We all love stocking stuffers because good things come in small packages. We have curated our top picks to include something for everyone on your holiday list. Stocking stuffers, traditionally, were fruit (usually oranges), small toys, candy and coins for small children. Since adults got into the act, stocking stuffers are usually a combination of things that you need, items that are useful that you may not buy for yourself and more extravagant gifts. Don’t forget to check out our other gift guides to find even more inspiration.
