Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Kids and Grown-Ups
Stocking stuffers! I love them! After all, what’s better than miniature-sized gifts designed simply to delight, and an excellent opportunity to shop small businesses, to boot?! I’ve done the legwork for us and rounded up some of my very favorite stocking stuffers for kids, women, and men. Of course, depending on how you distribute your budget, some of these would make excellent under-the-tree gifts, too. You get to choose! Items marked with an * are ones we own. Stocking Stuffers for Kids: My philosophy for kids’ stockings (and, really, stockings in general): I’d rather spend a bit more money to stuff with things I know they’ll need, use, and keep over trinkets that don’t cost much but will be quickly tossed. Add something sweet and/or consumable and a little dash of silly fun, and you’ve got yourself a stocking! — Liberty-print headband* | I put one of these in June’s Easter basket and it is a favorite. The only hard part is picking a pattern! — A resin flower keychain or a colorful tassel version — The sweetest magic wands for imaginative play — New socks. These* are my favorite, since the size is printed right on the sole, making them easier to pass down! — Harry Potter magnetic bookmarks* — Any felted ornament from this most delightful shop — Animal sticky notes*. These are going in June’s stocking this year and I predict she’ll go nuts. — The perfect family game* for on-the-go. Or this one*! — Colorful streamers* for a bike or scooter — Mini Squishmallows! I’ll give one to each child in their stocking, share a few with my sister, and save the rest for Easter baskets and friend birthdays throughout the year. — A new water bottle*, since they always seem to break or go missing
