Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Need ideas for filling up those stockings? Usually, stocking stuffers are the last to get checked off the gift list, and by that time, we have so much decision fatigue, it’s hard to think of what to put in them. I’ve put together a list of stocking stuffer ideas for everyone in the family (including the littlest members–both human and fur babies!) Print these out (or save them on your phone) for easy reference so you can get what you need and get out without having to aimlessly browse the isles looking for ideas.

Target is usually my go-to for the majority of my stocking stuffer purchases, but I also like Dollar Tree for fun and inexpensive kids items, drug stores, and of course, there is still a little bit of time to order a few things on Amazon as well.

And, while we are talking about stockings, I just have to share that I finally found stocking hangers (affiliate link) that will hold a fully-packed stocking! I tried them out on our mantle and they work great! I love our decorative stocking holders, but they will fall down as soon as you put anything heavy in the stockings. Now, I can actually have our filled stockings hanging on the mantel instead of sitting down on the hearth where they have had to go in years past. They are currently on sale for 20% off and if you order soon enough, you can have them in time for Christmas!
