No one really wants socks for Christmas, but everyone could use a new pair in their stocking whether they’ll admit it or not. If you’re going to get someone one set of nice socks, the Bombas Ankle socks are the best you’ll find. Available in both men and women sizes, the Bombas Ankle Socks feature added support around the arch, making them comfortable for runners or people who simply spend a lot of time on their feet. Note that the price of a pair of Bombas Ankle Socks ranges slightly depending on the color.

LEGO sets make great gifts, but builds from some of the more popular franchises can be expensive. If you want to give the gift of a creative build for less, something like the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest Microfighter 75321 Toy Building Kit is a wonderful compromise. With 98-pieces, it still requires the builder to follow instructions to construct the iconic ship from Disney Plus’s The Mandalorian. The set even comes with a The Mandalorian LEGO minifigure and a jetpack. 

Patchology Hydrating Under Eye Patches

Did someone say spa day? The Patchology Hydrating Under Eye Patches are exactly what the doctor ordered for rejuvenation. This set of cooling eye gels with hyaluronic acid feature strawberry extract, feeling like a glass of refreshing rose for your face. The package comes with a set of five eye patches, which you can keep together or distribute across several stockings. As a bonus, remind your recipient to put them in the fridge before use.

Everyone needs a milk frother — that’s just a fact. The Zulay Milk Frother is the best stocking stuffer you can get for anyone who loves making coffee, cocoa, matcha or other tea beverages at home.

This battery-powered frother is always ready to use with an included stand that looks sleek enough for any coffee station. They’ll want to skip Starbucks once you see how easy it is to make perfect lattes with the Zulay Milk Frother.

A Tamogatchi is a perfect stocking stuffer for adults and kids alike. Adults will love the nostalgia factor of feeding a Tamogatchi pet, while kids can learn lessons about caring for their digital creature. Not much has changed for the original Tamogatchi over the years, and that’s what makes it so great: it’s simple yet endlessly enjoyable. These days there are licensed Tamogatchi variations as well the more sophisticated Tamogatchi Pix. But when it comes to stocking stuffers, the original Tamogatchi is the one to get.

Poetry for Neanderthals

Best stocking stuffers: Poetry for Neanderthals

A party game makes a great stocking stuffer. Our favorite this year is Poetry for Neanderthals, a spin on charades that forces players to communicate a secret phrase using only single-syllable words. If a player accidentally uses a longer word as a clue, someone from the opposing team gets to bop them on the head with an inflatable club that comes in the box. The enjoyment of this game starts when you accept that you’ll have to sound a little dumb to win. Depending on who you’re shopping for, there’s a Poetry for Neanderthals NSFW version that takes cues from Cards Against Humanity, too. 

'47 NFL Team Meeko Headband

Belkin Car Vent mount

Any of the best car mounts are good stocking stuffers for anyone who drives a car. But our favorite value is the Belkin Car Vent mount with adjustable brackets that can hold most major slab smartphones either vertically or horizontally. This gadget secures to an air vent, placing your phone in a convenient position for following directions or quickly answering a call. It’s also small enough to bring on a trip where someone might be using a rental car but still needs their smartphone at eye level. And if they need to charge their phone simultaneously, the Belkin Car Vent has handy cable management to keep your car’s front console organized.

Hydroflask Insulated Mug

One of the best stocking stuffers this year is the Hydroflask Insulated Mug, a 12-ounce cup with a lid and handle that makes it easy to carry hot drinks on the go. Whether you’re commuting to work or camping in the woods, having a Hydroflask Insulated Mug can certainly come in handy. It can even hold a stew or other small portion of food, protecting the temperature for hours thanks to special TempShield material. While there are plenty of Hydroflask products that make great gifts, there’s perhaps none that are more versatile than the Insulated Mug. 

AirTag

The Apple AirTag is one of the best keyfinders you can get for someone with an iPhone. An AirTag makes it a breeze to keep tabs on where your items are, as well as locate them when they’re lost. You can use an AirTag to track down a misplaced item with audio and visual cues that lead you right to the AirTag’s location, whether it’s inside a backpack or wallet. You could even attach an AirTag to a pet, with the right collar. For an added personalized touch, you could order an AirTag directly from Apple with a free name or emoji engraving. 

