With the holidays rapidly approaching, I have taken it upon myself to (hopefully) provide some good stocking stuffers for your friends and family.
1.Candy
In stores virtually everywhere nowadays, there is candy that is packaged with the intent of being put into a stocking, or gifted for the holiday season. You can find small forms of your favorite chocolates individually wrapped and placed into a tube of plastic in the shape of a candy cane at any store.
2. Socks
While many may not appreciate receiving practical items over things that they deem enjoyable, socks can be very easily placed into the bottom of a stocking, once rolled. This can help take away from the awkward shape of a stocking and allow for the other, more “fun” gifts to be stuffed inside.
3. Chargers
Much like socks, chargers are very easy to place in stockings, with their pliable demeanor. Random chords somehow manage to linger in the average home, or junk drawer, without a purpose. Yet, the thing that everyone somehow manages to need is one of those chords. This gift is easy and practical.
4. Travel Sized Bath and Beauty Products
Those who enjoy the aesthetics of makeup can be easily pleased with a single or few tubes of their favorite lip gloss, or something of that nature. Some similar ideas include (but are not limited to): chap stick, lotion, lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail polish, etc.
5. Gift Cards
This gift is easily used for anyone with any form of interest, and formed around the person that is being shopped for. Whether for a restaurant, store, or streaming service, you can never go wrong with a gift card, and can easily assure that the person on the receiving end will be filled with joy!
6. Key Chains
Like gift cards, key chains are a stocking stuffer that can be easily adapted to the person that is being given the stocking. Any of their interests can be taken into a small form and placed on a key ring for their enjoyment, or personalized to a photo that they like.
7. Bracelets
Whether homemade or store bought, a bracelet is always a cute addition to a stocking. These can also be personalized to the interests of the person in mind, or can be made by hand for that extra special feeling. Additionally, bracelets are usually easily manipulated, and can just be placed into a stocking without a struggle.
8. Hair Accessories
Depending on the person, hair clips, hair ties, or hair bows can be placed into their stocking fairly easily. The idea doesn’t just have to stop there, though, and easily fold-able hats like beanies can act as a stocking stuffer, as well.
9. Art Supplies
Anything can be used for the creation of art, and a lot of classic art supplies can be found in smaller versions. Pens and pencils in their normal size are already small enough to fit in a stocking, but mini versions of things like sketchbooks and watercolor sets are fairly easy to find. Following the theme of pens and pencils are oil pastels, crayons, colored pencils, tubes of acrylic paint, and even paint brushes.
10. Candles
Candles commonly come in small glass containers, which can easily be put in the bottom (or even top) of a stocking. The scent of the candle can be catered to the person receiving the stocking, and everyone can use one for any room!
