NextImg:79 best Christmas stocking stuffer ideas for the whole family in 2023

Sometimes, the best gifts indeed come in small packages.

Once the stockings are hung by the chimney with care this year, there are myriad ways you can fill each one.

Perhaps you’d like to opt for the crowd-pleasing pair of warm socks, a stocking-ception if you will. Or think outside the stocking and go with mini gifts such as candy, lotions and keychains — the options are nearly endless.

Whatever route you take with your Christmas stocking stuffers, we picked a sampling of the best around, broken down into the best stocking stuffers for men, women and hard-to-shop-for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

As with all our well-curated gift guides, we encourage you to shop for yourself, too. The picks are just too fabulous to ignore. Even better, stocking stuffers are usually some of the most affordable gifts of all.

Below, click to narrow down your stocking stuffer search:
