Here are some ideas for stocking stuffers for moms you might like:

Cooking utensils & Kitchen Gadgets: Does mom cook a lot? Make her life in the kitchen more fun and easier with some fun goodies from Santa! Does she need maybe new wooden spoons or new kitchen gadgets? There are all types of great things to get, from a garlic press to a carrot peeler to an egg timer to pot holders and oven mitts. Measuring spoons, cups, and more are all good choices. Take a walk through the kitchen utensil aisle at the store and you will be amazed what types of things you can find.

Socks: Moms will always appreciate a pair of nice, warm, cozy socks. Moms are thrilled by things like socks, because they know how practical they are and it’s a nice treat she will enjoy. To make it extra special, but the brand of socks she loves but won’t buy for herself.

Gift Cards: Moms also love gift cards, especially if they are the type who like to shop. Good places for gift cards for Moms are places like Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Wal-Mart, JC Penney, Sears, Macy’s, Kohls, her favorite store, your local mall, Book Stores…We really like Amazon.com Gift Cards, because mom can pick whatever she wants online and it will magically appear at her door.

Kindle: Does mom like to read? Is she constantly going to the library? Does she have piles of books everywhere? A Kindle is an ebook reader that can help declutter plus make thousands of great books available to her within just a few clicks. While it’s not something every mom needs, it is one many will enjoy – especially if they like to read.

Chapstick: Moms also really love certain types of chapstick, and having some extra at Christmas time is nice to have, especially when in the winter months you are most likely to need it.

Specialty Teas/Hot Chocolate/Coffee: What is mom’s favorite beverage of choice? Whether its tea or hot chocolate or a special coffee blend, these also make for great stocking stuffers as well!

Jewelry: Surprise mom with a special gift in her stocking such as a charm bracelet/necklace (or charms to add to one if she already has a collection), or consider a special pendant or other jewelry she likes. With moms, you don’t usually have to spend a lot, so you can have the kids make something out of noodles and it will be just as well loved  Shown right is the Mother’s Heart Forever Pendant, which is a popular gift for moms.

Spa/Bath Items: Give mom a gift card for a relaxing day at a local spa, or consider buying her spa items for home such as her favorite soaps or bath salts.

Gloves: Moms always lose their gloves, because they usually loan them to their children, who forget where they put them. Giving mom a new pair of gloves will help make sure that everything stays in one spot easily!

Here are some of our favorite ideas for babies and toddlers:

Boon Squirt Baby Spoon We know what you are thinking – it doesn’t look like a spoon. But if you’ve ever tried to feed a young baby you know exactly how messy it can be! This spoon actually perfectly dispenses the right amount so you don’t have to worry about making a mess. Click Here to Read Reviews & Order .

Bath Tub Toys: Babies and Toddlers love bath time, and so bath tub toys make for the perfect gift. We really like the Sassy Counting Friends Bath Toy as pictured (and it’s only $5.99!) – but there are also many others to check out as well that are perfectly stocking stuffer sized. Click Here to See More Bath Toy Ideas.

Board Books: Board books are usually small in size and are made perfectly for tiny hands to turn the pages (and chew on as well!). We love Taggies books like the one pictured right, which engage babies and toddlers with their textures.  They also come in a wide variety of stories and themes so you ‘re sure to find something that is perfect for your child. Click Here for More Taggies Books.

Cups & Bottles: Babies and toddlers love cups and bottles, so that is another practical stocking stuffer to consider. You can get them disposable ones or one with their favorite character as well as many others. Older toddlers might also like cups with straws.

Pacifiers: If you have a baby who is still using a pacifier, Santa knows that losing them can be a rough night for everyone, and so getting a few extras of their favorite type makes for a good stocking stuffer as well.

Favorite Snack Foods: While babies and young toddlers likely can’t have a lot of the traditional Christmas candies because of choking hazards, there are still many snacks you can put into their stocking they will enjoy, such as Cheerios, Gerber Freeze Dried Fruit Snacks, Applesauce, jars of baby food and more.

Hairbrush/Comb: Many babies and toddlers are just starting to get a full head of hair, and so a good gift for them is a hairbrush and comb set. If you need ideas for stocking stuffers for baby girls, you could also include some hair bows, head bands or other accessories – just make sure they are safety rated for their age.

