Useful Stocking Stuffer Ideas
One of my favorite things about Christmas is stockings. I love hanging them on the fireplace, picking out personalized goodies for friends and family, and opening my own stocking on Christmas morning. Finding fun and useful gifts can be a challenge, though. Many people experience last-minute holiday stress and just reach for the easiest fillers.
Fear not! After tireless searching, I have found the right mix of stocking stuffer ideas to keep your nearest and dearest feeling merry.
For the chef:
Quirky Citrus Spritzer—It’s all about the juice!
MoMa’s folding cutting board—You can even use it to funnel those little gifts into the stocking.
Measuring cups—As a present? Yes. Check out these stackable, space-saving, and beautiful milk bottle ones from Anthropologie.
For the kids:
Toddlers—Grab & go activity bags with stickers, crayons, and cartoon favorites are great ways to help keep the little ones occupied anywhere.
Kids—Try a character electric toothbrush to help make this challenge a little more fun.
Tweens—Get some pop sockets for when their accessories need accessories.
For the dog lovers:
Ball launcher—These are fun for both humans and their pet friends.
Love Your Breed luggage tags by foufou—Help them find their luggage fast with these adorable tags.
Studio Scoop dog dish—You may need a larger stocking for this one, but we never miss an opportunity to promote a multi-functional item.
For the commuter:
A good umbrella—Windy Back Bay, anyone?
Agloves smart phone gloves—Social media doesn’t take a break just because it’s cold outside.
Portable battery charger for all those devices.
If those don’t fit your needs, try these fun ideas!
Hipster glasses contact lense case, a minimergency kit, handbag hanger,
Cards Against Humanity, or a multi-tool.
Also, a no-fail stocking stuffer for anyone is a gift card for their favorite store or service, like professional organizing from The Little Details!
