Are you having a hard time filling up those stockings? Sometimes it seems a little difficult to find stocking stuffer ideas that are meaningful. I admit, there were some years that I couldn’t find cool stuff to fill them up with. I ended up adding stupid crappy gifts to them that don’t get used!
Have you ever had that issue? I wanted to change that this year!
Before we get started, I just made a post about personalized gift ideas for men, women, and kids. So if you’re looking for more gift ideas make sure to check that out!
Stocking Stuffer Ideas
I tried really hard to find some gifts that I thought would actually be used throughout the year. There are four categories, men, women, kids, and a list for survivalists/preppers just for fun!
Stocking Stuffers For Women
Women can be hard to shop for at times. I found a few items that could make just about any woman happy! I hope that you can find some stocking stuffers for the special lady in your life on this list that I made.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Women
I found a few little gifts perfect for a Christmas stocking for women! A little bit of this and a little bit of that!
These headbands come in a couple of different colors and they are so cute. They look really warm too.
These are nail files, and I constantly seem to need more of them! There are 12 in a pack, so if there are multiple women in your life, this is perfect!
Most ladies would love to have a portable manicure set. This is perfect for every day and even for traveling.
- Multi-function
- Stainless steel
- Compact
- Comes with a case
If she doesn't have these socks yet, then these are perfect! She'll love, love, love them! Although, if you can read that message, get the girl a glass of wine! Mmkay?
Many of my comfy pants are like 20 years old. Getting a new pair in my stockings would be awesome! These come in like 15 or 20 different styles, and a girl can never have too many comfy pants!
Bring a straw with you everywhere you go! It comes with a pipe cleaner and a keychain holder. This is a great gift for the person who is an earth-friendly gal and wants to lessen her footprint on the Earth.
An exhaustive packing list of everything you could ever need on a trip, this organizational tool will help even the most forgetful to arrive and depart fully equipped!
These little hair clips are adorable and a perfect little gift to add to a Christmas stocking!
Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Men
I found a few useful items that men could use throughout the year. On this list, you’ll find beard kits, a personalized watch, wallet, and many more.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Men
Men are typically easy to buy for in my opinion. However, finding gifts that they will be able to use all year might be a little difficult without a plan. I found some great items I think just about any man will love and use every day.
The nail clippers set Includes large nail clippers, medium nail clipper, oblique nail cutter, manicure plier, cuticle knife, oblique knife, acne needle, scraper, nail file, double-headed pick, eyebrow clip, dig ear spoon, spiral Ear spoon, dead skin fork, eyebrow cut.
Who doesn't love jerky? Try this fun exotic meat pack. It can feature alligator, elk, buffalo, kangaroo, ostrich, pheasant, venison, and wild boar.
This complete set comes with scissors beard wax, balm, wash, comb, and brush! It also comes with a free E-Book and storage bag.
I don't know if you've seen one of these in action, but this is super cool!! Tame those crazy beard and mustache hairs with this beard straightener. it comes with free beard balm and beard growth oil. Plus an E-Book!
These watches aren't just for husbands, they have them for sons, or to dad from daughter, for son from mom, etc... A really nice personalized watch is a great gift in the Christmas stocking.
These knives are gorgeous! You can add a custom name to the wooden handle on these knives. They have a nice blade and a belt clip.
- Belt clip
- Custom engraved name
- Wooden handle
This wallet is very nice and has several awesome features. it includes free personalization!
- RFID blocking wallet
- Free personalization

Stocking Stuffers For Kids & Teens
Companies make all kinds of cheap insignificant gifts for stockings that end up breaking within minutes of playing with them. I really wanted to share a couple of ideas that could be used by kids all year long, so you get their worth!
Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Kids & Teens
I don't know how many times I struggles to find actual gifts for the stockings. I'm tired of buying stuff that the kids never use and don't care about! I'm am on a mission to find some things that the kids will actually use, and maybe love!?
