CLJ Gift Guides: 31 Affordable Stocking Stuffers for Everyone!

December 7, 2016

We have more gift guides for you today! Starting with these stocking ideas and later today, we'll be sharing gifts for the home cook. Growing up, our stockings usually consisted of an orange in the toe, candy and some fruity shampoo--a luxury to have your own shampoo for a little while in a family of five girls. But since marrying Chris, the stocking game has changed a bit. There are actual bonus presents in there! One year, Chris got me 30 different kinds of chapsticks. Every kind imaginable. They filled my entire stocking and it was one of the best gifts he could have given me. Not only am I always losing my lip balm, but I got to try every kind under the sun.

However, for us, we keep stocking gifts small enough to fit in the stocking (obviously) and inexpensive, too. All are under $30, but most are under $10. So here are 31 stocking stuffer ideas for everyone in the family (we mixed them all together since many of them could work for a variety of people) that meet those requirements:

1. Mobile Lens Kit so they can up their smartphone camera game. Includes fisheye, wide angle and macro lenses, that work in front-facing camera mode, too. On sale for $16!

2. The sweetest barrettes. $8


3. A Really Big Windup bug. They're really big. They windup. And they're bugs. And fun. $4

  1. Help????, looking for a resource (which I thought was in one of your gift guides?)...a print of your home in bl/white but NOT a photograph...can be ordered framed or infrared and is black and white. Looks like a piece of orig art/sketch. Can you help, sound familiar? Thanks!

  2. What shop was the camera strap in? If you click the link it just says item no longer available and shows you a ton more camera straps but from all different shops.

  3. I have that tea infuser, and it's a good one. The holes are small so it works even with smaller looseleaf teas.

    That magnetic wristband would be perfect for my dad! Great ideas!!

  4. I usually only find a few things that my family would like in gift guides, but I love every one of these ideas! Thank you, thank you!

  5. My husband just glanced at my screen and asked why there was a double penis mug. I'm crying with laughter. The rest of these are great, but I can't unsee that.
