Hi shoppers! At this point in the holiday season, most gifts will not arrive in time for Dec. 24: It all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.
So please enjoy our gift guides, but understand that you may have to simply let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later* than Dec. 25.
Stocking stuffers are just one of many reasons to get excited about the holidays — there's just something magical about seeing those oversized socks stuffed to the brim with tiny, wonderful gifts. Whether you're shopping for stocking stuffers for kids or the entire family, young and old, we've rounded up stocking stuffer ideas that are pretty much guaranteed to be a hit on Christmas morning. Thrilling games, delightful toys, practical tools, and things that are genuinely just silly...we've got 'em all here. Time to start filling that shopping cart, er, I mean sleigh, Santa.
1. A two-pack of TikTok-viral Mini Brands mystery balls they can unwrap to reveal a tiny collectible from one of over 90 popular brands, like Campbell's, Tabasco, Post-It, and more! Kids can create their own mini grocery store during playtime, while adults will delight over having these to display at their desk — or turn them into cute magnets!
There are also rare golden and "frozen moments" minis to find! Each mystery ball has five minis inside.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachelle Yang is obsessed with these: "I've recently been very into DIY, thanks to my TikTok FYP. A video popped up of a creator making magnets out of these Mini Brands — how could I resist? So I caved and bought myself a pack of two Mini Brands, and something about opening packages and not knowing what's inside is so exciting to me. When I opened the first package, my face lit up because they look EXACTLY like the real products, with every single detail in place — for example, the Coke Zero bottle label has all the nutrition facts in teeeny-tiny print, while the Jelly Belly package opens like the real one! After I opened all five, I rushed to buy some magnets and Gorilla Glue, and bada-bing, bada-boom: I now have adorable lil' decorations for my fridge! Now, I just collect them for the sake of collecting them (I can't resist!) and have a whole display of tiny products."

2. Crayola Globbles made for squishing, sticking, slinging, and all things in between — but don't worry, your walls are totally safe, since these don't leave residue behind. They're great for kids of all ages (or even adults who need to release some stress after work).
Check them out on TikTok!
Promising review: "My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES, they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER, they are so easy to rinse off it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped, and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

3. A set of energy-restoring shower steamers — I love this idea because you can split up this pack of 18 by popping a few into each stocking, or really spoil someone by treating them to the whole pack! These fizz up in the shower for some luxurious aromatherapy and make a great alternative to bath bombs for folks who only take showers!
Promising review: "I purchased these for my daughter and daughters-in-law for their stockings. I broke the package up and put them in a ziplock bag (the scents are very strong) and then placed them in a nicer bag for each person's stocking. They were excited. The bath bombs are nice, but most of them rarely get time for a luxurious bath, so these were a great alternative for their shower." —A M B
Get a pack with 18 steamers from Amazon for $21.99 (available in three packs).
4. A pair of funny can coozies for keeping their winter lagers and seasonal IPAs cold (and their hands comfortable) through all the holiday festivities.
Daisy Lane Company Store is a small biz that makes a bunch of great giftable items, from coozies and ornaments to keychains and more.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these, all year long. The color looks white in the picture, but it's actually gray. Not that I care; in fact, I think that's better anyway." —Tori
Get a pack of two from Daisy Lane Company Store on Amazon Handmade for $15.95 (or snag a set of four for $24.99).
5. Kitsch's iconic claw clip if they're always putting their hair up — this will give their 'do some classic elegance with its gold finish and sturdy clamp that can hold even long, thick hair. Plus, the teeth are rounded to prevent damage and discomfort!
See it on TikTok (along with a demo for a cute half-up hairstyle)!
Promising review: "So far so good! I've been using frequently for a couple of weeks now. It's cute, unique-looking, and holds up my thick hair, which is nice. Thinking about buying another as a gift! Would make a great stocking stuffer or a cute gift for a friend or niece." —Lara
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in gold or silver, and packs of two or four).
6. A flying orb for some cosmic fun — they'll feel like a total wizard flinging this out into the area, only to have it zooming right back to them with flashing lights.
Promising reviews: "Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in, and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" —Kerri
"My teenager loved getting this as a stocking stuffer. It's easy to figure out, durable, and won't give anyone a concussion if you get hit with it. It's also visually appealing because of the lights. Would recommend as a gift — but definitely use somewhere you won't knock over your expensive decorations LOL!" —Nick O'Neill
Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in seven colors).
7. A set of LED light saber chopsticks to combine their love of Star Wars with their voracious appetite for sushi.

Get the pack of two pairs from Amazon for $16.97.
8. A retro-inspired planner pad cute enough to keep out on their desk 24/7 and perfect for school, work, or their everyday busy life. This dreamy shop also sells reading logs, sticky notes, washi tape, and all sorts of other small, aesthetic treasures that, honestly, you could fill their whole stocking up with (praying someone does this for me).
Unicorn Eclipse is owned by two sisters who make extremely cute stationery, planners, stickers, decor, and more! Get a closer look at some of their planner notepads on TikTok.
My former colleague Haley Zovickian says, "It would be an understatement to say that I'm obsessed with this shop. I am head over heels entranced with this shop. Their lo-fi, nostalgic style brightens up my workspace so much and really helps encourage me to stay organized – because I love looking at and using their stationery! I also just appreciate the sense of whimsy and fun that their products add to what can otherwise be stressful work days or daunting tasks; the graphics on their planner pads help me stay more positive, and more on top of my work in general. TL;DR: These are a ray of sunshine that any desk worker or organizing buff would be incomplete without."
Get them from Unicorn Eclipse on Etsy: $12 for the Forest Finds planner pad, $6 for the Botanical Bliss reading log, and $5 for the Mountains sticky notes. See their store page for more adorable designs!
9. A mini winter wonderland–themed Magna-Tiles set for the little builder who loves to fiddle with blocks and tiles — this official set comes in a convenient metal tin, so it's great for taking on trips and whipping out when they could use a moment of creative distraction.