Get the whole family matching pajamas! If you let them open the stocking first, they can change and you can do cute family photos for Christmas!
Remember when we used to put stuff in the spokes to make them noisy? This little gadget makes it sound like a motorcycle. What? I haven't heard it myself, but I am interested to try it. My kids are always putting water bottles in their bike spokes, so I think they will love this!
- Sounds like a motorcycle
- Easy to install
- Durable
- One size fits most
Here's some more stuff for those bike spokes! If your kids have a safe place to ride their bike at night, these are super fun!
- Waterproof
- Cool patterns
- 2 Modes
- Easy to install
Okay, we all know what they really want is money! My kiddos love to get on Amazon and buy stuff they want! So a gift card is a great idea to add to stockings!
You can put this whole bag into someone's stocking or if you have multiple girls in your household you could divide them evenly. This is a great cost-effective gift idea!
Kids might not like getting a toothbrush, but some gifts need to be socks, toothbrushes. You know the stuff you actually need!
- Biodegradable
- BPA free
- Recycled Materials
Socks are the perfect size to help fill up some extra space. If you ask me, cute socks are always a welcome gift!
These are so cute! I just love the flannel ones. These socks will be a great addition to boys Christmas stockings.
Are you anything like me? I wash 10 cups or more every day or every other day. Now, everybody can have their own cup! I know it's something that they will love!
- 5 pack
- Silicone lid and straw
- Dishwasher safe
If you're looking for a personalized drinking cup for the kiddos these are great. You can add your kid's name to these cute tumblers. The downside is that you only get one of these for about the same pack as the 5 pack above.
These pocket notebooks are great for kids. They can use them as a journal, or to take notes, or make lists! These are a great size for girls to put in their purses, or boys to put in their pockets.
Stocking Stuffers For Preppers
These prepper supplies are great for men and women preppers alike! There are so many great items that are small enough for Christmas stockings! I found a few great items to include in this list, but I didn’t want to get to crazy since there are so many cool items, so I just did a few!
Stocking Stuffers For Preppers!
There are so many small items that are perfect for survivalist and preppers! I picked out a few good ones that I think people would really like.
This is a great addition to the bug out bag! Every guy will need to know how to sew on a button or mend a tear in fabric. I love that this sewing kit isn't girly like most other sewing kits. It's perfect for the manly survivalists!
- Lightweight
- Manly packaging
- Compact
These come in several different colors including black. The features of this pepper spray are really great. I've included some of them below. This is a great stocking stuffer for men and women!
- Quick Release for easy access
- 10-foot range with up to 25 bursts
- Powerful stream that decreases wind blowback
- UV marking dye aids in identifying suspects
- Free training videos
These playing cards include some helpful tips about survival! I always include playing cards in my bug out bag. Since mental health during difficult times is very important. I also include a Bible for this reason!
Even if you already have some of these it doesn't hurt to buy a couple extra, even just for practicing. I homeschool my kids, and we like to practice survival skills. My oldest son is really good at using the Ferro rod! He's the only one that could start a fire, and he did it within 10 strikes!
A Swiss Army knife is one of the best gifts you can give a man or a woman in my opinion. Everybody needs one of these!
- Compact
- Trusted Quality
- Durable
- Many Functions
This 6-in-1 knife sharpener has a coarse and fine sharpener, a tapered diamond rod for serrations & gut hooks. The diamond rod also has a groove to sharpen fish hooks. In the middle, you can find a Ferro rod. Lastly, there is an emergency whistle.
These are small enough to fit into a stocking and a very important item for the survivalist!
- Made in the USA
- Durable
- Multi-Use
Everyone will love this stainless steel version of the LifeStraw. It's compact, durable, and can be reused!
- Stainless steel design
- Compact
- Durable
- Reuseable - This design comes at a higher price tag, however, unlike the plastic design, you can buy replacement filters and use it again and again.
- No Batteries - The LifeStraw does NOT require any batteries!
