Perhaps you’ve already started thinking about holiday gifts, and you know what you’re going to get all of your loved ones. You’re already ahead of the game, but there’s still one tiny detail you can’t forget about: stockings. There’s nothing more disappointing than waking up on Christmas day to find yours empty or full of less-than-enticing items, like floss. As a result, you want to put just as much thought into what goes inside your loved ones’ stockings as the presents you place under the tree.
In recent years, stocking stuffers seem to have gotten more and more luxurious — a far cry from the socks or candy you might’ve received as a kid. But the truth is, you can still delight your friends and relatives without having to spend a fortune. We asked our staffers to share their favorite stocking stuffers (given and received) under $25, and their picks do not disappoint. How about a sleep mask that fits snugly over your eyes and keeps your makeup intact? Yes, please! Check them all out below, and get some inspo for fun and unique budget-friendly gifts.