It's recommended for ages 3+ and comes with 26 magnetic tiles.
Promising review: "We love the Magna-Tiles minis! They’re the same high quality as the originals but smaller and easier to take anywhere. Perfect for imaginative play, building creativity, and keeping little ones entertained without screens. A great gift or stocking stuffer!" —Allyson schnoor
Get the set from Amazon for $19.97 (available in two options).
10. A pair of trendy heart sunnies if their personality is anything but boring — these statement shades are as bold as their spirit.
Promising review: "I bought these for a vacation and I LOVE THEM!! I saw them on a TikTok and knew I needed them. They aren’t tight in my face, seem sturdy, and are super cute. I’m excited to wear these by a pool with a big floppy hat! The price was definitely right and they look just like the YSLs!" —Jessica Elliott
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 13 styles and in a few two-packs).
11. A s'mores ChapStick collection — the classic stocking stuffer with a sweet, bonfire-themed twist! What's better than having hydrated lips that smell a bit like toasted marshmallow?
Each set comes with three flavors: a Milk Chocolate, a Marshmallow, and a Graham Cracker flavor.
Promising review: "My mom and I are ChapStick fans, so I bought us each a pack of these. The marshmallow is clear, the chocolate is brown, and the graham cracker is tan. The color isn’t too extreme, but it will leave a little bit of tint on your lips. The flavors are DELICIOUS. Graham cracker reminds me of Golden Grahams cereal and chocolate is just perfect. I love the marshmallow best because it tastes slightly toasted." —Elle Ardee
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
12. A set of two endlessly useful multitools packed with all sorts of on-the-go functionality and perfect for the handy person or DIY-er on your list who "has everything" (spoiler: they don't have this). Each pen is made with heavy-duty aluminum, and between the two, they'll get (*takes breath*) a flathead and Phillips screwdriver, a ruler, a bubble level, a touchscreen stylus, a bottle opener, an LED light, and — of course — a retractable pen for writing stuff.
It's important to note that this is a *set* of pens with different functions, so don't plan on splitting them up between different stockings. Each pen comes with ink installed plus an additional ink refill.
Promising reviews: "Bought for a stocking stuffer. My daughter-in-law is a house appraiser and loved this. It has many functions that she can use without having to bring a large tool with her. She was very happy with it." —Kindle Customer
"A great gadget gift for the handyman or handywoman! This tiny tool fits in a pocket, tool kit, car, purse, etc. It is great to have so many accessories accessible in one small tool. The hammer is perfect when you are hanging nails on the wall; the locking mechanism is great to make sure that children can’t access any of the tools. It’s heavy-duty but not heavy. Very easy to use, and it's been a lifesaver during the holidays and birthdays with kids' toys." —Courtney Schendel
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.98.
13. A pair of plaid touchscreen gloves worth ~stuffing their stocking~ with because of how delightfully cozy and stylish they are, as well as practical — your loved one will be able to scroll TikTok, navigate Spotify, and answer texts without exposing their hands to the bitter cold.
Top It Off is a woman-owned accessories business with a mission to women everywhere the perfect mix of style, quality, and price.
Promising review: "I was checking out the list of Oprah’s Favorite Things in hopes of finding a reasonably priced gift for my sister. Bingo!!! These are so pretty. The colors (deep pink and complementary jewel tones) are gorgeous, and the inside of the gloves is smooth and not scratchy. She was so happy when she opened the gift bag. Temperatures don’t get much below 30 where she lives, so these will keep her hands warm on fashionable outings." —S Lindsey
Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight colors)
14. A calming pillow spray from Asutra (which is part-owned by Venus Williams!) with a blend of lavender and chamomile essential oils, perfect for spraying on their pillows before bed — this light, clean mist will help them wind down and create a peaceful, spa-like mood. (Some reviewers say it's so soothing, it even helps them fall asleep!)
Promising reviews: "Bought this for a stocking stuffer...but liked it so much I decided to keep it for myself. I mist this on my pillow before going to bed. I've used aromatherapy mists before...but they were often too strong and artificial smelling. This one is very pleasant." —Barb W.
"I think this spray might be helping me sleep better, but I'm not positive. What I am sure of is that it smells fantastic! It makes my bedroom feel cozier and more inviting (which can be hard for some of us who learn to hate our beds when we can't sleep). So, I think it contributes to my ability to sleep just by making my bed more inviting." —Wiwse
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in multiple scents and variety packs).
15. Plus, some individually wrapped 24-karat gold collagen under-eye gels for the busy parent or student who is just dang EXHAUSTED. This'll give their tired under-eyes some much-needed pampering and help reduce dark circles and puffiness, and they'll feel totally refreshed afterward!
I have these myself and personally love them! If I've had a particularly exhausting few days, I love to pop on these bad boys and let my undereyes drink in the hydration. The cooling sensation feels incredible, and I look and feel so much more refreshed after (and less like a zombie). And you get 20 pairs in one pack, which feels like a great deal!
Promising review: "This is really an amazing product, for such a good price too. These feel so refreshing under my eyes. It’s really relaxing having them on and just letting them do their magic! I don’t have so much of the puffy eyes but I have been noticing slight dark circles lately. Just after using this one time, I can really see a difference under my eyes and these left my under eyes so soft!" —Kayleena
Get 20 pairs from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in three other sets).
16. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit that comes with everything they need to paint ~happy little trees~ without the commitment of a full-scale painting project. We're talking three pre-printed canvases, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and a mini easel (!!) to display their work of art when they're done.
The kit's three paint-by-number canvases include two landscapes and one portrait of Bob. They'll also get an instruction sheet and a mini book all about Bob!
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m
Get it from Amazon for $6.51.
17. A six-pack of Playfoam Pals for your kiddos who love slime — it's time to introduce them to ~sensory foam~ that feels just as satisfying to squish, pull, and shape to their heart's content. Bonus: There's a cute lil' pet hiding for them inside!
