12 Stocking Stuffers Under $25
The possibilities are endless when it comes to stocking stuffers. Whether you’re looking for something practical and useful or something unique and quirky, we’ve rounded up 12 of our team’s favorites — all under $25.
Rosebud Salve
The perfect stocking stuffer for both beauty gurus and people who just want the basics, Rosebud Salve is a multipurpose product in one cute little tin. It’s a lip balm that soothes and hydrates without leaving behind a waxy, goopy consistency, and it can also be used for chapped or dry skin — particularly knees and elbows. It will quickly become an essential for cold winter months.
Cat-Butt Magnets
Because why not? As a cat lover, I can say that we love random gifts that have to do with cats. I’m not ashamed to admit I have a set of these magnets, and I know the cat lover in your family will think it’s hysterical to use one to hold your Christmas card on the fridge.
Snowflake Peppermint Bark Set
We don’t make the rules: You have to include something sweet in a stocking. During the holidays, is there a better flavor combination than peppermint and chocolate? This treat from Sur La Table features layers of peppermint-infused white and dark chocolates and crushed up candy canes. Whoever you give it to will be stealing bites of bark before they even finish going through their stocking.
World’s Smallest Pet Rock
Unless the responsibilities were previously discussed, it’s not the best idea to get someone a cat or dog for Christmas. But a rock? That can be a pet that requires no care. They’re also surprisingly adorable with the right set of googly eyes.
Strawberry Baggu
Baggu bags are functional and fashionable, and they fold up into neat little pouches, making them excellent stocking stuffers. The bags, which come in numerous colors and prints, are made from recycled nylon that’s reusable and can hold up to 50 pounds. Bringing in the groceries just got a whole lot easier and more sustainable!
Spot-It Party Game
Finally, a game that doesn’t take longer to learn than it does to play! Spot-It is a great game for the whole family. Throw it into someone’s stocking and you’ll all have something to play after Christmas dinner. The goal is simple and engaging: There is one matching symbol between the two cards, and the first person to find it wins.
“The Office” Dunder Mifflin Mug
We all know someone who rewatches “The Office” at least once a year. They’ll absolutely love a mug with the logo of everyone’s favorite paper company, and they’ll love you for the gift as well. As Michael Scott so eloquently said, “I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”
Pour-Over Coffeemaker
Introduce your friends and family to the lovely world of pour-over coffee. It looks fancy, it tastes fancy, and it’s also incredibly easy and convenient. You’re essentially doing what a coffeemaker does, but without all the potential bitterness.
“Barbie” Movie
“Barbie” was the biggest and arguably best movie of the year. Everyone and their mom saw the pop-culture phenomenon, so you surely know someone who would be absolutely thrilled to own a copy. The other biggest movie this year was “Oppenheimer” — also great, but not the most cheerful stocking stuffer.
Beer Chiller
Does the fridge get so full of supplies for Christmas dinner that people can’t fit their beer inside? No need to fret. Get a beer chiller as a stocking stuffer. You keep it in the freezer until it’s frozen, and then it goes directly into the beer, turning it from a warm beer to a crisp, cold one!
Tips and Toes Kit
We’re midway through December, and our skin is already suffering from the super dry winter weather. Our hands are cracked. Our lips are chapped. It’s safe to say someone you know could use this Burt’s Bees kit that includes lip balm, hand cream, foot cream and more. While you’re at it, buy one for yourself. You deserve it!
Yaktrax Hand Warmers
Christmas is just the beginning of winter, so it’s only going to get colder as we roll into January. Keep someone cozy with a pack of hand warmers. It may not be exciting when they find it in their stocking, but they will absolutely be thanking you later.