Socks & Tights: Santa also knows that socks are always lost and missing, especially since somehow babies know how to kick them off and lose them while you’re out and about. You can never have too many socks!

Christmas Ornaments: Another thing you can do is to get a special Christmas ornament to remember this year’s season. There are a number of Baby’s First Christmas ornaments, or for older babies and toddlers you can find an ornament with their favorite character or that will remind you of what they like – and they can even help to hang in on the tree!

A lot of people think it is hard coming up with stocking stuffers for boys, but it is actually pretty easy when you think about the things he likes to do. Boys are sometimes even more fun than girls because there are a lot of neat things they tend to enjoy like building kits and more.

Here are our favorite stocking stuffers for boys:

Building Sets: Boys like to build stuff, and so there are all types of building sets to consider. Lego makes all sorts of stocking sized sets, and there are also brands like K’Nex and others. You can either buy a big box and then divide them up amongst several kids, or look for small stocking size sets that will compliment other toys your child already has.

Action Figures: Many action figures can fit easily into a stocking, whether it be from their favorite movie, their favorite super hero, or even those little plastic army guys. The possibilities are endless on these ones.

Art Stuff: While boys most likely won’t like the glitter glue girl crafts, they may like a nice set of colored pencils, a book on how to draw things like cars, trucks, and dinosaurs, or even crayons and a coloring book if they are younger. Older kids might like a sketchpad or kits for making bugs and creepy crawly crafts.

Brain Puzzles: There are a number of different brain puzzles that your boys might like. Crossword puzzles, Suduko puzzles, logic puzzles – they all make for good gifts. You could also look for triva games and flash cards that might fit into their stocking.

Small Games: For older kids, you might want to look into travel sized games that not only fit nicely in a stocking but will also keep them occupied in the car or while waiting somewhere. Look for the classics or get a new game you haven’t tried yet. There’s also a number of card games that will fit great into a stocking that they might like. Small puzzles are another good gift.

Flashlights: I’ve yet to meet a boy who doesn’t like flashlights, and they tend to always need more because they will lose them! (This is true even of the 35 year old “boy” I married!) My favorite pick for this are the crank no batteries required flashlights – especially for younger kids who seem to not realize if you leave them on all the time the batteries will die. The wind up flashlights are also great for having when the power goes off or in the car, so it makes a great stocking stuffer for really just about anyone. Click Here to See Crank Flashlights

Stickers and Tattoos: Boys will also love age appropriate stickers and temporary tattoos. Look for ones that have a jungle theme, motorcycles, cars and trucks, creepy crawly bugs, and others.

Food: Food is another great gift. One long standing tradition is to put an orange in the stocking, or you can also put in other fruits like dried fruit snacks, apples, or bananas. I’ve put everything from pudding cups to snack cakes in my kids stocking – so it’s up to you what you put in and how healthy it is. I’ve found some of my kids favorite lunch box snacks are perfect – and I’ll be able to pack them in their lunches, too!

Small Toys: You can also opt for many different small toys, whether they be metal die cast cars, toy dinosaurs, yo-yos, marbles or others.

Funny Gifts: For older kids with a sense of humor, there are all types of good funny stocking stuffers, like slingshot monkeys,novelty bandages, and more.

Big Ticket Items: Sometimes it is a fun surprise to hide something really unexpected in a stocking that would usually be reerved for an actual gift. Inexpensive digital cameras, mp3 players, Nintendo DS games, DVDs, CDs, and more are all really good bets with just about any kid. If you want to save money, I always check out sites like Amazon.com first where you can get everything a lot cheaper than you would pay in the stores – and even get free shipping on most items for orders over $25. Last year I was able to get all of the new release movies for $10-$12 there when other stores in my area wanted $17.99 or more!

Many of the dolls made by this company are too large to fit into a stocking – but they do have many 6″-12″ items that will be just perfect for anyone looking for these special dolls.

