Need some stocking stuffers in a pinch? Read on to see how Amazon can come to your rescue. 

At this point, you’ve perhaps finished the bulk of your holiday shopping and are done raiding your savings account to buy your loved one the electronics and apparel they’ve been jonesing for. But there’s one aspect of Christmas you may have overlooked — stocking stuffers.

The good news is that Amazon has a host of fun items you can find at reasonable prices. Check out these buys to see if they’re a good fit for your family.

1. ZMLM Scratch Paper Art Set: 60Pcs

Scratch paper makes a great token gift for kids of all ages; it’s coated so that when you scratch the coating off, you reveal color underneath. Amazon has a 60-piece set of rainbow scratch paper for $6.99, which is 30% off the usual price. It’s a good item to pick up ahead of what could be a long week of no school during winter break. And it’s a good indoor activity to have on hand in general when there are kids in the mix.

2. Sensory Fidget Toys Pack – 60 Pieces

Kids tend to like to keep their hands busy. Amazon is selling a 60-pack of assorted fidget toys for $16.99. If you’re trying to fill multiple stockings, you’ll get a nice variety with this set. This also makes a great party bag stuffer, so if you have a child’s birthday coming up shortly after the holidays, use a few fidgets to fill their stockings and reserve the rest for later.

3. Enchante Ellen Tracy 10 Pc Lip Gloss Collection

Lip gloss is a great gift for teens and adults alike. This set features 10 fun colors for just $9.99. You could gift the entire set to a child, or split a set between multiple family members. And no one would judge you for keeping a couple of these lip glosses for yourself, either.

Now if you don’t need 10 lip glosses and want to spend less, Amazon has these lip glosses available for just $2.19 apiece. But with the above set, you’re only paying $1 per lip gloss, so it may be worth it to keep some around for later at that lower price point.

4. 2023 Topps Series 2 Baseball Hanger Box — 64 cards

Have a baseball fan at home? Baseball cards are a great stocking filler. They can be traded or added to an existing collection, and keeping them organized is a great way for your pre-teen to stay occupied. This pack of 64 cards is available for $19.99. It also makes a great addition to a baseball-themed Christmas array, such as if you’re buying your child a blanket, jersey, and hat with their favorite team’s logo.

Another option you can look at if you want to spend a little less is this single jumbo pack of 36 cards for $9.95. Or, if you have a local hobby shop in town, pop in and see if it sells individual packs for less. It may or may not, but if it’s a convenient stop, it may be worth asking.

5. Men’s Fuzzy Slipper Socks

Need a stocking stuffer for Dad? This set of cozy socks makes a great gift. For $17.99, you get a pack of five. And while they’re labeled as men’s socks by Amazon, the reality is that anyone can wear these socks if they’re the right size for your feet.

6. Burton and Burton Mornings are Ruff Ceramic Coffee Mug

Adulting is hard. You know what makes it easier? A warm cup of coffee in the morning and a mug with dogs on it. This Amazon find fits the bill. For $9.20, you get a 13-ounce mug that might inspire your spouse to brew some coffee at home rather than run up a credit card tab at Dunkin’ or Starbucks.

In addition to the items above, remember that candy and chocolate are also great for Christmas stockings. So if these specific picks don’t really suit your family, give the gift of something tasty. Amazon, for example, is selling a four-pack of Reese’s Santas for $9.98. But your local grocery store might have a nice selection of holiday candy at lower prices, so it pays to have a quick look and see what you can find.

Plus, candy is the kind of thing that can get banged around in transit. So you may be better off buying it at the supermarket than having it shipped, unless your kids are the type to get a kick out of a beheaded peanut butter Santa.
