Affordable Stocking Stuffer Ideas The Whole Family Will Love!

Stocking Stuffers are the best, am I right or am I right? Stocking stuffers just add another layer of magical goodness to the experience of Christmas morning. So awesome. What’s not awesome, is panic shopping for stocking stuffers on Christmas Eve. I’m ashamed to admit that I have been guilty of doing this more than once, which is why I have put together a list of inexpensive and thoughtful stocking stuffer ideas the entire family will love!

There is something so fun and exciting about opening up your little gifts before opening the big gifts! However, I tend to get caught up on all of the other aspects of Christmas and then I am totally scrambling last minute to literally get anything but a pack of mints as a stocking stuffer. I know, it’s bad.

Honestly though, who has the time and stamina to fight brave the stores during Christmas? If that’s you, mad respect to you my friend. Mall parking lots during peak season don’t terrify you? Props.

Now, for the rest of us who change out of our regular pair of yoga pants into a “nicer” pair of yoga pants when we want to feel fancy, we can just go online, while wrapped in a blanket like a burrito to buy things that will make our family love us. Perfect.

This is why I love lists. Lists are nice and easy and reliable. This list is especially good because all the stocking stuffer ideas on this list are affordable, useful and thoughtful! Whether you are looking for stocking stuffers for men, kids, toddlers, tweens or even colleagues or friends. I got you covered! Your family will be thrilled to open up their stockings on Christmas morning! You got this!

Just like hand cream, hand sanitizer isn’t something people think to actively look for when shopping. It gets overlooked but is absolutely essential, especially during cold and flu season.

This CleanWell Botanical Hand Sanitizer Spray is plant-based, kid-friendly, non-toxic, cruelty-free and moisturizing while being in the form of a handy spray! So great. Grab the six-pack so he can keep a few in his car, in his gym bag, and work bag! Yay for healthy immune systems!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Women

1. New Mug and Favorite Coffee

If the woman in your life is a mother, chances are she needs fuel and lots of it. If she isn’t a coffee drinker, get her a box of her favorite tea and a new teacup or kettle. Alternatively, you could just get her a good bottle of wine and a new wine glass. Either way, this is one gift she will definitely use.

2. Jade Roller

I didn’t even know I needed a Jade Roller until I got one and now I use it daily.

Puffy eyes from crying after seeing my credit card bill? Jade Roller.

Stayed up all night with the baby? Jade Roller.

Went out with friends for the first time in months and got hungover? Jade. Roller.

This Jade Roller and Gua Sha Set will help her start aging backward or at the very least, not look like she slept on the floor of a grocery store, as I do on most days.

3. Fitness Tracker

I love fitness trackers for so many reasons. They help me stay on top of my health and fitness goals and monitor my progress. A Fitbit is a great stocking stuffer to start the New Year and crush those fitness goals.

4. Water Bottle

Nobody ever drinks enough water. Especially moms. We literally run on like two cups of water a week. Get her a fun new water bottle like this one that comes in many colors and doesn’t leak!

5. Eye masks

Do you sense a theme year with the jade roller and the spa gift cards? The theme is that we never have time to take care of ourselves because we are busy taking care of every living creature in our lives.

That’s why we need the people that love us to occasionally hold us hostage and force us to throw on some under-eye masks and lie down for like 20 minutes. We need it.

These collagen under-eye patches are perfect are exactly what she needs for when she hasn’t slept in three days but needs to go out in public without people asking her if she is unwell.

6. Wireless Charging Hub

Everyone constantly needs their phone charged. When my phone battery gets to under 20%, I legit start panicking. This wireless charging hub is probably the most useful gift you can give.

7. Foot Peel Mask

Okay, I know this is kind of gross but just hear me out. We are super busy, okay? Most of us also don’t get pedicures nearly as often as we should.

These Foot Peel Exfoliating Masks are the love child of pimple popping videos combined with pressure washers cleaning sidewalks videos. It’s a mess and you absolutely cannot stop yourself from looking.

Once she uses this foot peel mask and feels the immense satisfaction of watching her skin shedding like a boiled potato, she will never look at things the same way.

8. Letters

We love a good letter. Tell us how and why we are so awesome. Trust me, we need to hear it more than you think. I love the “Letters to You” Series.

They are thoughtful, inexpensive and sentimental. Whether it’s for your significant other, your mom, your daughter or just a friend, you cannot go wrong with this gift. This one hits a home run every single time.

