Last Minute Stocking Stuffer Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNT chapter.

Personally, I believe that stocking stuffers are the hardest thing to shop for. Bigger presents are special, and well thought-out. Gifts for stockings are smaller, and usually less personal. I always end up doing this last minute, so this year I decided to think a head and plan out ideas for my family members.

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Adult Males

  1. Jar of nuts
  2. Fancy pens/paper weights
  3. Phone charger or other electronic device
  4. New wallet
  5. Socks
  6. Coffee mug (on the larger side, but still doable)

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Adult Females

  1. Nail Polish
  2. Jewelry
  3. Candle (a small one) 
  4. Lotion
  5. Bath bombs
  6. Makeup/brushes 

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Teen Girls-

  1. Perfume
  2. Fuzzy Socks
  3. Bath bombs
  4. Hand sanitizers
  5. Gift cards
  6. Makeup/brushes

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Teen Boys

  1. Deodorant
  2. Gum/candy
  3. Gift cards
  4. New watch
  5. Movies
  6. Shaving kit

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Children-

  1. Art supplies
  2. Small stuffed animals
  3. Board Games
  4. Play-Doh
  5. Candy
  6. Books

Overall, you can mix and match any of these items to fit personal preferences. I did this list based off of my family and friends, but I know that everyone is different. Some items that everyone would love include gift cards, ornaments, journals, etc. Most items on this list can be bought at the dollar store, so you won’t break your budget, and you can focus on bigger or more special gifts. Remember, Christmas is a time of giving, so remember to show your loved ones just how special they truly are!
