It’s that time to start thinking about cute, creative, or practical stocking stuffers you could use this Christmas. The key to a good stocking stuffer is something small, but useful. Here’s a list of 27+ of my favorite ideas for stocking stuffers this season. I found these at Jenna Blogs and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share them with you. Go to her site for the full list (over 150!)
1.
$5 gift cards (Starbucks, McDonald’s, Amazon, Borders etc). Gift cards are something small that everyone will appreciate. If you’re not sure they like a restaurant or store, you can go with a generic Visa or MasterCard gift card that they can use wherever they like.

2.
A favorite candy (my mom always got us those plastic candy canes filled with M&M’s or fun sized kit kats).

3.
Mini pair of collapsible scissors. My parents actually did this for me one Christmas and it is my favorite thing ever. I always have a pair with me.

4.
Travel sized games (connect four, uno, etc). This is especially nice if your family loves to go on road trips.

12.
Nail polishes are another thing that makes a great gift, but doesn’t really make sense to wrap it up in its own box. They’re usually not very expensive and will get used a lot.
