Christmas is coming. Those stockings won’t fill themselves; Santa fills them, of course, with the help of his elves. But you’ll have to give him a tip of what to toss in there; they’ll truly believe Saint Nicholas was there. So grab your wallets, no need for the mall; dash away, dash away, dash away all! These refined and affordable treats await to be hung by the chimney with care.
We’ve even made it easy for you to make your shopping list by breaking it down by family member.

Don’t worry, we didn’t forget your furchildren. Check out these festive holiday cat houses and this complete gift-guide for dogs (and their owners).
Toddlers
Kids love to draw and color, no matter what their age, seemingly. Introduce toddlers to something other than electronics with an activity coloring book that features various festive letters of the alphabet and other characters. While supervising, let them enjoy coloring with non-toxic, safe materials or even go crazy with some non-toxic glue and toddler-safe decorating supplies.
While you probably wouldn’t want to turn toddlers loose with containers full of paint, it can be a fun bonding moment between parents and young ones to partake in face painting. Use this all-natural formula to create masterpieces on your little one’s adorable face, such as a snowman or maybe even a Christmas tree. Save the leftovers for next Halloween!
Do you have a picky eater on your hands? Maybe Santa can help by dropping this gardening plate set in their stocking! The circular purple plate is adorned with greenery while featuring various sloped surfaces. Instead of forks and spoons, kids can eat with “gardening rakes and shovels.” Turn daunting meals into magical playtime, and maybe you’ll inspire them to scoop up mouthfuls of healthy greens.
When those teeth grow in, it’s time to start brushing them! This turtle toothbrushing timer will be a wonderful tool when introducing toddlers to the first toothbrush and child-friendly toothpaste. Guiding them through the appropriate amount of time for brushing it’s a practical yet toy-like gift. Maybe Santa will throw in the toothbrush and toothpaste too! We hear they have Paw Patrol sets now!
Kids
Baking soda, avocado oil, essential oils, and a list of other natural ingredients come together to create these colorful baths fizz balls for kids! But the fun doesn’t stop with a bubbly explosion of color—eventually, a toy and an educational fun fact will emerge. The kids might be begging to take a bath right after digging into their stockings!
Do you have a little explorer on your hands? Then maybe a set of binoculars, specifically designed for kids, featuring educational insights, would be a phenomenal gift for them. Extra large lenses and a spacious nose fit make for a more comfortable experience for kids. Two times the magnification creates an exciting element when outside looking for birds, bugs, or other animals. Other features include a break-away neck strap and easy-to-spot coloring.
Generations and generations of memories lie within the game of Monopoly. Sure, you can consume an entire evening playing one round, but it’s an evening of laughter, snacks, and family bonding. We love the idea of Santa putting a travel-size game in the kids stocking. Not only is it super cute, but it will also be fun for them to take on an airplane or a long road trip to grandma’s house for New Year’s Eve. Take a trip down memory lane with your kiddos, or just enjoy watching them experience one of your childhood favorites.
Honestly, these adorable mug buddy gingerbread houses would make a phenomenal stocking stuffer for anyone, whether they be coffee drinkers or little hot chocolate guzzlers. The entire stocking could be themed around hot chocolate, with packets of instant mix, unique marshmallows, and of course, these cookies that sit perfectly on the side of a cup. You can actually find Lucky Charms puffed marshmallows at Walmart, which would be a festive addition.
Mystery fantasy dough is as magical as it sounds! Plant-based dyes, compostable glitter, and other mesmerizing materials come together to create various themed cups of dough. Kids can dig to the center of the earth, find buried treasure, or go on other handheld adventures. This stuff really is gorgeously colored and is something unique they may not have expected. This is way cooler than your average slime or silly putty.
Can you really have too much hot chocolate in the winter? We don’t think so! Thus we present the dino dig hot chocolate mix! Future archaeologists can dig through edible sweet cocoa to unearth white chocolate dinosaur fossils! After excavating, all the contents can be dumped into their favorite mug, mixed with milk, to create a rich and creamy hot cup of cocoa on a snowy afternoon. Now that’s a lot of adventure in one little box.
Teens
They may be teenagers, but they probably have not grown out of candy! Give them the gift of Bob Ross magic with this tongue painting kit with vibrant neon colors. The candy paintbrush and tasty sweet powders will probably crack them up and make the taste buds tingle at the same time.
