) -- Most people hope they don't end up with a lump of coal from Santa in their stocking. But for those who do, one local man is offering to make that Christmas wish come true.

Kyle Waring has previously made headlines for selling Boston's snow and fall foliage to ship around the country. Now he's setting his sights on holiday gifts.

"We'll ship a mini Christmas stocking full of coal to anyone in the world," the website shipcoalyo.com states.

For $14.99, Waring will send the recipient a 6-to-12 oz. piece of Anthracite coal in a mini stocking. Buyers can also choose to have a personalized note included.

The website says it will also customize a large piece of coal and ship it anywhere in the country for $9.99 plus shipping.

Some of the company's suggestions for a personalized message to go along with the coal include "You're Fired," "I'm Pregnant" and "Chris, You've Been Evicted."

All orders must be made by Dec. 17.
