Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas
If you need the best stocking ideas, look no further! Not only are some of these unique stocking stuffers that you may not have thought of before, but they are also super functional.
We honestly love practicality in gifts since it ensures they get used and not just tossed away. So, these are the best stocking stuffers – in our opinion!
Milk Frother: A milk frother is a small kitchen item that can make hot drinks so much better. If a family member enjoys drinking coffee (and not just black) and/or milked-based tea or hot chocolate, then a milk frother might be the perfect stocking stuffer. Especially this year, with people spending more time at home and having less coffee out, having the option of making fancier drinks at home can be really fun.
Reusable Straw: The environment is something that should matter to all of us – and there are many steps that we can take to produce a little less waste. One small – and very easy – change is the use of reusable straws instead of plastic straws. We really like that these stainless steel straws come with a cleaning brush as well!
Portable Charger: In this day and age when we rely on electronics – and especially our phones – so much, a portable charger might be a stocking stuffer that will be much appreciated. It makes it easy to charge a phone when on the go and can provide quite a bit peace of mind if the phone’s battery is not the most reliable anymore (speaking from personal experience).
Cord Organizer Straps: We all deal with cords in our lives – so one great idea for stocking stuffers might be a way to organize all those cords! These simple cord tie straps are easy to put on, easy to take off, and come in a number of colors so you can get a hold of your tangled cable mess!
Journal Stickers: If you’ve got a journal writer in your life, a set of journal stickers might be a great stocking stuffer idea. These stickers cover everything from organizational needs to important dates and even just pretty decor stickers. These can even work on a calendar, too!
Cheap Stocking Stuffer Ideas
There is no shortage of cheap stocking stuffer ideas from small games to useful items like lip balm. Just because a stocking stuffer doesn’t cost much, doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful or a good gift! Check out some of these great inexpensive stocking stuffers!
Monopoly Deal Card Game: Monopoly Deal is easily one of the most fun stocking stuffer ideas. It’s a card game based on the classic board game but it’s really, really fun. It moves much faster than the board game, is pretty portable so it can be played on the go, and is – most importantly – pretty cheap. We have it at the cottage and it makes a great game to play with friends and family!
Lip Balm: This is a classic stocking stuffer – and for good reason. In the winter, people’s lips can get really dry and a good lip balm can make a big difference. We like that this set is made from natural ingredients and comes in different flavors.
Soap Saver Bag: Another cheap stocking stuffer (but a good one) is a soap saver bag. We even have one in our shower. Basically, you place your bar of soap in the bag, create a lather, and wash yourself with the soap in the bag. The outside acts as a nice skin scrub while the soap doesn’t get depleted as quickly because it’s in the bag! You save money on soap and get softer skin at the same time – win-win!
Magnetic Grocery List: Another cheaper but super practical gift, a magnetic grocery list is always handy to have around. Simply use the magnet to hang the list in an area where you’ll see it (like on the fridge) and write down things you need to remember like groceries (obviously) or even appointments.

Tea Infuser: For the tea lover in your life, get them a small but useful tea infuser. This small capsule is made for loose leaf teas and can be used in a pot or in a single mug. The stainless steel design ensures quality while the screw lid and useful hook make it so easy to use!
New Christmas Ornament: If you have someone who likes – and maybe even collects – Christmas ornaments, then a new ornament might be a good stocking stuffer idea. We really like this cute red apron since we are really into baking during the holidays but there are of course many other Christmas ornaments out there. Definitely one of the cutest stocking stuffers out there!
Coasters: Coasters are a great stocking stuffer gift. You know why? Because you never realize you need a coaster until the moment you need a coaster to put down on the table. Then you’d wish you had a set of coasters. Coasters also come in lots of different designs so you can suit any decor!
Portable French Press: If you have a coffee lover (us) that needs coffee on the go, a portable French press might make a wonderful stocking stuffer. Slender in size and easy to clean, this French Press has a number of advantages over its other, more home-friendly counterpart.

We like this dish since it’s so easy to just place your jewelry in it at the end of the day without having to put everything into separate compartments.
Fuzzy Socks: Of course this stocking stuffer idea is not only for women but we really liked these colorful, fuzzy women socks. In our opinion, fuzzy socks are a great stocking stuffer idea for people who live in colder climates.
Change Purse: There’s nothing more functional than a change purse/wallet. Between all the cards we carry around – and the fact that loose change is still a thing in some people’s lives – a fashionable change purse is a great stocking stuffer idea.
