stocking stuffers for kids
amazon
japanese candy kit
we loooove these japanese candy kits. they are the most fun. the burger is by far our favorite!
amazon
shark chopsticks
the cutest shark chopsticks (that are so easy to use) for kids — arlo loves his!!
amazon
yoto story cards
i love little gifts that add to a collection — that’s why i love the yoto player because we can continue to gift him story cards to go with it! (we have the regular yoto but i think the mini seems better because the regular one is kinda huge)
amazon
candylab hot dog van
we love all of our candylab trucks and these are tiny and make the perfect size for a stocking or advent calendar!
amazon
lcd writing tablet
we have one of these drawing boards and arlo loves it so much, not sure if it would fit in a stocking but still!!
amazon
glow in the dark groovy stress ball
my kid and husband love this ball so much, it’s squishy enough to be a sensory ball but also fun to throw around
amazon
viewfinder with custom reel
you know why i like this — a viewfinder in white!! but this one comes with a custom reel, which could be so cute of family photos!!
amazon
welly bandages
cute bandaids are always a good stocking stuffer because they need them and you can get them something they’re into!
amazon
doll family
we love “guys” in our house and have hundreds, but if you don’t — i love these guys! very cute little wood family and they have flexible arms
amazon
3-in-1 card deck
the most beautifully designed deck of cards for kids by oliver jeffers — go fish, concentration and snap!
amazon
farting poop pen
i mean what has happened to me — you know i love beautiful things but i just know a farting poop pen would make my child happy too hahaha wow i’ve changed
amazon
voice changer
arlo loves this thing! it’s basically his own little talk boy (i just wish you could have a whole tape of recordings)
amazon
why i’m grateful for you book
a book to fill out with reasons you’re grateful for them, so sweet
amazon
dabble & dollop bath bombs
these bath bombs come in the cutest colors and smell really good too
amazon
yumearth candy canes
you can’t have a stocking without candy canes inside and i feel like these slightly “better for you” ones can be tough to find in the store
amazon
wavy glass straws
these glass straws would be so fun for older kids but adults are allowed to use them too
stocking stuffers for adults
amazon

ok i am obsessed with these post it notes — i love them and use them all the time and yes it may be a boring gift but boring in a good way!!!

i have MISSED mechanical pencils since i was a kid, they’re not .05 like i loved, but they’re .07 and they’re pretty too!!
amazon
slim portable charger
am i a broken record about these slim power banks yet?! they are the best ever — every cord you need built in and you charge it in the wall so you don’t need to deal with any cords!
amazon
apple tv remote cover
if i haven’t already persuaded you in the past to buy one of these apple tv remote covers, buy them! they make finding the remote actually possible and they make it a lot easier to hold too, way less slippery and they have a wrist strap!

done parenting today shower steamers
for the overworked parent — these shower steamers sound great
amazon
multi-tool pen
i think a pen multi-tool set would be a great gift for all the gadgety people in your life
amazon
light magic trick set
no you’re not confused this is on the adult section lol. gid has these magic fingertip lights and loves them a looot.
amazon
usb lighter
this lighter is the best!!! it’s long enough to fit into candles, and instead of butane it’s electric, so you just charge it and it works forever! i love it a lot
etsy
sun and moon ornament
a nice ornament is always a good gift and i love this cute sun and moon one
amazon
maldon sea salt flakes
i’ll probably never stop including these sea salt flakes on gift guides because it’s such an easy gift everyone would use
amazon
bachan’s japanese barbecue sauce
i freaking love this japanese barbecue sauce and use it all the time — it’s like a teriyaki soy sauce kind of taste, i love it and sometimes i just put it on a rotisserie chicken
amazon
the good hurt fuego hot sauce set
if they like hot sauce, here’s a great mini hot sauce pack!
amazon
herbes of provence
this little herbes of provence + crock would make a great stocking stuffer for any cooks you know, my favorite spice forever!
amazon
gourmet caramels
it is my firm belief that no stocking is complete without some kind of candy inside
amazon
zitsticka patches
what grown-up wouldn’t want zit patches?! these work soooo well. they’re expensive but they WORK. i will say the packaging seems super excessive and i wish they would change that
amazon
oil-absorbing face roller
gid has oily skin so i got him this and he uses it all the time! so much better than the sheets

for the first time in my whole life, when i get pedicures now they don’t suggest i need extra callous removal because i use this foot file, i mean!!!
amazon
rain or shine sunscreen
i love practical gifts for stocking stuffers that they’ll actually use — we love this sunblock. it’s high SPF and goes on really thin, no white cast!
amazon
necessaire gel deodorant
another great practical gift — this deodorant has been working well for me! this one is the eucalyptus scent but you can also get fragrance-free
amazon
deodorant wipes
and these deodorant wipes are so great for traveling or just to throw in your bag
