It’s that time of the year again when we tell ourselves we’re going to get ahead of holiday shopping. We have a running list of people to shop for but have no idea where to begin. Cue the ultimate stocking stuffer gift guide to help you pick something for all your loved ones. From your youngest sister to your beloved grandmother and everyone in between, I’ve got you covered.
What is a stocking stuffer?
A stocking stuffer is a small gift that can fit inside a standard Christmas stocking. Traditionally, stocking stuffers are inexpensive trinkets. The fun thing about this particular stocking stuffer gift guide? The items are small, useful and affordable. Gone are the days of cheap and useless stocking stuffers that would be thrown out the next day.
The great thing about doing stocking stuffers is that you’re able to get a little something for everyone. This is especially helpful for big families or if you have lots of people on your shopping list.
Why are stocking stuffers practical?
Stocking stuffers are a great way to get something for everyone without the added pressure of buying extravagant gifts. You can spend as much or as little as you like with zero expectations from your gift receiver. The older we get (at least in my family) the less the holidays become about gifts. For many families, the holiday season is the one time of the year that they get to gather together.
So if you’re racking your brain to choose gifts, look no further. You’ll love the options and find yourself getting extras for yourself!

Other Family and Friends Gift Giving Options
To alleviate the stress and financial strain, my family has enjoyed doing Secret Santa for the past couple of years. We use Draw Names which allows everyone to pick a name anonymously and even add their gift wishlist. This way we get to focus our efforts on one person – small gifts for the little ones excluded. I think it’s also a great way to have the focus of the holidays not be on gifts and spending.