Promising reviews: "These are amazing for creative sensory play! I love that the foam is non-toxic and that it doesn't stick to everything. My kids have left it out numerous times and it never, ever dries out. And the little pet pals are just the cutest. The kids were so excited to see which ones they got and literally spent hours playing with them and the foam. These would be perfect for stocking stuffers!" —NYMommy
"Great stocking stuffers. Bought these as gifts for my daycare kids for Christmas. They were a huge hit! Kids loved the foam inside and were pleasantly surprised to find the animal deep within." —K. Stuewer
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $15.99.
18. A merry stack of Christmas-themed bracelets that'll be the festive counterpart to their everyday friendship bracelets. (*cue "Christmas Tree Farm" by Taylor Swift*)
Promising review: "These friendship bracelets are great for the price! They are well-made and very cute. Have arthritis in a few knuckles, so making my own bracelets is a little painful. Grateful I was able to purchase these already made. They’re super lightweight. I’m actually going to put ornament hooks on them for a little Taylor Swift Christmas tree and then reuse them as bracelets. Highly recommend." —Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in two styles).
19. A bestselling Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes musical toy for the toddler who lights up at the sound of music — this'll be a total dream with its twirling lights and recreation of classical melodies from Chopin, Mozart, and more.
Promising review: "What a winner. I bought Baby Einstein as a stocking stuffer for our new grandson. It was a great choice; the bright colors, music selections, and quality sound get and hold his attention. I think he'll enjoy this for a long time. Happy Grandma." —Happy Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $9.96.
20. A desktop inflatable arm flailing tube man that'll wave and wiggle just like the real thing — who said you can't buy a smile?
This little dancing dude is 17 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I'd have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner
Get it from Amazon for $11.66.
21. Silicone joystick caps for Nintendo Switch owners who love an ~aesthetic~. They're a great way of customizing your Switch with very little effort, and they add a little extra grip and height while playing as well!
Since the set comes with two pairs, they could apply one pair to their main Joy-Cons and the other pair to their backup controller/Joy-Cons. Some reviewers did note these don't fit the first-party Switch Pro Controller that well.
These are designed for the original Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED. If they have the new Switch 2, here are some cute paw print thumb grips!
Promising review: "These joystick knob covers are so cute! I play Disney Dreamlight Valley on my Switch, and I thought these would be so cute to have when I play!! It was easy to put on, but I won’t lie that it took some maneuvering. If you have long nails or maybe tweezers to help wrap the bottom around, you should be good!" —Fantabulous Gabby
Get two pairs (four pieces total) from Amazon for $7.21+ (available in 11 sets).
22. A drain cover to make their self-care baths even more luxurious. It'll add several more inches of water *and* prevent that annoying sound of their precious hot water (and expensive oils and bath salts) trickling down the drain as they try to relax.
It doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to safely drain.
Promising review: "Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a four-foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal), so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times, and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain. Buy it, hands-down a peace preserver." —M. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (available in nine colors).
23. A rechargeable LED clip-on phone light for the teen or, frankly, *anyone* who's always snapping selfies, hopping on FaceTime, or filming TikToks — and could use some help in the lighting department. Because it's square, it won't show that annoying ring light reflection in their eyes, and it has 10 brightness levels and three levels of warmth so they can customize the exposure exactly to their liking.
Promising review: "This selfie light is amazing, 10/10! The lighting it provides is perfect, with different brightness levels and tones to suit any situation. Whether you’re taking photos, video calling, or recording content, this light significantly enhances image quality. I ordered it and my bestie loved it, so we ordered another one. Absolutely love it." —sof
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
24. A book of 642 tiny things to draw that's the ideal size for taking on the go, with random prompts to help spark their imagination — great for artists who deal with creative block or anyone who's always doodling.
This book is only 5.4 inches tall, so it'll easily fit in a stocking — many reviewers on Amazon said they purchased as a stocking stuffer!
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jonathan Mazzei says, "My girlfriend got me this book as a gift a few years ago, and it turned out to be even better than I expected! The prompts are super fun, and help you to think outside of the box even during those moments when you feel like you have no ideas. It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects. My girlfriend is a visual artist and graphic designer, and she loves using it to play around with ideas and make her think of things she never would have thought of without it. Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!"
Rachelle is also a huge fan: "I've made a lot of unnecessary purchases in my life, but this is one of the best ones — I use it so much, it's starting to feel like a necessary purchase. Let me preface this by saying that I did not draw that pic above; I can't take credit for it. Whenever I have my friends over, I hand them this book and let them draw something in it (hence the amazing drawing of the house in space), and everyone loves it, even if they don't have a single artistic bone in their body. I spend so much time drawing silly little pictures that my screen time has actually gone down. It's so entertaining, and it truly amazes me how much joy can come from a book that's the size of my hand. "
Get it from Amazon for $9.27.
25. A pair of custom socks if their dog or cat is their whole life — now even their socks will make them think of their beloved furball.
To order, you just pick the color of the socks you want, hit "Personalize," and upload a high res photo of their pet to be used on the socks — they'll handle everything else from there! It usually ships within 2–3 days.
Promising review: "These socks were so cute and were perfect for my daughter! They were a Christmas stocking stuffer and they made her cry because they were so cute and the face of her little Dachshund was on the socks. They were made so well and just adorable! Highly recommend!" —Mugsy J
Get them in a dog pattern or cat pattern from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in dozens of colors).
26. A pair of rainbow drip candles for your favorite candle hoarder — they might have all of this year's new Bath & Body Works releases already, but they probably don't have these cool candlesticks that turn into works of art as they burn and slowly drip colorful wax down the side.
Many reviewers mention using these to recreate Italian restaurant–style decor using Chianti bottles!
