Our Favorite Stocking Stuffers Gift Ideas 2021

It’s happened to all of us—all the Christmas gifts are tucked under the tree, the house is festively decked for the season, the menu planned. And that’s when you remember that you never got stocking stuffers.

These little gifts can easily slip your mind, which is why we’re helping you get a head start with our favorite stocking stuffer gift ideas for the entire family!

We had a lot of fun researching and coming up with our edit of the best stocking stuffers gift ideas. We hope you enjoy it!

FOR KIDS

1. we love the idea of personalized pencils – to make learning to write, doing homework, or doodling that much more special
2. give them something to play with right away! Young Wild and Friedman makes the most incredible sensory jars (they playdough smells amazing and is the best texture(!)) – which is why we think their magic color-changing dough jar would be a big hit on Christmas morning
3. let your kid(s) get in on capturing the morning with their first camera that is perfect for little hands. For older kids, we love the Instax Mini 11 and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 40 instant cameras
4. we got the kids this twelve-pack of toothbrushes last year and it’s been the gift that keeps giving! The kids love getting to pick a new color every month and we love that it makes ensuring their oral hygiene is on point super easy! BPA-free and of great quality!
5. as ready as we all are to be on the other side of covid, it’s still important our littles wear masks to keep them safe. give a few extra special + fun masks this year to refresh their choices! we love the beautiful design, fit, and patterns from busy bees.
6. they can never have enough books! while they don’t always fit in the stocking (go paperback if you want them to!) we love including a new book or two with the kid’s stockings. our kids love the five-minute storybook collections – it’s like Netflix for kids – they always just want to “read one more!”
7. a pair of cozy slippers is always a good idea.
8. chocolate coins for that special + delicious Christmas morning delight kids of all ages are sure to love.

** other great ideas we found in our research were stickers, temporary tattoos, hair bows, silly putty (or for the older kids Crazy Aaron’s Putty, glow sticks, new crayons or colored pencils, coloring books, bubbles, a giant candy bar, socks, electric toothbrush, hot wheels, gum, small ornament, and a stuffed animal (we love the idea of them unwrapped peaking from the top of stocking) **

FOR HER

1. we are obsessed with olive and june’s at-home manicure system and think all the ladies on your list will be too. their colors are incredible, their special tools ensure salon-perfect performance and you don’t have to leave your home — or endure the same rerun of HGTV at your local salon.
2. Okay, this is more if you are shopping for your own stocking stuffer, but we always like to add something we need and have a habit of refreshing our intimate’s drawer with our favorite commando styles around the holidays.
3. after friends raving about their artis makeup brushes, for how soft the bristles are and how incredibly well they apply makeup, we are putting them on this (and our own!) wish list this year. They tend to go on sale, so keep an eye on their site until they do!
4. We love these chic and fun silicone straws to make drinking her water, smoothie, iced latte, etc. more special and to help her cut down on the use of single plastics!
5. everyone should wear great sunscreen every day, regardless of where they live. we love this sunscreen and can’t imagine life without it. we promise you/her future self will thank you for such a practical and age-delaying gift!
6. treat her to beautiful tea towels to expand her kitchen linen collection. after all, tablescapes and home details are the new fashion.
7. Looking for more ideas? We also love this hotel lobby candle that smells divine and this face mask to give her that extra glow!

FOR HIM

1. golf balls are as classic as it gets when it comes to stocking stuffer ideas for all the (golfing) men in your life. give him the best ball in the game. Looking to make it a little more special, personalize a sleeve of golf balls for him.
2. we should all wear sunscreen every day, regardless of where we live, to prevent our largest organ from cancer and to prevent signs of aging. we love super goop’s unseen sunscreen for men!
3. give him super concentrated cold brew that comes in four different caffeine levels — none, low, regular, and extra — so he can make it easy all year. we love this and drink it all the time!
4. make his daily routine of shaving feel like he’s got a hot towel shave with Gillette Labs Heated Razor. I’ll definitely be getting this for KCD this year!
5. everyone on the internet is raving about Red Clay’s Spicy Margarita and Bloody Mary Salts. We’re were influenced and add a few to our cart to try!
6. refresh his white tees with Buck Mason’s perfectly designed tees collection. they offer different lengths to fit perfectly, so he will look great wearing them on their own or as their undershirt! 
7. a personalized money clip is also a great stocking stuffer gift – we love this one best!

FOR EVERYONE

1. my mom put an orange in the toe of my stocking since I can remember. It fills out the toe perfectly and is a nice juicy treat to balance all the sugar + sweetness of Christmas day.
2. what’s a stocking without a tasty delight? we are obsessed with see’s candies and love their chocolate Santas, chocolate balls, and mini chocolate boxes. honestly, you can’t go wrong with see’s — their candy is next-level delicious!
3. a beautiful ornament. my aunt used to give us an ornament every.single.christmas. I’ll admit, when I was young it wasn’t my favorite, but I’ve grown to love the tradition and have continued it in our family.

 

That’s it! We hope we got your ideas flowing and helped you cross a few more items off your to-do list. What are your favorite stocking stuffers gift ideas? We’d love to hear from you!
