40+ Stocking Stuffers for Everyone on Your List!

A Classic Novel – To Kill a Mockingbird, Oliver Twist, The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre and so many more!

Also, don’t forget to put a clementine or an orange in the toe of the stocking! There are many theories on the history of oranges in stockings such as oranges were a luxury during the Great Depression and a symbol of St. Nicholas’s present of a gold dowry.
Happy Holidays and may this season bring you so much joy, love and happy times!

I absolutely love this list! I’ve saved it for later, as I still have some gifts to buy! π Thank you for compiling this quick guide for us! <3
So glad you like it Katie π
This is a fantastic list! It’s giving me so many ideas! The Burt’s Bee’s beauty gift set is a brilliant idea for so many of my friends. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Lauren! Much appreciated π
These are all wonderful gift ideas! I still have some shopping to do so will definitely be bookmarking this one!
There are so many great ideas on this list! I love the idea of a Moleskine recipe journal or a salt cellar. I’m sure lots of people would enjoy the essential oil starter set as well π
Yes! The essential oil kit is really amazing. I use mine every day.
Tons of ideas (and things I’d love for myself π). Thanks for sharing!
Love this list! I need to read the The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up !! Thanks for the recommendation!
Perfect timing- thatβs all I have left to shop for! Thanks for the ideas!
Such a great roundup! I love your gift recommendations and how they’re so specific to each type of person. I think I see a few things I need to add to my OWN list from this π
Thanks! Yes – I would be happy if any of these items were bought for me too!!
A bullet journal sounds great to go with my happy planner I just bought!
Being the lifelong bookworm that I am, in elementary school I used to use those LED light bookmarks to stay up reading under the covers WAY past my bedtime LOL. Lovely list!
Fantastic ideas! I’d love almost anything on the Book Lover’s or Organized list for sure. Thanks for sharing – and breaking things down by category.
-Lauren
Fantastic list! Looking into those mini oil diffusers as we speak! Thank you for this π
Wow, very comprehensive! Thanks for putting in the hard work so I don’t have to π
As a super-organised book lover, everything in both of those categories sound fantastic! I love how you’ve split out the categories.
These categories are great! Thank you so much for this!
These are great ideas! Always looking for new ideas!!
I got so many great ideas! My favorite are the soy candles
I really like the LED book lights. Maybe I’ll put those in my kids stocking to promote more reading….
Oooohhh Such great idea. I want to put some of these things on my list! I have really been wanting to try the essential oils and diffuser!
I have always filled a stocking for my husband. Last year, he decided he would do one for me and it was fun! First time I’d had one since I was a kid. But then he told me his honest feelings of how it just was’t something he’d ever done and didn’t enjoy it so I guess it was my last. hahaha
Great Ideas!

THIS is life!!! Thank you!!! I love getting people gifts but I am admittedly not the best at shopping. THIS is so helpful! I especially love the Audible membership idea. I’m ramping up for marathon training and I need to load up on audio books for those long runs. I’ve always listened to music or podcasts but started books recently. The BOOKS are key to getting “lost.”
Great idea. I bet listening to books helps tremendously on your runs!
Stocking stuffers and small gifts are hard for me to pick out, but you clearly know what you are doing! I love the post, compelling read as well as a great list of ideas! Time to go shop!
Thanks so much Catie! Good luck shopping π
OHH these are all great ideas, thanks for sharing them with me!
This is great! I love the organization themed ones. Thanks for sharing!
As a book lover myself, I would LOVE a pocket version of a classic novel in my stocking! Pair it with a good crossword and I’m good to go π
I know! I would love that too π These are all secretly gifts I would like to receive haha!!
This is amazing especially with all the different categories to choose from. Is it wrong to buy a gift for myself π
I hope it’s not wrong as I just did lol Oops!!
This is a fun list with lots of things I would have chosen myself!
These are SO great! I desperately needed these ideas this year!!
I would love everything from the book lovers list!
Thanks April π
What a great list! I think Iβm going to take some ideas from each category for a gift box for my SIL, I think sheβd like a lot of these items!
That’s a great idea Marie. If you do I’d love to hear what she liked best. Have a good one!
These are some wonderful ideas. Love the planner and books. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely clicking on the links. Charlene – https://faithtoraisenate.com

I love the idea of magnetic notepads as a stocking stuffer! Such a good idea !

I love these! Especially the nerdy bookworm Christmas ornament and of course the British chocolate selection π
Such a great list of stocking fillers! I kind of want to get the biscoff cookie spread for myself though..maybe I can make a stocking for myself hehe. Thank you for sharing all of these ideas! x
Great idea and so helpful Yolanda! Thanks for sharing.
Great list. I love how you organized it by categories! Thanks for sharing!
You have some great ideas here. Definitely got me thinking about a few people that are on my list! I love the idea of gifting something useful like something to cook with or a planner for those who like to stay organized. Too often I see stocking stuffer lists full of ‘stuff’ that’s likely just going to sit around and collect dust. No one needs more random trinkets! Right?