Promising reviews: "These have to be the coolest things I have ever purchased. I have them in an empty wine bottle. I will be buying many more to cover the entire bottle in wax." —Bre
"I purchased this for my brother-in-law as a stocking stuffer. He was astounded that I found this for him. He was very pleased." —Kindle Customer
"Sometimes we just want great Italian food on a red-checked tablecloth with a Chianti bottle covered in multi-colored wax! And these candles achieve that ambience. They are a tad messy (see how they melt!) so we suggest a plate beneath the holder. But they look amazing as they melt!" —Douglas E Terry
Get a pair from Amazon for $6.80.
27. And an electric lighter to ~fuel~ their candle obsession even further. This is long enough that they won't have to risk burning their fingers every time they light a candle, and they can stop buying disposable lighters, too, since this recharges via USB-C!
Promising review: "I’m not sure about battery life because it’s rechargeable. My daughter has one, it’s been over a year and she’s never charged hers. I will NEVER go back to the traditional, long flame lighters. This thing is AMAZING! It’s worth the money. I burn candles every day. This will be an awesome gift for any candle-loving person. Very easy to use." —JMR
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).
28. FaceTory sheet masks if they're *all* about skincare and love trying out new products. These have all sorts of great ingredients to rejuvenate, hydrate, and soothe their skin, *and* they come in ridiculously cute packaging.
Promising review: "This is a holy grail sheet mask. It's got key ingredients to repair and calm skin (centella asiatica and aloe) and keep blemishes at bay (niacinamide, willow bark, ferment extract) while being gentle and ultra-moisturizing. I love to wash up, and hop in bed or the tub with one of these on for up to 30 minutes. Then peel off and pat the serum in, maybe even pat in another treatment, and wake up to plump, hydrated, glowy skin! Tightens pores and makes makeup go on like a dream. These are SOAKED with serum (enough leftover to apply two to three more times). Love, Love, Love." —LVS
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $9.95 (available in 10 styles and also a 10-pack).
29. A value pack of 500+ reusable puffy stickers that are pure, sensory joy. They're fun to look at and squish, and (most importantly for you) they remove easily without leaving behind residue.
The stickers feature letters, numbers, vehicles, butterflies, deep-sea life, animals, fish, dinosaurs, and more.
Promising reviews: "I love that they are removable. They don’t leave marks on your window. You can even place them back on the plastic sheet and use them again. I have a busy box for my toddler and these stickers are in there. She peels them off and puts them on the lid of the box and then peels them off again and puts them back. She creates scenes with them. She puts them on windows at home. I peel them off and put them back. They really are fantastic stickers." —Elizabeth A. Zapf
"What a great stocking stuffer for our 22-month-old. Easy for her to peel off herself. Adheres well to regular paper but also moveable if she sticks them together. An older child could make scenes and add/color around the stickers. Highly recommend!" —Ryan L Mortland
Get a pack of 20 sheets from Amazon for $5.99.
30. A keychain shaped like a classic Ikea bag for the person whose idea of a good time is browsing the new arrivals at Ikea and wandering the maze, picturing what every bookshelf, rug, and sofa might look like inside their own home. It's a valid hobby, OK!
It measures 4.25 inches wide and 3.25 inches tall — just big enough for stashing earbuds, keys, credit cards, bobby pins, spare change, and other small items!
Promising review: "The ladies of my family love Ikea bags. There is something about the durability of these bags while also not feeling guilty about throwing them haphazardly into a closet. Bought these and sent them as a joke after the holidays and everyone loved them! Can hold gift cards or change." —Jennifer Armstrong
Get it from Amazon for $4.50.
31. Lil' sprout bookmarks that'll help them mark their place when they're in the middle of reading like six books at once. Anyone who's against dog-earing pages (or loves plants) will appreciate these.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these bookmarks! Even though they are pretty small, they stay in the book, either opened or closed. They are really soft and rubbery, so they won't crack or break very easily. I can foresee these lasting for a long time. Since they come in a package of six, I can not only have one for my book for reading, but I can place these in the pertinent chapters that I am studying in my textbooks as well. They really come in handy for that! These cute, little sprouts were a great treat for the little that I spent on them!" —Aimée le Huitième
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.45.
32. A vampire garlic crusher (aka "Gracula") to make cooking with garlic easier *and* more fun. In just a few seconds, they'll have freshly minced or chopped garlic for their meal and, of course, for keeping the bloodsuckers away.
This garlic crusher is BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Just twist this, and you can chop or mince garlic, nuts, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "This is a lifesaver! It saves so much time when using garlic in a recipe! Super easy to use and dishwasher safe! Plus extremely adorable." —kaila
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
33. A 28-piece pack of barrettes that'll dazzle them. These look so pretty, people will assume they came from an expensive boutique! And the range of colors and designs will give them options for basically any outfit.
Promising reviews: "These were so cute and a large size. I originally bought for stocking stuffers and could hardly bring myself to part with any of them. They're freaking adorable." —Maryanne
"There is not one piece in this collection that I don't love. I was impressed with the variety of pearls/stones/and the gold-designed pins, as well as the fact that some are the snap barrette style, some alligator clips, and some more along the lines of decorative bobby pins. I'm 41 years old and very picky about not wearing anything that looks like it's made for someone much younger, and these are a perfect fit for my tastes. They are not only gorgeous but very functional as well. They hold a good amount of hair back or pinned up, and they feel secure in my hair the entire day. I'm thinking this would make for great Christmas gifts!" —Malinda
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
34. A jar of Momofuku's famously delicious chili crunch if they like a little extra kick on...pretty much anything. It's made with three types of Mexican chilis, crunchy garlics, and shallots to add both heat and texture.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell says, "I put this stuff on everything! It just makes food taste better. I highly recommend to any fellow spicy lovers looking for the perfect topping. This chili oil comes with seasoned salts, Mexican chilis, dried garlic, and shallots."
Get the hot honey flavor from Amazon for $10.09 (also available in black truffle, extra spicy, and the original flavor).