If you’ve never heard of a hot chocolate bomb, you are truly in for a treat! Maybe the whole concept started in Santa’s workshop, or maybe that was TickTock. Regardless, these tasty magical spheres are adorned with a variety of sprinkles and should be dropped into a mug, then have hot milk poured over the top. Once the velvety chocolate melts, tiny little marshmallows rapidly emerge to the surface! We think these should be a standard Yuletide tradition.
Does your teen love to travel? Have they already checked a bunch of places off their bucket list? Or maybe they are gearing up to trot the globe in their future. The golden map has a black backdrop; every time a place is visited, teens can come home and gently scratch off the destination with an eraser. This reveals a pop of color that will just inspire them to keep going.
This mermaid-inspired brush features purple and turquoise colors and a unique, easy-to-hold shape. The bristles are designed for all types of hair and can gently detangle hair when strands are wet or dry. But the brush is a relatively small, practical addition if Santa needs some filler items for a stocking.
A beanie with built-in headphones might soon become essential for anyone who likes to listen to music while walking to work or school on a cold winter day. The built-in listening devices transmit smooth and crisp sounds from your phone, and it’s a more comfortable option than trying to figure out how to wear a hat and headphones at the same time.
The thumbs-up phone holder can hold your smartphone in various ways while you listen to music or watch TickTock videos. There is likely a color for every teenager’s taste, as you can choose from a wide selection of colors, such as orange, purple, blue, or neon green. Keep in mind, this wouldn’t work too well with a smartphone that has a bulky case.
Muk Luks makes the most super comfy socks for wearing around the house on a snowy Christmas Day. Treat your baby’s feet with the softest softness, which also happens to be made of 67% recycled plastic. There are various festive patterns, such as a sweater-style heart print or buffalo plaid. Socks are always a great addition to any stocking.
Flaviar specializes in finding, educating others on, and distributing impeccable spirit selections. Slip a distillery tour into their stocking, and literally leave them speechless! Whether they are already a tried and true enthusiast or whether they want to learn more about incredible variations, this is one of those show-stopping stocking stuffers that keeps on giving. Cheers!
Not all jellybeans are created equal. Jelly Belly is proof of that! Their flavors often perfectly mimic the real thing, whether it be juicy pear or a minty candy cane. While you can choose different flavor sets, the ten-flavor Christmas gift box is a diverse assortment of the candy company’s best festive flavors. Grown-ups want candy too!
We love Grounds and Hounds because they give back to animal rescues! But we also love them because they feature bold, flavorful coffee blends, like this organic snow day winter roast. Designed for you to enjoy on your couch with your fur babies, spouses will adore this stocking stuffer. Expect notes of dark chocolate, graham crackers, and ginger. We feel cozy just thinking about it.
Sure, you could get them a cozy hat, or you could get them one that features their favorite NFL team! For example, this bold Atlanta Falcons option is made of black and bright red fabric and has the cutest pom-pom at the top. Of course, the best part is the logo of the team you’ve stayed loyal to for life.
Stockings have to have a good novelty gift inside! However, these super cute flannel beer insulators are more than just a novelty because two layers of waterproof protection will really keep those brews extra cold!
If your loved one has expressed an interest in getting into shape, or maybe they are already in shape and just love a good challenge, these fitness dice are great way to shake up a morning workout routine. Perhaps it’s something you could do together! Disclaimer – – we don’t recommend randomly tossing these into your spouse’s stocking, only to have them think it’s a hint from you to drop a few. Yikes.
No matter how comfortable you feel with each other, we don’t think any spouse can really say they enjoy the smell of the others, eh, excrement seeping out of the master bathroom. Therefore, heart-shaped glitter toilet bombs were made! And they do exactly what you probably think they do. They eliminate the smell of poop, in the most magical way, of course! The non-toxic septic safe hearts should be dropped in before you do your thing and will disperse essential oils to mask any unpleasantness. Merry Christmas!
Traeger hot sauce is made with minimal yet expertly crafted ingredients to be the perfect complement to any meats or goodies you might smoke on your Traeger grill. However, the versatile hot sauce is delicious on eggs or even dashed into a Bloody mary! Hot sauce bottles, along with tiny booze bottles, happen to fit perfectly into stockings.
