Fellow mom, we’re exhausted too, and the holidays are nowhere near over. Whether you’re someone who finishes most of your Christmas shopping in July (jealous) or you’re just getting started (we see you, we are you), stockings are naturally a last-minute afterthought.
If you’re wondering “Good god, aren’t Christmas presents enough? Why do I also need to get stocking stuffers? What do I even get?” Take a deep breath because we’ve got it all covered.
From practical items to products that will have your family laughing immediately, we’re here to help you finish up that last bit of holiday shopping, one stocking stuffer at a time.
“What’s for dinner tonight?”
“I don’t know, what do you want?”
If this conversation is normal in your household, you need the Food Decision Dice. This 12-sided die (seriously!) will help you and your spouse make the call. With options including subs, sushi, and even breakfast for dinner, this cheeky gift takes the guesswork out of deciding what to eat. Get it on Amazon for $8.99.
If you’ve got an artsy kiddo (or adult) in your life, they’ll love these whimsically designed pencils that write in a variety of colors. These pencils are available in patterned designs or a rainbow 7-colors-in-1 set. Get 12 of them on Amazon for $7 or $13, depending on the variety you choose.
Have you ever noticed that no matter how many sets of nail clippers you have in your house, it can be tough to find a pair when you need them the most? This 10-piece manicure set is a great stocking stuffer for adults and teens (especially those who are tough to buy for). In addition to standard nail clippers, you’ll also get tweezers, cuticle scissors, a nail file, and more. You can snag it on Amazon for only $6!
Whether you’re sitting around the tree with your kids or you’re enjoying a large family gathering, Mad Libs are a great way to get everyone laughing. This perfect stocking stuffer is currently on sale on Amazon for $6, and it’s a great gift for tweens, teens, and adults.
Little-known fact: it’s totally OK to have chocolate for breakfast on Christmas! These solid milk chocolate kisses are a great way to finish off your stockings (and they’re super-cheap). They’re currently available for $2 a piece on Amazon, so stock up on these bites of goodness while you can!
If your little ones get a bit restless after a sugary Christmas breakfast, these quick-to-build LEGO ornaments (designed for ages 6 and up) can be a great way to keep them busy and focused amid all of the holiday craziness. For just $13, you’ll get four new ornaments that can keep from one year to the next. An important note: the kit comes with all four ornaments in one box, so you might want to unbox and wrap each ornament separately so you can use the kit to fill several stockings.
Looking for something seriously weird that will have your family cracking up on Christmas morning? Check out these animal paw socks on Amazon for $7 or $9 per pair. These are also a super-fun pick for a white elephant gift. If you want to outfit the whole family in animal socks, order a double pack or two.
