It’s no secret that the quality standards for stocking stuffers are inversely proportionate to the amount you have to buy. You can’t possibly have an awesome idea for every single one of those little devils… or could you?
We’ve rounded up 25 stocking stuffer ideas that actually don’t suck. You can even skip choosing a specific color or size by buying an eGift Card that can be used to buy them, print it, place it inside the stocking, and let the recipient choose their favorite. Isn’t that awesome?

What’s a better way to fill an inexplicably large sock than with other regular-sized socks? Make sure you choose them in cool bright colors and prints so they make a statement, or let the recipient choose their favorite.
2- Journal or Planner
The best way to start a new year is with a good plan, and the best way to do that is by keeping a journal that could function both as a diary and a planner. Help your family plan the year ahead in a more organized and consistent way, and in style too.
