i always find the stocking stuffer gift guides to be the hardest because i have too many ideas and i can’t stay focused on any of them haha — but here it is! lots of ideas for grownups and for kids! hope this helps you!

stocking stuffers for kids

we loooove these japanese candy kits. they are the most fun $8

the cutest shark chopsticks (that are so easy to use) for kids — arlo loves his!! $8

the cutest little harmonica — we have this and arlo loves it $18

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)

i know no kid ever said they were bored, but just in caseeee this pack of activity cards $10

a very cute little kazoo $8

for the younger ones, these little toothbrushes are so pretty! $13

if they wear crocs, how cute are these under the sea charms?! you may know my child was quite the under the sea fan haha $14

we love all of our candylab trucks and these are tiny and make the perfect size for a stocking or advent! $20

we have one of these drawing boards and arlo loves it so much, not sure if it would fit in a stocking but still!! $20 for 2

a 20 pack of cute hair clips in tons of colors! $9

we have this sticker book — and its so fun! so many stickers in here that arlo will use it for an entire restaurant meal. very worth $5!

you know why i like this — a view master in white!! but this one comes with a custom reel, which could be so cute of family photos!! $35

and if you don’t want to go the custom route — this viewmaster is totally cute too $24

cute bandaids are always a good stocking stuffer because they need them and you can get them something they’re into! we love these monster bandages but i’ve also gotten him sesame street, llamas etc! $18

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 $35

ella + mila nail polish in a cute lavender color $8

multicultural skin tone washable markers! there are only 8 colors but i think this would make a great stocking stuffer $7

and for the older kids — watercolor pencils $25

the most beautifully designed deck of cards for kids by oliver jeffers — it’s go fish, concentration and snap — we haven’t gotten to the proper playing of these but arlo loves them $13

ok i am obsessed with these gradient 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!!! $7

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 $14

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! $34

these smiley socks are just fun — $13 for a pack of 5

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 $32

i did a lot of practical gifts for the adults but minimal uno!! $9

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 $10
