I’ve never been a huge fan of receiving Christmas gifts, but I do still love the tradition of stuffing a stocking. Each year, Alex and I buy stocking stuffers for each other with a limit of $100. It’s fun to get creative and surprise each other with a few small gifts. We never need or want any big gifts, so this is a fun tradition that we started a few years ago.
Stocking stuffers can be quite difficult for people to find, and many people will end up resorting to underwear and socks. If you want to do something a little more creative this year, keep reading! Many of these stocking stuffers I listed below would be great gifts for almost ANY adult. Also, these are all items that people would actually use and appreciate. There’s nothing worse than receiving random crap and having to donate it the following year.
I hope this post is helpful and gives you some inspiration for what to put in your family’s stockings this year. Cheers!
