No matter your age, discovering what’s in your stocking on Christmas morning is just as thrilling as what’s under the tree. The gift of giving and watching your loved ones open up their well-thought-out presents is even more exciting! However, with so many new tech gadgets and ideas coming out every day, it can be difficult to find the perfect stocking stuffers. Luckily, we’ve come up with some of the best stocking stuffers for this holiday season. Any of these ideas, even if they’re last-minute gifts, are sure to put a smile on the face of whoever’s on the receiving end.
Gift Cards
Gift cards have been the quintessential stocking stuffer choice for years, and for good reason, too! There is nothing better than giving someone free rein at their favourite store, restaurant, or coffee shop. Quite frankly, it takes the pressure off of you, the gift giver! Places like Starbucks, Indigo, and Amazon are super popular options for gift cards that will most certainly bring some joy.
Skincare Essentials
Skincare essentials are great stocking stuffers, no matter who you are shopping for. For example, Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart offer a wide range of moisturizers, facial cleansers, and serums. If you are unsure of what exactly to buy for that certain someone, hand moisturizers and lip balms are always a safe bet. You can also check out some of the many holiday gift ideas that Shoppers Drug Mart offers! There are a plethora of fragrances, makeup and skincare essential bundles to choose from.
Bath Bombs
After a long day at work or hosting holiday parties, who doesn’t want to kick back and unwind with a relaxing bath? It comes as no surprise that bath bombs have been a staple stocking stuffer for the past couple of years. With brands such as Lush offering countless types of bath bombs and other stocking-stuffer ideas, there is something for whoever you are shopping for.
Hats and Mittens
We’ve all received that classic pair of socks for Christmas. And while that may be an item some look forward to, why not switch it up? With the cold weather in full force in Ontario, hats and mittens are the perfect stocking stuffers that will guarantee their use! Besides, with our winter months being as long as they are, nobody can ever have too many pairs of hats and mittens. Check out these fantastic unisex options by Adidas!
Phone Chargers
Let’s face it: we’ve all been guilty of having that one phone charger cord that’s seen better days. Nowadays, practically everyone has a smartphone. This is why a phone charger is the perfect stocking stuffer if you know the recipient’s phone model. It’s something most people use daily, but nobody ever wants to buy one themselves. Think home charger, car charger, and one for the office; a person can’t have too many chargers! Options from brands like Otterbox and Anker offer heavy-duty cables that will outlast your average Apple or Samsung phone charger. Alternatively, you can find budget-friendly options on Amazon or at locations like Winners/HomeSense.
Earbuds
Earbuds are the perfect stocking stuffer for any music lover or an avid podcast listener in your life. Though many variations, such as the classic Apple AirPods, will come with a heftier price tag, many affordable alternatives won’t break the bank. Check out this pair from JBL, which is available at Best Buy. If you’d love to go above and beyond, this Bose pair is an excellent stocking stuffer.
AirTags
We all have that one person in our lives who constantly loses or misplaces things. If that’s who you are shopping for, then some Apple AirTags are the perfect stocking stuffers. These devices only cost around $40 and can be attached to keys, backpacks, and wallets, so they are discoverable in the user’s iPhone’s Find My app. This way, they will never worry about losing their valuables ever again!
Polaroid Camera
Struggling to find some stocking stuffers for that crafty person in your life? Well, an instant camera might be the answer! These instant Polaroid-style cameras have been all the rage for the past couple of years, and for good reason. At roughly $90, the Fujifilm Instax Mini is the perfect gift for the creative artists in your life!
Wallet
Nothing gets more daily use than a classic wallet. So, why not use this holiday season to update that special someone’s daily carry? From classic leather to a simple card holder, wallets come in all shapes and sizes these days. Have a hard time choosing? These classic slim wallets from Ridge make a perfect stocking stuffer and eliminate the need for an overstuffed wallet!
Tumbler
There is nothing worse than arriving at work, only to find out your coffee is cold. This is why a high-quality tumbler makes the perfect stocking stuffer for coffee lovers and tea drinkers alike! These Yeti tumblers are both affordable and of incredible quality. Additionally, they are the perfect size to stuff in that stocking! If you’d like to go the extra mile, throw in a bag of the recipient’s favourite coffee or tea!
Lottery Tickets
For those of age, the gift of luck and possible winnings can’t be beat. Not only are lottery tickets a cheap stocking stuffer, but they also offer tons of scratching fun on Christmas morning. No matter who you are, everybody likes to have a bit of extra cash in their pocket. A lottery ticket is an excellent way to do this without just putting a few bills in there.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are another excellent stocking stuffer! These are concentrated extracts distilled or expressed from flowers, leaves, resins, roots, and other organic materials. When it comes to essential oils, Sage will be your best bet! They offer a wide array of essential oils, diffusers, and other skin care products! One of their most popular items is the Peppermint Halo Headache Remedy Roll-on. Its cooling, tingling sensation is perfect for relieving headaches of all types.
Wireless Speaker
Similar to headphones, a wireless/Bluetooth speaker is a perfect gift for that music lover in your life! Nowadays, wireless speakers come in all shapes and sizes. They can be used while cleaning the house, exercising, or working. Some even feature waterproof exteriors! Many of these are cordless, portable, and super slim, making them easy to transport. Many incredible options from Bose and JBL produce high-quality sound at a decent price point.
Candy!
Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a bit of candy in their stocking? Candy is a cheap and fun option for that sweet tooth in your life. Whether it’s something sour, something sweet, or a bit of both, you’ll be sure to get some smiles from this sweet and easy gift. As a bonus, you can always shop local and find sweets made in your city, like a treat from The Candy Bar in Toronto! If all else fails, a candy cane will always be a great backup choice!
Phone or Tablet Screen Cleaner
As mentioned above, many of our phones take a severe beating in our day-to-day lives. This includes being exposed to many different germs! This is what makes a phone and tablet screen cleaner an incredible option as a stocking stuffer. Screen cleaners, like this one on Amazon, are a great way to keep your phone screen always free and clear of germs and bacteria.
We hope this list of stocking stuffers helps you find the perfect gifts for that special someone in your life!
