Stocking stuffer ideas |
I remember when I was a kid and opening the stocking each year. It was so personal for me. It was a great experience as we designed our own some years, the stockings had items we loved. They were small fun items. Some of the items were fun gag gifts, gifts I can use all year round and delicious holiday candy. One thing that stood out to me is that our mom would gift us these big fruits that were delicious and fresh. She took the time to find the best fruit. It was in a separate bag than the stockings. I enjoy creating stockings for my loved one and helping my mom create them for my nieces and nephews. Sometimes we use different kinds of laundry baskets, big organizers and other creative items to use as a stocking.
Stockings are not just for kids. You can create one for everyone and create a unique experience that they will not forget. Stockings are more personalized than gifts. My stocking stuffer idea guide is to help you get something for everyone. I have curated an extensive list for different price points as well as different categories from price points to your target gift category.
My extensive stocking stuffers help you find items from different price points, ages and relationships.
What is the most popular type of stocking stuffers?
Candy has become a popular stocking stuffer. It’s a great filler. Usually you would choose their favorite items from beauty, games, small toys, accessory and candy is the popular filler. There are so many different kinds of holiday theme candy to fit the tastes of each and every tastes. There are even healthy choices that even the healthy conscious can enjoy something delicious. Popular brands are Godiva, Lindt, Dove are great chocolate gifts.
What do you usually put into Christmas stockings
The choices for stocking are endless! Definitely do not forget candy and snacks. Other choices should be more personal to fit their needs. You can include travel size beauty, accessories, gift cards, games, small toys, and gadgets.
Stocking stuffer ideas for Friendsmas
My favorite technique for stocking stuffers is to buy several big beauty sets such as lipsticks, bath products or other self care products and break them down to split them up between friends. This allows me to spread the gift out more, have more a variety and being able to meet the preference of each friend. Not all of my friends will like that bold or neutral lipstick in that set. It makes it fun and have a variety.
What is Friendsmas?
Friendsmas, just like friendsgiving, has been widely popular and the tradition is growing. It’s celebrating the holidays with your group of friends before you travel back to family or spend it with family. I consider my friends like my family and some friends do join me with my family. Unfortunately, some friends need to travel to spend the holidays with their family not allowing them to be around. This is time before the holidays where you throw a big party to spend with your friends.
A few gift idea for friendsmas:
First I take big gift sets and break them down to what I feel what my friends would choose as they will not like everything in the box.
Then I would get some small travel sets to add a variety from beauty, skincare, fragrances, fragrances, accessories and body care – the possibilities are limitless

Closing thoughts
Thank you for taking the time to read my holiday shopping guide for stocking stuffers.
The holidays seasons seems to come sooner each year. I enjoy creating the holiday content to help you get into the holiday spirit. Shopping for stockings are my favorite part. They are almost as fun as creating them.
Do you open your stockings first or last?
I have always opened my stockings first and it surprised me to learn that some people have opened their stockings after their gifts. It’s fun either way. I wanted to know – do you open your stockings first or last?