9. Journal

Journals are one of the best stocking stuffers to start off the New Year. Whether it’s for writing down New Year’s resolutions, jotting down tasks, keeping track of schedules or simply expressing gratitude, journals are helpful and practical.

If you’re not sure what the journal will be used for, this Five Minute Journal is the perfect journal for beginners. You’re basically giving them the gift of happiness. Go you!

Everybody loves a good candle. This one by Illume is literally one of the best scents on the planet. This is the only candle worth burning during the winter. It literally smells like cozy winter memories. The best.

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Teens and Tweens

1. Selfie Light

This selfie light is great for keeping in backpacks and perfect for capturing the perfect pic for the ‘gram when lighting is an issue.

2. Earbud case

Teens are obsessed with Airpods so they probably got a pair for their birthday. Why not get them an Airpod case to protect their expensive headphones? These Airpod cases are perfect for doing just that.

3. Sketchbook

When I was a teen, my favorite pastime was zoning out during class and doodling on the corners of my page. Some things never change. I’m pretty sure teens still zone out and doodle during class. Encourage their creativity (after school) with this Moleskin Sketchbook that will help turn those mindless doodles into beautiful art.

4. Phone Ring Holder / Popsocket

If there’s one thing I know for sure, like adults, teens really like their cellphones. Get them a Phone Ring Holder or a Popsocket so they don’t drop and shatter their expensive phone while watching in horror and ugly-crying (not that this has ever happened to me).

5. Movie Tickets

Who doesn’t love a good movie? Treat the teens in your life to a movie with the works. Popcorn, soda and a bag of chocolate!

6. Facial Spray

Teens are obsessed with this Mario Badescu Facial Spray. I think it went viral on Instagram. They love this stuff and douse themselves in it constantly. I have this spray and quite refreshing but the youth especially like this spray and use it religiously. Also, this spray is perfect for freshening up between classes!

7. Coloring Book for Mindfulness

I want one of these Enchanted Forest coloring books so badly! The graphics are gorgeous and you could get lost for hours while letting your imagination flow into these pages.

I think this is a perfect gift to help ease anxiety, stress, focus or boredom and it makes a great stocking stuffer for teens.

8. Sheet Masks

The teenage years are the perfect time to develop a skincare routine. Proper skin maintenance is everything and the earlier we start, the better.

These Dermal Korea Collage Essence Face Masks are the perfect introduction into the magical world of Korean skincare (they do it best) for under $10.

9. Bath Bombs

Being a teen is tough. Bath bombs help. Give the teenager in your life the gift of having a spa experience right in their own home. These bath bombs smell divine and work surprisingly well.

10. Bluetooth speaker

You might not understand the music your teen listens to, but you can definitely help them have the best musical experience with these Bluetooth speakers that sound crisp and look sleek.

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Babies

1. Bath Toys

Babies are happy with any shiny new trinket. Even more so, if they get to play with in in the bath. This little bath toy fishing set is adorable.

2. Board Books

I believe a copy of Goodni Goodnigoon is actually handed to the parents of newborn babies as they exit the hospital.

This chunky board book full of farm animals is a suitable choice for babies which doesn’t involve gifting them another copy of Goodnight Moon.

3. Booties

Babies can never have too many booties. Their feet get so cold! The Luvable Friends Fleece Booties are literally the best booties for their tiny feet.

4. Bandana Bibs

Bandana bibs are crucial for babies. These bandana bibs will keep baby looking stylish while catching all that drool from constant teething! Fun!

5. Lovey

Protip: Get a stuffy that is easily replaceable, like this Jellycat Stuffy and stock up on a few for when one of them gets inevitably lost. Nobody wants to deal with a lost lovey.

6. Pacifier

Babies go through pacifiers faster than adults go through bottles of wine. They get lost constantly but Wubbanubs help a lot. These little pacifiers are brilliant because they are easy to find and harder to lose. Genius.

7. Sippy Cup

I tell new parents about these Munchkin Miracle Cups all the time. They are so cool! Beyonce uses them. Enough said.

8. Teethers

Babies love putting stuff in their mouths. These Nuby Ice Gel Teethers are soothing and fun to play with.

9. Fork and Spoon Set

For the baby who is just learning how to eat, this adorable Baby Utensil Set is perfect for the introduction to solids.

10. Stroller Toys

Babies absolutely love toys that are super distracting and super shiny. Freddie the Firefly is perfect for distracting babies while haphazardly downing a coffee.
