Amidst the holiday hoopla of searching for the perfect gifts for your loved ones, stocking stuffers can easily tumble to the bottom of the list. This year, skip the last-minute scramble by bundling your stocking shopping with your grocery run. We’ve rounded up our top 10 stocking stuffer ideas—ranging from skincare favorites to festive beverages and sweet surprises—that Santa himself would be proud to tuck above your fireplace.
Candylabs
Kids can’t resist these test tube-inspired ribbon candies. Maybe it’s the novel packaging, or the emoji-esque images on each piece, or perhaps it’s the hand-pulled sugar massaged to textural perfection (okay, it’s definitely that one). The slim shape of these cute confections will seamlessly slip into the odd nooks and crannies of your stocking collection.
Neuhaus Chocolate
For those in your household with a more refined sweet tooth, Neuhaus chocolate is just the fix. This Belgian chocolatier has been crafting exceptional treats since 1857, rising to international acclaim along the way. Choose from stocking-sized chocolate bars or go a bit bigger with an assortment of indulgent pralines. How’s that for a Christmas morning sugar hit?
Metropolitan Market Peppermint Bark Snowflake
Our sugary selections wouldn’t be complete without a nod to our own Metropolitan Market Chocolate Snowflake. This seasonal delight is the edible equivalent of the first magical snowfall: peppermint and chocolate swirled together into a refreshing, heady bite. And the presentation is pretty enough to double as holiday décor. It’s almost too beautiful to eat (but not quite).
Pacha Soap Co. Bath Bombs
A bath bomb is the ultimate self-care stocking stuffer, and Pacha Soap Co. delivers with a scent-sational, holiday-themed lineup. Our favorites are the Peppermint Twist and Sugar & Spice, shaped like their candy and gingerbread cookie counterparts for an extra dose of festive fun.
Midnight Paloma Skincare
Gift your loved ones moments of warmth in the winter weather. Midnight Paloma’s Hot Cocoa and Cinnamon spa duo comes with a fast-absorbing hand cream and a bath soak made with Epsom salts to relieve muscle tension. And the aroma? It’s about as close as you can get to swan-diving into a mug of hot chocolate.
Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur
Five Farms is about to unseat your favorite Christmas-morning coffee companion. For starters, it scored an unprecedented 97 points in the international Ultimate Spirits Challenge—a remarkable feat in the Irish cream liqueur world. Its flavor is truly extraordinary, with notes of butterscotch, caramel fondue, and vanilla bean leaping from every pour. Santa’s got taste. (Pro tip: Keep an eye out for the mini single servings on our shelves.)
The Tea Heaven
What’s better than a steaming cup of positivi-tea? This local, woman-owned brand is changing the tea landscape with ethically sourced, high-quality leaves, environmentally friendly growing practices, and biodegradable tea bags. Sounds like the perfect excuse to brew up a homemade chai post-gift unwrapping.
Hoptimist Figurines
These cheery bobble heads are a reminder that joy itself is a gift. The Santa and Snowman Hoptimist figurines will add a bouncy, lively touch to your holiday festivities—and they’ll keep spreading seasonal smiles for years to come.
Smith Street Books Recipe Cards
Now these are the stocking stuffers for the food fan in your life: a collection of chef-quality global noodle and pizza recipes, styled in a takeout noodle box and retro pizza parlor sleeve. From Japanese ramen to Korean japchae, Neapolitan classics to deep-dish Americana, your gift recipient will learn how to make the favorites they love.
EeBoo Colored Pencils and Dominoes
A creative activity or family-friendly game is truly the type of gift that keeps on giving. These dazzling holographic dominoes are next up on your Christmas morning agenda—penciled in right after an artistic foray with EeBoo’s dual-sided colored pencils. The gorgeous designs are works of art in their own right. And you can feel good knowing Santa chose presents that help the kids develop their concentration and motor skills.
Sliding Down the Chimney
All these presents are waiting for you in-store, ready to jingle their way into your holiday haul. And if you need a little guidance, one of our team members—who also double as Santa’s helpers—would be delighted to help you discover the perfect stocking stuffers for your family.