35. A set of three individually wrapped bath bombs in the shape of a smiling cloud, but with a colorful twist — when they pop one of these into their bath, it'll release foaming bubbles in the shape of a rainbow. ️🌈 It'll be perfect for their self-care evenings (not to mention a cute Insta story).
This is perfect for kids *or* bath bomb–loving adults!
Promising review: "I got these stocking stuffers for my grandsons for Christmas. They absolutely love them, and it makes taking a bath a fun experience for them. The fact that they moisturize their skin while being entertaining is an added bonus. These made such a good gift I’m going to pick up some for myself also." —Mary B Huntington
Get the set of three from Amazon for $19.99.
36. Crocodile tongs made of solid cherry wood for the practical-minded (but somewhat impatient) chef who NEEDS to stop burning their fingers pulling dishes out of the oven or hot bread straight from the toaster. This clever tool will be their heat-proof extra hand in the kitchen.
Jonathan Alden is a small batch design company based in Portland, Maine.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these gator tongs. Everything about this product is amazing…from the packaging to the craftsmanship!" —Zynala

37. A very cool set of lip tints that'll coat their lips with a soft, natural-looking shade of pink while moisturizing with cocoa butter, beeswax, and essential oils. Bonus: There's a cute flower inside!
Promising reviews: "These lipsticks are so cute, so magical. The color that mine settles on my lips is subtle and not very dramatic. It almost gives me the feeling of wearing lip balm, which is my go-to for all things lips, so this was perfect!" —Daisy L. Alvarez
"I am so happy with these lipsticks! I got the ones in black containers. Each one comes individually boxed and wrapped, so you could give them as gifts (would be cute stocking stuffers at Christmas!). The lipstick looks clear, until you put it on, then it gradually changes on your lips. The color is very soft, not harsh. I love it! Extremely moist and nourishing, not drying like many lipsticks." —Lynnzee B
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.98 (available in pink or black).
38. A teeny-tiny board game for the tabletop connoisseur — they might own every board game known to man, but do they have a miniature copy of Scrabble? I think not.
The store page includes all sorts of stocking stuffer–worthy miniatures, from tabletop classics like Monopoly, Clue, Mouse Trap, and Battleship to tiny electronics like a mini arcade Tetris and Atari 2600 (which would be perfect for any retro gamers).
Promising review (for Monopoly): "This is, hands down, the coolest Monopoly game ever made! It has every piece and detail that the full-size version has and the quality exceeds my expectations. 😊 Can't wait to play it!" —Drea
Get them from Amazon: Clue for $8.91, Mouse Trap for $8.35, and lots more options on their store page!
39. A magnetic shape-shifting puzzle cube that'll really get their mind working as they manipulate it into over 70 different shapes, with mesmerizing colors and patterns to reveal. It's like origami with a major sensory upgrade.
You can also collect all 12 puzzle box designs to connect several magnetic cubes to build even larger structures and sculptures.
Promising review: "Fun for older teens. I bought one each for my 16- and 19-year-old son and daughter for Christmas. It made a great stocking stuffer. It was very intriguing and they enjoyed linking them together for new shapes. The boxes were sturdy enough for teens to manipulate without breaking and the magnets are strong. Not sure if younger hands would be too rough. If forced to move in the wrong direction they could break. The designs were beautiful. I plan to buy a few more for a bigger variety of shapes!" —Shellbug99
Get it from Amazon for $19.59 (available in 18 designs).
40. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game for the silliest possible game of hide-and-seek ever, starring this rainbow-colored "poo" that'll give them loud hints (sometimes in the form of fart noises) until it's discovered — at which point it'll play music so they can have a celebratory dance! For kiddos who enjoy toilet humor, it doesn't get much better.
It uses AA batteries and comes with two to get you started.
Promising review: "This game is HILARIOUS. My kids love playing with it and taking turns hiding it. (8, 6, and 3 years). They all think poop is funny and run around yelling 'Silly Poopy where are you?' It keeps them busy for at least half an hour at a time and they leave me alone. Also? It's pretty durable. I found it outside in my garden in the 20-degree winter weather. I guess my 8-year-old left it out there for a few days. It also gets thrown down the stairs and Silly Poopy just keeps on giggling and having fun." —Adele
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
41. And a bag of Reindeer Farts Cotton Candy, because this classic treat is even more fun when we can joke about reindeers leaving smelly presents in people's stockings.
42. A two-pack of Bachan's beloved BBQ sauce to gift them a whole new world of flavor. They'll want to use it as a dipping sauce or marinade for all of their favorite foods — you might just win Christmas with this one.
Bachan's is a Japanese-owned small business founded by Justin Gill. The sauce is inspired by his grandmother, Judy Yokoyama's recipe. Resisting advice to cut costs and dilute this beloved sauce, Gill prioritized maintaining its integrity and only used clean ingredients. Their sauce is cold-filled, vegan, small-batch, non-GMO, BPA-free, and preservative-free.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell says, "I've tried this sauce and immediately made everyone I know try it as well. It's the kind of sauce that makes you go "oh...wow, oh WOW" when you taste it."
Promising review: "My husband is a big home chef. He loves to cook and come up with unique flavors in the kitchen. We have an absolutely stocked sauce cabinet; we definitely did not need one — let alone two — new sauces. I got these for him for Christmas and they are probably his two favorite things to add more flavor into every day cooking. So happy with this purchase. It’s such a unique flavor that is so hard to describe, but absolutely worth it in every category!" —Mallory Allison Palmer
Get a two-pack with the Original + Hot and Spicy flavors from Amazon for $23.98 (also available in seven other flavor combos).
43. A squishy pufferfish stress-relief toy that, quite simply, could be for anyone on your list, because whether you're 8 years old or an octogenarian, sometimes you just need a way to release your pent-up stress — and this cute lil' blobber fish is ready to be squeezed and prodded endlessly (don't let his grumpy face fool you; he just takes his job seriously).
Moontale Store is a small business based in Canada that sells delightful squishy toys.
