Stockings are my jam, meaning I’m particularly good at coming up with great stocking stuffers. A lot of people are always stumped as to what to put in a stocking and I say anything goes really. Just try to be creative. I tend to go by a few rules if you’re interested. Number one is that of course it’s small enough to fit in a stocking. Number two is that it costs under $10 and even better if it’s under $5. And I know you’re going to say, where do you get anything under $5? There’s plenty of places, you just have to look. Of course, there are some things worth more than $10, like jewelry, but I like to keep the gifts inexpensive but thoughtful.
If you’re not into searching aimlessly, you can just look on Amazon and search for things with cost parameters or you can just buy my whole list. I’m here this holiday season to make things a little easier for you.
If you haven’t seen my last few gift guides, take a look at these:

Here’s the Amazon list that will help you create the best stocking experience your family has ever had or at least that’s what I’m hoping.
Hands and Feet
This is a category that works well for stocking stuffers because the items are usually small. Also, sometimes people don’t spend money on these little things that will make them feel special.
Wooden Foot Massage Roller – $8.99
2pc Spa Microfiber Wristbands – $5.99
Glass Nail File Buffers with Cases 5pcs – $8.99
J.R. Watkins Moisturizing Hand Cream – $6.99
Professional Nail Clipper Kit 4pcs – $4.99
Body & Earth Hand Cream Gift Set of 3 – $7.99
Honey Paraffin Wax Peel Off Hand Mask – $7.19
Extra Large Foot File and Callus Remover – $9.49
Strawberry Softening Heel and Foot Mask – $8.50
For the Skin
Skincare is so important because it’s the largest organ that we have and again, we don’t always buy these things for ourselves. Give the gift of pampering and you won’t regret it. My Mom looks forward to her stocking every year and if she didn’t get her favorite soaps and lotions, she would be highly upset.
Elf Monochromatic Cream Stick – $2.96
Eos Natural Shea Honey Apple Lip Balm – $3.98

Hair and Scalp Exfoliating Massager – $6.99
Tea Tree Oil for Hair with Argan, Jojoba & Grapeseed – $8.79
Accessories
Accessories are usually small enough to fit in a stocking so go crazy with all of these cute and fun things. I have my eye on the Grinch earrings and the fanny pack.

For Men
Sometimes we tend to forget about the men because they seem like they really don’t care, but secretly I think they do. Every man I’ve given a stocking to loves it (the stocking is the gift). I love trying to find fun things that he would not have thought of and love to see their faces while opening the presents.

For Everyone
These can be for anyone, man or woman. There are so many weird and wonderful gifts out there for anyone in your life. From notebooks to water bottles and mugs, etc. Look for staples that have a twist to it like a fun color. Also, look for unique items that you’ve never seen before. There’s so many new and exciting products out there.

So, if you’re still stumped as to what to get, the key is thinking of their personalities, their hobbies, their likes and dislikes and buying accordingly. There’s nothing better than a gift that fits you perfectly. Also, a few of my favorite stores for stocking stuffers are Ross and TJ Maxx in the self care section and Marshall’s for the men in your life.
Let me know in the comments if you do stockings and what kind of gifts are your favorites.
See ya next time.