Here are some of our favorites below:

Wizard of Oz Collection

Don’t be fooled that these are part of a McDonald’s happy meal collection – these dolls have the same quality workmanship you would expect – and are the perfect size to fit into a stocking. The Wizard of Oz theme is a popular one, and so these are great for the collector. Give someone the entire set, or split them up to give to several people if they have a favorite character. Best of all, they ship free. From Amazon.com

Cinderella

Measuring at 8″ this doll may fit in a larger sized stocking. From the Storyland Collection, she has a beautiful blue dress and tiara with articulate details and beautiful curls. Click Here for Madame Alexander Cinderella

Madame Alexander Classic Trimmings Wendy

This 8″ doll is the perfect addition to a Madame Alexander’s collection, especially as a stocking stuffer with a Christmas theme. Dressed in a festive outfit of red and green, she also comes with a snowflake ornament which can be hung on the tree. Click Here for the Madame Alexander Trimmings Wendy

Hermey the Elf and Bumble the Abominable Snowmonster

This classic duo is the perfect pair for Rudolph movie fans out there. Hermey the Elf measures at 8 inches tall and the Abominable Snow monster measures at 12 inches tall. While they may be too big for some stockings, you could always wrap them – or give as a gift all on their own. Click Here for Madame Alexander Dolls Hermey the Elf and Bumble the Abominable Snowmonster

Madame Alexander Hungry Baby Accessory Set

This set includes a carrying case, sippy cup, pacifier, bottle, bib, plate, and spoon and will work great for 12″, 14″ or 18″ dolls.Click Here for the Madame Alexander Hungry Baby Accessory Set

Madame Alexander Clothing Outfit Accessories

Another great thing you can do as a stocking stuffer, especially if the person is already an avid collector and has numerous dolls is to get outfits. This is especially great for someone who prefers the 18 inch dolls, since their larger size makes them too big for most stockings.

If you haven’t already checked out our homemade stocking stuffers, you may want to check those out, too – since many of those things can be made without spending a lot of money.

Here are some ideas for free stocking stuffer ideas:

Use Freebie Sites: There are a number of great freebie sites you can go to that list free sample giveaways. These little samples are the perfect size for stocking stuffers. The only disadvantages to this is that 1. It takes 6-8 weeks for most freebies to come to your house, so you’ll need to plan in advance and 2. You’ll be giving your contact information to a lot of people, which could raise some privacy concerns. But, if you do it right, you can get a nice steady supply of freebies for many years to come!

Sign Up for Clubs & Newsletters: Whether it’s the EPA Kid’s Club or the tuna of the month newsletter, there are a number of free clubs you can sign your kids up for and they will likely send a whole slew of nice goodies in the mail, whether it be toys or magazines or stickers and more. Again, this will take some planning and you’ll have to intercept the mail to make sure your kids don’t see it, but it’s another great way to get more free stuff for stocking stuffers.

Go to Trade Shows & Community Events: If you’ve ever gone to a trade show or other community event with people sitting at tables, you’ve probably noticed people give away a lot of freebies at these things! Recently at a home show I got rubber duckies, a plastic water bottle, tons of pens, stress balls and tons of other promotional gifts. Yes, they will have commercial logos on them most times, but it’s another way to get free stuff, especially for kids who won’t be concerned their new frisbee is advertising the local garage door installation company.

Make Trades: Chances are, your kids likely have some stuff sitting in their toy boxes and closets they don’t ever play with and never use, and it’s likely a lot of it may even be in new or good condition. Maybe you have stacks of books that are in great condition, or maybe you’ve got some other things that haven’t ever even been opened. And, I’m willing to bet there are other people near you in the same situation. Consider setting up a “Secret Santa Swap” in your community or with other parents where you can trade off all of those “like new” and “unopened” unused gifts and get some great new things to give others without spending a dime.

Use Your Credit Card: Most credit cards will have some sort of cash back rewards system, where depending on how much you spend you can earn gift cards to different stores. You’ll have to check with your credit card provider of course to make sure they offer this, but don’t forget to take advantage of it around the holidays (remember it will likely take several weeks or even months for processing, too!) You can get great gift cards for stocking stuffers this way!

Look for Buy One Get One Free Sales: Buy One Get One Free (or BOGO) is great way to get two of something for the price of one. This is especially helpful when shopping for people with similar interests.