Promising review: "My daughter was BEYOND excited when she opened the cutest, ribbon-tied box I’ve ever seen! These squishies are absolutely AMAZING! Everything about my order was awesome and made my daughter’s day! Buy from this store because it’s everything it looks like in the pictures AND MORE!" —Stefanie Powell
Get it from Moontale Store on Etsy for $19.08+ (originally $23.85+; available in two colors or as a set of two).
44. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, an easy-to-learn and ridiculously fun card game that'll become the new favorite on family game nights.
It's recommended for ages 8 and up! Here's how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini-deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!
Psst — There's a holiday version of this game too: Santa Cookie Elf Candy Snowman.
Promising review: "Oh my…super fun game. Laughter all around. Gave to my son as a little extra something in Christmas stocking, he’s 18. I could tell he was thinking, what is this? But when we played as a family over the holiday, we had so much fun and laughed a lot, great memories will be shared over this game for a long long time!! Later, same day after playing, he told me he thought it wasn’t going to be fun at all but now it was the best stocking stuffer ever ;-). He and college roommates have the best time with this game. My oldest daughter has since purchased the game as well. Great fun! Buy it!" —Horse Girl
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
45. A roll-on migraine stick for your headache-prone family member, since it'll help relieve the painful pressure caused by those annoying mid-day headaches. It's formulated with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to deliver cooling relief that'll give them the will to keep going.
They just roll this stick on the back on their neck, forehead, and temples for some relief from the most annoying head pain. And don't worry about residue; the stick rolls on clear and won't leave a greasy shine.
Promising review: "This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines usually once or twice a week. This product I put on each temple, under my nose and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

46. A bug bite suction tool if mosquitos and other flying bugs always seem to make a full meal out of your loved one (it just means they're sweet, after all)! It'll bring them relief from bites by actually suctioning out the venom, saliva, and other irritants causing the itchy reaction on their skin.
The suction can be pretty strong, so use caution and try a small amount of suction first and work your way up if necessary.
Promising review: "Oh. My. Goodness!! Where has this been all my life? I have always been a bug magnet — I can be in a group of people, and I’m the only one getting bitten. This morning, I went to a plant nursery and forgot to put on bug spray. On the 10-minute drive home, I could feel the welts rising on my calves from all the mosquito bites. The first thing I did when I got home was open my brand new Bug Bite Thing and get to work. By the time I finished treating my eight mosquito bites, the itchiness had reduced from distressingly distracting to a relatively minor irritation. Now, an hour later, I am completely itch-free!! I’ve not only found my saving grace, but everyone’s stocking stuffer this year. The product sounds too good to be true, but the relief is *real*!" —Philip J. Priest
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors and multipacks).
47. A set of macaron containers they can stash jewelry, pills, or other small items in for extremely cute and delicious-looking storage. Seriously, these are too cute to even exist.
Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling with solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts because I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off." —Mary
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.99.
48. A pair of ceiling fan charms if they're always mixing up which string turns on the light and which one turns on the fan, or they're a little *ahem* vertically challenged.
They come in two lengths: a shorter size with a 12-inch chain, and a longer size with a 24-inch chain.
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark.) They're much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor." —LHD
Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
49. A Peripera velvety lip tint that'll give their pout a smooth, ultra-pigmented stain with a silky finish. It also has a lightweight feel that's not sticky or clumpy!
This is another one of those holy grail products I'll keep buying for as long as they make it. It goes on so velvety soft and genuinely lasts all day — though I do like to reapply as needed for maximum intensity, the color holds up well against eating and drinking. If you're not sure which shade they might like, I humbly suggest the Rosy Nude shade, which is one of my go-tos for a natural, everyday lip shade that won't overpower the whole makeup look. But if they like a bolder lip, you can't go wrong with any of the gorgeous red shades!
Promising review: "Very pretty color. Lasts a long time, doesn't smudge when dry, and when I think I need to reapply, I can just put a new coat over it and looks good as new. Love it!" —Shawn
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 31 shades).
50. A pair of cactus dryer balls that make one of everybody's least favorite chores a little better, because they'll have these cute lil' guys smiling up at them (and aerating their laundry as it dries).
Promising review: "Love these little guys! I don’t use them with delicate items, but for most everything else they work so well to fluff up clothes and ensure that everything gets dry (especially when you tend to overload your dryer like me). Such a fun, cute design too! I can’t help but smile when I toss them in the dryer. I kept one and gave the other to my daughter, who also loves them. Great Christmas stocking stuffer!" —janetjw
Get two from Amazon for $12.50.
51. A pack of mindfulness cards if they're the introspective type — it has 50+ bite-sized prompts and exercises for both the mind and body, divided into four categories: Rest and Balance, Insight and Awareness, Curiosity and Joy, and Kindness.
It comes in a cute little box with the 50 cards!
Promising reviews: "These. are. adorable. I love this product! I got them for my bedside table to read daily with my husband. We take time each day to read the card of the day and practice that for a day or two!!! There are tons of cards, and some to design your own. I love the concept and feel as though I always pick the ones I need to hear. I love them as a decoration, super cute colors, and I love them for the content itself.. They are nice cards, and the box is sturdy...and the shipping was fast and came packaged well!" —Megan Knight
"I gave these as stocking stuffers to my mom and sister-in-law. They thought they were great and really fun and unique." —Liz Delorme
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $15.35.
52. A Stitch sticker for placing on a car window so everyone's favorite blue science experiment can ride around with them waving at other vehicles.
Promising reviews: "Perfect size. Super cute on my daughter-in-law's truck. Great Christmas stocking stuffer." —Jennifer Martinez
"I absolutely love this sticker!!❤️ I put it on my back driver side window and it’s sooooo cute! Looks like Stitch is sittin' in the back seat waving!!! 💙" —Lauren Willoughby
Get it from Amazon for $2.99.
53. Sushi Go, an adorable and easy-to-learn card game that's great for all ages. The goal is simple: Rack up the points by building sushi combos (each card has its own point value and rules) so you have the highest-scoring feast by the end!
It's designed for two to five players, ages 8 and up, and each round takes about 15 minutes!
I personally own this game and absolutely love it. The more players the better, but it's super fun with just two people as well. I love taking it to the park with my boyfriend for a few casual rounds!
Promising review: "I bought this game originally to play with third and fourth graders. Instead though, I played with my adult son and his wife. It was a quick-paced game that involved a variety of strategies and a little luck. I have played many box games, and this is pleasantly different and enjoyable. Definitely a great game for families that like to play games. Seems best played with three or four people. Anyway, all people involved have played it, really liked it. Players ages from 35–72!" —Anthony L. Cinquino
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
54. A tiny light-up marquee so they can display a motivating message for themselves — or something cheeky for their roommates or coworkers.
Promising review: "I'm such a sucker for marquee signage. I decorate with them, use them in my photography projects, give them as gifts, etc. So naturally when I saw an 'Itty Bitty Marquee' I was sold. I love it. It is totally adorable, comes with way more letters, numbers, punctuation, and emojis than you could ever use AND it is perfectly giftable. Also way affordable." —Brandi
Get it from Amazon for $12.04.
55. A scratch paper art set — a cross-generational fave that'll delight your little one just as much as it did you in elementary school. The joy of seeing vibrant rainbow appear as you scratch away at your artwork simply never gets old.
56. A screaming goat figurine that's hilarious, but also kinda therapeutic? Now when you ask them how work or school was after a particularly long, exhausting day, they can just press this button and let the goat speak for them: "AAAAHHHHH!!!!"
It also comes with a 32-page illustrated booklet all about goats. Not gonna lie, you're probably going to regret this purchase after listening to a few hundred bleats 😂.
Promising review: "This little piece of screaming plastic has created an excellent outlet for resolving frustrations in our home. Every time a conflict or struggle arises, we push the little goat, get a gratifying screech, chuckle, and move on throughout our day. No regrets on purchasing this. When you get one, get four or five because you're going to want to share with family and friends." —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $7.96.
57. A pack of zombie plant seeds for your favorite plant enthusiast *or* lover of all things macabre (even better if both of those apply). This leafy indoor plant has a clever trick once it's grown: When you touch it, it'll wilt and "play dead" for a few minutes — and then it'll come right back to life like it's on an episode of The Walking Dead.
58. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey worthy of being a staple in their kitchen, because pretty much every meal could benefit from a little sweet-spicy kick. You've just given their sad WFH grilled cheese a major upgrade.
Promising review: "I was a skeptic, but now I AM a believer. This mixed-up honey is absolutely fabulous. I ordered three bottles more after my initial order. Why? Because it is really good on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Soft pretzels, toast, biscuits, waffles, cereal, yogurt, ice cream, and definitely pizza. Gives everything in your kitchen a small kick of sweet heat flavor without burning your mouth. I have told many of my friends about this magical elixir and they all agree — this is the BEST specialty honey any of us have ever had. Don’t hesitate to buy it. It is absolutely wonderful stuff. I most HIGHLY recommend it!" —Jeff R. Clow

59. The Wand, a mini handheld filter that can help them enjoy wine again if they're prone to headaches, congestion, and horrible hangovers every time they try to have a drink of merlot. This handy gadget aerates the wine to remove histamines and sulfites — just in time for them to enjoy a glass on Christmas Day.
Just note these aren't reusable!
Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." —Penny Froh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.
60. Plus, an attachable aerator to bring out all the aromas and nuances of their evening glass of wine. Finally, they'll taste all those flavors described on the label (whether it's a $10 bottle or something fancier).
This attachable aerator deposits oxygen into your wine, which improves taste and allows aromas to EXPAND.
Promising review: "I bought this for my Dad, who really likes his wine. He didn't think it would do much to the taste of the wine, so I had him try some cheapish wine without this aerator and then had him try it with the aerator, and the taste was like night and day. He's tried it on some of his better wine, and while it does change the taste a little, it wasn't as drastic as the improvement on the cheaper wine." —Jason
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors).
61. A spinning fidget ring if they're always fiddling with their rings or random items around them — it spins smoothly, wears comfortably, and holds up well against everyday wear and tear.
Promising review: "For more than a decade, I have been using some sort of fidget item or spinner ring to help with my severe anxiety. I have had dozens of spinner rings over the years, and I must say this Rose Gold Pauro ring is one of the best. The spinner spins wonderfully and does not stick at all like many spinner rings. It is also absolutely gorgeous and fits perfectly! I also rarely take my ring off for hand washing, and the water does not affect the ring at all. I would definitely recommend this ring!" —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in sizes 4–13, three widths, different colors, and a three-pack).
62. A four-pack of Bluey and family figures that'll put a big smile on your little Bluey fanatic's face. The figures' arms, legs, and tails are movable, so they can really act out their own "episodes" of the show with them!
Promising reviews: "My almost 3-year-old is obsessed with Bluey, and I kinda am too! It's an adorable show and actually humorous, so I don't mind him wanting to watch it all day, every day. So when I saw these figures available, I had to snatch them up for him! I gave them to him for Easter, and he hasn't put them down since! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Great quality, great price, and fast shipping!" —Amanda Eboli
"Our grandson loves Bluey! We were thrilled to find these character toys both in stock and shipped in advance of Christmas. This stocking stuffer was his favorite gift." —BK
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.88.
63. Some Death Wish instant coffee packets for anyone who doesn't feel like a fully functioning human until they have their coffee. Each packet contains 300 mg of caffeine, so they're guaranteed to get that extra ~kick~ to get them moving.
Note: The Mayo Clinic says: "Up to 400 milligrams of caffeine appears to be safe for most healthy adults," but as always they should check with their doctor about what's right for them.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly is a fan of this brand: "I've tried basically all their flavors and love them. As someone who drinks a lot of coffee, I find it def adequate caffeine-wise!"
Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99.
64. Cat Tarot, a deck of 78 tarot cards with a feline twist and beautiful watercolor portraits to match.
The set also includes a guidebook on how to get the most out of the cat's wisdom.
Promising review: "These cards are great! As someone who owns more than a couple of tarot decks, the cardstock on these is superb for the price. This deck is friendly and has a very aesthetically pleasing color palette — even some of the darker cards of the deck are rather lighthearted. The images themselves are fantastic, cute, colorful, without overdoing it, and not too gimmicky. If you like tarot and you also happen to like cats, get this deck!" —A. Asher
Get it from Amazon for $18.55.
65. A set of glow-in-the-dark kodama — Studio Ghibli fans will instantly recognize these adorable tree spirits, which will make perfect little guardians for their houseplants (it's what they do best!) or desk buddies. And it'll be so enchanting to walk through their house at night and see their magical glow.
One reviewer put these in their fish tank, too!
Promising review: "The cutest whimsical kodama. Apologies for the photo dump…but the need is REAL to show just how cute are these tree spirits. I was a bit worried reading other reviews about broken parts. So I ordered the set of 20 just to be safe. All were intact. The packaging was superb, as shown in the photos. So now I can gift these little guys whenever I want to gift a plant to my nature-loving friends. I would highly recommend if you’re a plant lover. It’s only been a few hours, but I noticed, they do glow in the dark." —nanccan
Get a set from Amazon for $11.98 (comes with 10 green and 10 blue kodama, plus eight mushrooms; also available in other sets).
66. Glossier Cloud Paint that'll give them a natural, sun-kissed glow without feeling heavy — this lightweight formula is buildable so they can achieve a soft flush or a stronger ~pop~ of color.
I *adore* Cloud Paint and have been using this stuff for years. It's a great pick for both longtime makeup wearers and people new to makeup (or who keep a pretty minimal routine), since it has such a natural look to it and can be as bold or subtle as you like. It goes great with a tinted moisturizer or on its own and truly gives you that "sun-kissed" look. It comes in eight gorgeous shades and looks stunning on all skin tones! Throw a tube of this into their stocking, and you might just be introducing them to their new fave beauty product.
Get it from Glossier or Sephora for $24 (available in 11 blush shades and five bronzer shades).
Glossier offers expedited and rush shipping options (as fast as 1–2 days) for an additional fee. For Sephora, the last day to order and receive by Christmas is Dec. 22; expedited shipping options are also available.
67. A tea infuser in the shape of an adorable pool floatie that'll have them dreaming of warm days by the pool (even if it's currently gloomy and cold outside).
68. A set of black foil-playing cards so they can retire that old, beer-stained set of playing cards and introduce this sleek black set at their next poker night. (Oh, and reviewers say these make it harder for folks to cheat too, which is another plus — unless you're the one sneaking peeks.)
Promising review: "My husband and I have friends over occasionally to play cards at our house. So upon looking for some new cards I saw these, and I had to get them. They are so sleek and unlike any deck I've ever seen. Also, they are plastic cards! Even the case is plastic! I was surprised but happy about it. Plastic is much more durable than paper and will last longer. The holographic designs on the cards are beautiful. The back of the cards almost looks like a rainbow when the light hits them a certain way, and so does the card packaging. The front of the cards are just beyond cool. These far exceeded my expectations." —MesEHair
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six styles).
69. A pair of dove ornaments that'll make their annual rewatch of Home Alone 2 even more special.
John Perry Studio is a small biz available on Amazon Handmade with a gorgeous collection of animal sculptures and more.
Promising review: "Love, love, love these birds! They are so delicate and absolutely beautiful! When hung on the tree, with the almost invisible string, it truly gives off the illusion of the dove in flight. Gave one to my BFF and she absolutely loves it! I received the package intact, birds were securely boxed and arrived in perfect condition. Also included with the birds is the authenticity card. Highly recommend!" —MyTai
Get them from John Perry Studio on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
70. A teeny-tiny harmonica so they can play some tunes to entertain friends and family at a moment's notice. They can even wear it as a necklace!
Promising review: "This was a stocking stuffer for my music-loving 16-year-old. It’s so tiny but had lots of different notes and worked very well. I highly recommend this item :)" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
71. A burger bicycle bell that attaches right to a handlebar, perfect for kids *or* adults with a sense of humor. It works great as a bell and might just tempt them into a pit stop at their favorite local burger joint to refuel.
Promising reviews: "I gave this to my boyfriend as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. He loves it. It's lasted for six months, it's in great shape, it does its job well, and most of all, he thinks it's the best part of his bike." —Shea
"No, I didn't buy this for a kid. I bought it for my old self. And yes!! I absolutely love it! The housing is plastic but surprisingly sturdy. The bell sounds like a bike bell should, and hey, it's a burger — a favorite of mine after a long ride." —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
72. An alphabet soup crossword game in nostalgic Campbell's soup can packaging — word game fans of all ages will ~slurp~ this right up.
It's designed for two to six players, ages 8 and up! To play, dice are split between the players, then everyone rolls their dice and uses the top letters to build a crossword. When everyone is stumped, you roll again, and the first person to run out of dice wins.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this game! Great game for three family generations to play together. Goes quick, and keeps you thinking. Easy to take on a trip (put dice in a plastic bag), This is our second game as we wore the letters off the first set. We normally play with four people, but if you put two games together and each take nine dice, we have played with more." —GrandmaB
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
73. An itty-bitty Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker perfect for keeping in their room, clipping to their backpack, or taking to the park. It may be small, but reviewers say it's loud for its size!
Promising review: "I bought this for my 8-year-old son because he kept stealing my portable speaker. He absolutely loved it! Decent sound quality and he loves to blast the speaker. It does get pretty loud but not obnoxiously loud. Great product." —Mom of boys
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
