I absolutely love stocking stuffers! When I was growing up, our stockings were usually filled with candy and a couple of fruits. When I got married, I really loved that my in-laws added some fun gifts in our Christmas Stockings.

What are good ideas for stocking stuffers?

I generally try to do SEVEN things in a stocking, you could do more or less! For ALL ages, I use this formula for stuffing stockings. I usually aim for:

  • Something to play with
  • Something useful
  • Something that smells good
  • Something delicious
  • Something to help with a hobby
  • A small game

Have a look through this list and see what things the guy on your Christmas list might enjoy in his stocking. Whether you are looking for stocking fillers for husband, stocking stuffers for dad, stocking fillers for boyfriends, or just general stocking stuffers for him, I have lots of options that he will love!

How much do you spend on stocking stuffers?

I always recommend working stocking stuffers into your overall Christmas budget (check out this post about planning out your Christmas A Christmas Planner for Gifting for your most organized Christmas).

I love to make stockings fun, so I usually budget $30-40 per teen/adult stocking, and $15-20 per kid stocking, but it comes out of my gift budget for each person. For example, if I have budgeted $100 for my teenager’s Christmas gifts, I would subtract $30 of that for stockings, leaving behind $70 for other gifts.

Don’t worry about what everyone else spends on stockings, they can be adjusted to fit YOUR budget! Maybe you pick one fun “gift” and fill the rest of the stocking with candy or food. Or maybe you want more of the budget to go to your stocking with only one or two bigger gifts under the tree.
