11 Great Ideas for Fun Stocking Stuffers
The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking of what you’re going to put in those stockings. Every year, I have trouble coming up with new ideas for stocking stuffers that will be fun for everyone on my list. For example, my young twins are especially hard to buy for and I’m constantly looking for the best gifts for 8 year old boys. To make things easier in your hunt, check out these 11 unique items below – you’ll find something for everyone!
1. A Coffee Mug with a Quote on It
One of the things you can put into a stocking is a coffee mug with a quote on it. This is a great option because it can be customized with the person’s interests. For example, you could get your sister a mug that says “Bless This Mess” or pick up something from this shop for someone who travels often and gets homesick. Coffee mugs are great for anyone, and you’ll be sure to find the perfect one that will suit your loved ones’ personalities!
2. A Set of Bike Wheel Lights
LED bike wheel lights help keep your loved ones safe while they’re out biking at night or in low-light situations. These lights attach directly to the spokes of their bike wheels so that when they ride by cars can see them better. They’re also pretty affordable – less than $20 each!
3. A Mini-Fridge for Their Dorm Room
Another great thing to put in a stocking is something for their dorm room! This mini-fridge will keep all of their drinks cold while they study or hang out with friends. It’s also small enough that it won’t eat up too much space, but big enough so that there’s plenty of room inside.
4. Chapstick and Lip Balm
Chapstick/lip balm is another item that I love putting into stockings because everyone uses them, especially when lips get chapped easily during the winter months. You can find chapsticks/lip balms in almost any scent you can think of these days, which makes finding one your loved ones would like super easy!
5. Cute Socks with Some Design or Color Pattern On Them
Socks are another one of those classic stocking stuffers. They’re small, affordable, and perfect for getting your loved ones through the winter months! I’ve found some great socks on Etsy with cute designs or color patterns. You can find socks with just about any design on them these days, from cute holiday designs to colorful stripes.
6. Hand Sanitizer in a Fun Scent Like Apple, Strawberry, or Vanilla
I love putting hand sanitizer into stockings because it’s something that everyone uses all year long, but no one typically thinks about buying it as a gift during the holidays. I’m going to be picking up some fun scents this year, too, like apple scent and vanilla, so they’ll smell super yummy while also being able to disinfect hands whenever needed!
7. A Set of Personalized Coasters
For the wine lovers in your life, you can also put a set of personalized coasters into their stocking this year! There are many places you can find personalized coasters like Etsy, but my favorite is this shop. You’ll be able to pick up a set with any pattern or design so they’re perfect for adding some extra personality to your loved ones’ living room! They’re great for protecting tables from watermarks, and they come with an adhesive on the back so that you don’t have to worry about them sliding around.
8. A Fun Scented Candle
Candles are another great stocking stuffer idea because they come in lots of different scents, and they’re a perfect size. This year, I’m going to be picking up a fun candle from this shop for someone on my list because it has a cute design that will look great when it’s lit!
9. Some Tasty Snacks for Movie Night
Last but not least, you can put some snacks into your loved one’s stockings this year. You can find tons of different types of snacks at the store that will fit into any stocking – from popcorn to candy and everything in between! I’m thinking about putting in a bag of popcorn and some candy because everyone loves movie night!
10. An Inflatable Pillow to make Long Car Rides More Comfortable
Another great thing you can put into a stocking is an inflatable pillow! This one will keep your loved ones comfortable during long car rides or flights. You can also find them with memory foam inside, which provides even more comfort for those who are super picky about their pillows!
11. A Small, Personal Notebook and Pen
Last but not least is a small notebook and pen. Everyone uses notebooks for various things, so this one is great to put in stockings because it’s something that you can use all year long! I love the idea of putting your loved ones’ favorite pens into their stocking as well – especially if they’re super picky about what type of pen they like!
