10 Stocking Stuffer Ideas for the Whole Family

When it comes to buying presents for the holidays, you probably have plenty of ideas for your friends and family. (Your family may have even given you a list-making your shopping extremely easy.) But what are you doing for stocking stuffers this year? Do you have ideas for those little presents everyone always looks forward to?

It can be difficult coming up with items that will make everyone on your holiday shopping list happy, but here are some ideas to help!

1. Books: Books are a great stocking stuffer gift for everyone on your list – young or old. If you want to give a book that will have the reader in the holiday spirit, click here for a great list. Or, if you just want a great book that will grab their attention, the Barnes and Noble Bestsellers List has a fantastic selection.
2. Earbuds: Between missing earbuds or broken earbuds, there’s probably not a person around who couldn’t use a new pair in their stocking. What Hi-Fi has taken a hard look at both premium and budget earbuds and created a list of the best ones of 2019? Depending on how much you want to spend, you can probably find a pair you like on their list.
3. Sneaker Balls: Whether you have a workout fanatic on your list or just your favorite teen who has some shoes that could use a little help, sneaker balls are a great little gift. Walk Jog Run has ranked their favorite sneaker balls to make your shopping even easier.
4. School Spirit Items: School spirit items are a great gift for the holidays. Check with your local parent-teacher organization to see what they have available to show off spirit at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. And, if you’re looking to support a college or university, all you need to do is head online and do a quick search. 
5. Pens, Stationery, and Art Supplies: Depending on who you are buying for, you can always fill a stocking up with pens, stationery, and art supplies. By now, kids probably need a refresher on their school supplies, and a nice pen is always a great gift for someone. 
6. Sunglasses: Who hasn’t misplaced a pair of sunglasses before? And that’s why they make a great gift! Check out Knockaround for a great selection of sunglasses at a price that won’t break the bank. They even have sunglasses for kids!
7. Fun Socks: There’s not a soul who wouldn’t appreciate some fun socks for Christmas. Whether it be some snazzy dress socks for the man who has everything or some that are warm and fuzzy for relaxing at home, you’ll find that this is not a hard gift to shop for.
8. Gloves or Mittens: The colder weather means you need to keep your hands warm. Pick up everyone on your shopping list a pair of gloves or mittens, so they’re prepared for the freezing temperatures.
9. Lip Balm: Everyone will appreciate a lip balm that they can throw in their backpack, purse, or briefcase to prevent chapped lips. Business Insider shares a few of their favorites for 2019.
10. Scratch-Off Lottery Tickets: Who doesn’t want the chance to win a few dollars?
