10 Great Stocking Stuffers Ideas

Stocking stuffers are the hors d’oeuvres of Christmas. Small by definition, they’re some of the most fun gifts to choose and to open. And, as we all know, finger snacks are often the tastiest part of a meal.

The tradition of stocking stuffing is as long and homespun as the stockings of yore. According to certain Christmas lore, an ailing father was hoping to find husbands for his three daughters; alas, he lacked money to secure good matches. Hearing of the father’s plight, Saint Nicholas desired to help, but he knew the man was too proud to accept charity. So, under dark of night one Christmas eve, he climbed down the chimney to deposit a discreet gift. Upon seeing the daughters’ stockings hanging to dry on the mantel, he slipped a bag of gold coins in each. The girls awoke to a glorious morning and happy days ever after.

Today’s “St. Nics” place small desirables in loved ones’ stockings to open before sleep or at crack of dawn. Chocolate bars, harmonicas and—yes, in at least one household—Scotch tape are more common these days than gold pieces or the dreaded coal chunk.

Here are 10 easy stocking stuffer ideas sure to spice up your holiday stockings:
