Cheap Stocking Stuffers
When you are thinking about stocking stuffer ideas — keep in mind usefulness. Is it something they use? Is it something they need? Is it something they want? It could be something they use everyday or something they might think of as a treat for themselves.

Sometimes when you are buying things for siblings/kids in a similar age group it’s handy to buy two of the same item (because it makes life easier doesn’t it?!). But kids don’t always want to get the same thing as their brother/sister so be creative (pick different colours, different sizes, different themes of the same item).
In our house, there are some absolute staples which MUST be in a stocking. A magazine (age-appropriate of course) and some chocolate (chocolate is always a favourite here). Then, everything else is mix n’ match depending on age.
You could also create themes to your stockings…
- breakfast items
- stuff for going outside
- home spa
- hot chocolate
- movie night
- game night
- bedtime
- Christmas morning
- boredom busters
- for travel
- work items
- recipe items
- cookbooks
- family history
- bucket list