Craigslist and Freecycle: By now, I’m sure you’ve been to a site like Craigslist where people list things for free they are giving away. While the Christmas season is a little harder (more competition) – you can always check it year round and then stash away things that would make for nice little stocking stuffers. Freecycle is another great thing to get into, where people are constantly listing things they are giving away for free.

Start a Blog: I started blogging about 2 years ago. In that time I’ve received countless offers to get free stuff to write about. I’ve gotten everything from books to food to DVDs to workout equipment. This will take awhile, and you’ll need to learn how to do it as well as how to market your website (companies are not going to give you free stuff to write about if no one reads your site!) – but it’s another great way to get really nice free stuff pretty much on a regular basis. Just be sure you disclose that you got the free stuff from the company when you write a review. (Hey, are you reading this and want to send me free stuff? Let’s get in touch! You can start blogging for free – just go to Google Blogger.

Here are some ideas for stocking stuffers you can make yourself:

Baked Goods and Candies: It is usually much more cost effective to make your own cookies and candies instead of buying the expensive prepackaged ones at the store. Not to mention, you’ll also have complete control over the ingredients, so you can avoid preservatives, chemicals, and additives. There are a number of easy candy making recipes online. Chocolate covered pretzles are also another popular choice which are easy to make. Simply wrap them in a pretty bag or cloth with a bow.

Bath Soaps: It is easy to make your own bath soaps, especially with the number of different soap making kits out there. You can get everything you need to get started simply by going to a craft store and it can also save quite a bit of money. For extra fun, either choose nice scents or consider hiding something in the soap, such as money or small trinkets.

Homemade Lip Gloss: You can easily make your own homemade lip gloss simply by carefully melting some petroleum jelly and then adding flavoring, such as cocoa powder or powdered drink mixes.

Make Your Own Candles: Making your own candles is another great homemade gift to make and it is easy to do. How Do You Make Homemade Candles?

Knitted Gifts: If you are good at knitting or crochet, you can make a number of great gifts, from handmade scarves to mittens to sweater socks.

Stickers: If you crave something personal and special, then making your own stickers is another great homemade stocking stuffer! You can do this easily if you have a printer and some graphic design software, or you of course can always hand draw them yourself. (You could even make “color your own stickers for kids”). All you need is sticker paper, and you can find that at a really great price here. For less than $20 you can make over 100 pages of stickers!

The Gift of Music: Each Christmas, my brother makes me a CD of all of the songs from that year he thinks I might like. It’s always fun to pop it into my CD player and see what he makes! If you’re musically inclined, you can also make your own CD by using free programs like Audacity or Garage Band (if you’re using a mac). Another great alternative is to record yourself reading a story or a book.

Make Your Own Dolls & Action Figures: Something that is great to make if you are a little artistic is to make dolls or action figures. You can make them easily with anything from old fabric scraps or items you have around your house.

Make Your Own Play dough: You can easily make your own play dough, which can be made as a gift all on it own, or use the dough to make items like figurines, ornaments, magnets and more.

Magnets: Magnets are another great homemade gift to make, especially since almost anything can be turned into a magnet! All you need is magnetic tape or backing and you’ll be able to make all sorts of things!

Pins: Pins are another thing you can make easily on your own. All you need is an idea and pins that can be glued onto the back. This is a great gift for just about anyone.

Felt Christmas Ornaments: All you need is a little felt and either a needle and a thread or glue to make simple and easy felt Christmas ornaments.

Photo Gifts: Photo gifts really make for a nice personalized gift, especially if you also make your own book or photo frame for them.

Scrapbook: Something that is nice to do around the holidays is to make a scrapbook of all of things you’ve done the past year. You can include pictures, quotes, and little souvenirs from things you did.

Make Your Own Bath Salts: This is simple to do, all you need is about a 1/2 cup of Epsom salts, 1/2 cup of sea salt, 1-2 teaspoons of glycerin, and any essential oils you would like to use as a fragrance. Mix the ingredients together and put into a decorative container. It sounds relaxing already, doesn’t it?

Art Prints: If you have a flair for painting or drawing, why not make some art prints? You don’t even have to be good at drawing, as is quite evident in this site teaching people how to draw. If you’re horrible at drawing, just remember it’s the thought that counts – and beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course!

