Frequently asked
What are good stocking stuffers?
The best stocking stuffers are small but genuinely useful or fun: a great book, a cool gadget, a favorite treat, craft supplies, or something tied to the person's current obsession. Our rule of thumb: if it'll end up in the junk drawer by New Year's, skip it.
What are good stocking stuffers for adults and men who have everything?
Grown-ups love consumable luxuries they wouldn't buy themselves: fancy snacks, good coffee, nice socks, a quality pen, or a clever little tool. For the person who has everything, go for experiences (tickets, a class) or a really good version of something they use daily.
Do you wrap stocking stuffers?
Totally up to you. Many families leave small items unwrapped for easy digging, while others wrap a few favorites for extra suspense. Tissue paper or small bags are a good middle ground.
What are good stocking stuffers for toddlers?
Think chunky crayons, bath toys, board books, stickers and small figures that are safely sized for little ones (no choking hazards). Our kids gift guide has plenty more ideas.
