150 Stocking Stuffer Ideas

150 Stocking Stuffer Ideas

If you are looking for the best stocking stuffer ideas, this list of 150 ideas will help you get all your shopping done with ease.

I love putting together Christmas stockings, but sometimes I find myself in a rut, buying the same things year after year. So I took time to write this list of 150 stocking stuffer ideas. It inspired me – I hope it inspires you. ๐Ÿ™‚ I have provided links for many of the stocking stuffer ideas, but you can find many them at Target or even the Dollar Store (as an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.). Stockings don't have to be expensive to be thoughtful and meaningful.

    Great ideas! I was telling my husband that I’m done Christmas shopping except for stocking stuffers this year — usually I have a ton, but I just haven’t gotten any yet. Now I have some ideas:)

    This year for my kids’ stockings, I bought little Hex Bugs, character underwear (Phineas & Ferb), and tiny electronic games (yahtzee, frogger, etc). One year I bought a dozen green bendy aliens on Amazon. I always buy Pez dispensers and m&m candy canes.

    Sharing a home together, my sister and I decided several years ago to stop buying presents for each other except for stocking stuffers. I’ve gotten a watch, earrings, a necklace, fuzzy socks and Victoria Secret undies before. I have put in my sister’s a t-shirt or a couple pairs of pajama pants rolled up and still had room for more goodies and we don’t have large stockings by any standards.

    I used to give my kids stationary, a book of stamps, and some nifty return address labels each year in their stockings–a little prompt to be sure to write thank you notes ๐Ÿ™‚

    I put zip ties,rubber bands, safety pins. Bobby pins, cosmetic samples from places like sephora or ultra, picture hanging kits, masking tape, scotch tape, love the stockings. And I wrap each piece individually. A lot of work but a lot of fun too

    When my kids were out of high school I thought that I could stop with the stocking stuffers. They were really upset that I didn’t do them that year. I now do them every year. They’re both engaged to be married this next summer and I am planning on including them from now on. We LOVE stocking stuffers in this house

    I try to pick up stocking stuffers throughout the Fall. We have five kids so it helps to spread the shopping out. Four of ours are teenagers and I really appreciate your section on teens. Great ideas!

    I always add a small package of Kleenexes – the little ones that come in a multi-pack which you can get from Dollar Tree.

    One cup of raw quinoa makes about about 4 cups of cooked quinoa.