Make Coloring Books: Kids love coloring pages and books, and it is easy to make your own. If you don’t have the talent or time to draw your own, consider looking online for things like color by number printables and other coloring book pages online.

Write a Poem, Story, or Quote: Inspirational poems and quotes or stories make for great things to put in a homemade frame or attach a magnet to. If you’re not a natural poet, there are a lot of poems online you can check out, too.

Make Your Own Jewelry: Another great craft to make for stocking stuffers is jewelry. You can make bracelets, necklaces, rings, hair bands, and much, much more. Use string, use beads – you could even use noodles! There are a number of different things that can be made out of different things around the house and they will seem very nice!

Here are some of our best ideas for stocking stuffers for adults:

Personal Care Items: Everyone needs personal care items, and getting them for Christmas is always nice, especially if they are a favorite brand they don’t always buy for themselves because it seems frivolous. Toothbrushes, travel sized toothpastes and mouthwash, bars of specialty soaps, deodorant, cosmetics, hand lotion,razors and blades, lip gloss and chapstick, and other types of things you can find in your local health and beauty department in any retail store are all great places to start. These always work great for both men and women very well.

Movies: If the person is a movie buff, DVDs and Blue-Ray discs fit perfectly into a lot of stockings. You can get the latest newest releases, their favorite TV series boxed set, an old classic, or a number of other things available on DVD. If they already have an extensive DVD collection, why not spring for movie theater gift cards so they can see the newest box office hit right away? Don’t forget movie sized popcorn and candy, too! Finding movies online at sites like Amazon.com can sometimes save you big, especially if you shop early. I’ve found some new releases as low as $5.99 before when others sold in stores for $17.99 or more!

Click Here to Shop for Movies at Amazon.com.

Pocket Guides: There’s a pocket guide for everything and any interest, whether it’s the Handyman In-Your-Pocket, a book filled with DIY info to the SAS Survival Guide which is great for anyone to have on hand in case of an emergency or to keep in the glove box of the car.

Puzzles: Puzzles are always a hit, especially around the holidays. Whether you go for puzzle books or jigsaw puzzles, these will keep everyone entertained

Gag Gifts: If the person you are shopping for has a good sense of humor, then gag gifts are a great gift also. Whether you get a flying monkey or something else from our list of silly stocking stuffers or find a funny bumper sticker or pin, you’re sure to make them laugh.

Food: Everyone needs to eat and drink, and so this is a great option for the hard to buy for. You can give gourmet hot chocolates, teas, coffee, candy, snacks, and more. Money Saving Tip: Buy in bulk online or at a warehouse membership club if you have multiple people to buy for.

Office Supplies: Nearly everyone can use a really nice pen. There’s something about having nice pens to write with that just about everybody likes. Our favorites are Uniball Pens and Sharpie Markers. There are also a number of other good office supplies that can be useful: Rolodex cards, staplers and staples, tape, paper clips, and more.

Cooking Gadgets: Cooking utensils are great for anyone who loves to cook, or they can also be good for someone who is just starting out in a new house or apartment. Measuring cups and spoons, can openers, a garlic press, a nutmeg grinder, a vegetable peeler, or other handy kitchen trinkets all make for great gifts.

Stickers and Magnets: Stickers and magnets are not just for kids, really! There are a number of great bumper stickers or you can even make your own stickers. There are also some really funny magnets out there for the refrigerator, and of course Magnetic Poetry Kits are always a hit, too.

Fitness and Outdoors Gear: Know someone who loves to work out or spend time outdoors? Whether it’s a handy pocket knife, a compass, a stop watch, or an interval timer, there are a number of great gifts that are stocking sized perfect for adults who love to fish, hunt, bike, backpack, swim and more.

Car Accessories: Many adults have cars, and so car accessories are useful, too. Steering wheel covers, car wax kits, air fresheners, and even a pair of fuzzy dice all make for good things to stuff into their stockings.

Games: Games aren’t just for kids, and there are a number of great games for adults, from classic card games to party games for adults.

Gift Certificates: You really can’t go wrong with gift certificates, whether it’s to their favorite coffee shop or home improvement store or gas cards, they’re sure to use them and appreciate them. You can even order gift cards online. Many restaurants have sales where you can even get extra bonuses for your gift certificates!