Homesick Premium Scented Candle

Candles are some of the best stocking stuffers, but if you want to give one that's a little extra special, a Homesick Premium Scented Candle is a thoughtful choice. Homesick hailed its name with candles made to smell like specific places, but the brand has since expanded to include scents that relate to different activities, astrological signs and times of year. The holiday collection, including Snow Day, Tree Lighting and White Elephant varieties, is especially good for the stocking. But we also love the Star Wars and Harry Potter collections for fans of those franchises. 

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen (travel size)

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen

SPF is an essential skin care step — and not just for days you're out in the summer sun. All year round, you want to protect your skin with a great, lightweight SPF like the SuperGoop! Unseen Sunscreen. SuperGoop!'s products are on the luxurious end of SPF, but the travel size versions are both affordable and convenient. In our experience, this .5-ounce bottle lasted a full week vacation, so this is the perfect gift to give someone that you has a trip coming up soon. The oil-free formula means you can wear it alone or under makeup, while sweat-resistance means it should last all day under normal conditions.

Logitech Pebble Mouse

Know someone who’s desk setup could use an upgrade? Students and professionals alike will love the Logitech Pebble Mouse, a wireless Bluetooth mouse that works with both computers and tablets. Not only is the Pebble Mouse small and, in fact, shaped somewhat like a Pebble, but it comes in an array of fun colors, too. Blueberry and Lavender Lemonade are probably our favorites, though there are at least nine to choose from including some neutral options. The best way to describe the Logitech Pebble Mouse is modern and minimalistic, also making it a great stocking stuffer for anyone who cares about aesthetics. We dare you to find a better-looking computer mouse.

Obviously you need a stocking stuffer for your four-legged friend. Whether it's for your own dog or for a pet owner you care about, a bag of Bocce's Bakery treats is the perfect gift. All of Bocce's Bakery treats are wheat-free and made of natural ingredients — nothing extra added that you wouldn't want your own dog to have. There are several biscuit varieties to choose from, and we can attest that the Bac'N Nutty kind is one of our dog's favorite treats. Bacon + peanut butter is an unbeatable combination, after all.

Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

This year’s hottest water bottle is the Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, hands-down. Available in 24-,32- and 40-ounce sizes, the Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle is more versatile than most bottles. Without switching out caps, you can choose whether you prefer to sip with a strap or tilt the bottle back for a swig. The cap also keeps where you drink from clean and doubles as a carrying loop. The Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle comes in multiple colors, so pick the one you think your recipient will like best. Everyone needs to stay hydrated, after all.

Kickstarting fitness goals will be on many people's minds towards the end of the holiday season, and while an at-home exercise machine can't fit in a stocking, this Peloton holiday card sure can. Peloton has released a series of holiday cards on Pinterest that makes it easy to get started with a 30-day free trial of the Peloton app membership. Printing out this card for a stocking is a good dose of inspiration  for the friend or family member who hasn't tried Peloton before.

Fitness gifts make great stocking stuffers. One of our favorites are Bala Bangles, a pair of 1-pound wrist weights that are perfect for elevating all kinds of activities. Whether your recipient loves to walk, weight train, do pilates or other kinds of training, wrist/ankle weights are the ultimate accessory. We particularly like Bala Bangles because they stay secure on our wrists and ankles while moving around. Not only that, they're pretty sleek-looking as far as fitness gear goes. There's a wide variety of fashionable Bala Bangles colors to shop from, too.

This cube features two USB-C ports for fast-charging smartphones and other devices simultaneously. It can even be used to charge a MacBook Air. No one can ever have enough chargers, especially people who travel or live in a busy household where borrowed chargers mysteriously disappear. The Anker USB C Charger 40W comes in a few different fun colors, so there will be no mistaking who it belongs to.

The five loops range from “extra-light” to “extra-heavy” resistance and are made from heavy-duty, tear-free latex. Stash them in the accompanying bag for on-the-go strength-training exercises. Just be sure to stash them in a stocking, first.

It’s ideal for producing freshly ground peppercorns, salt, dried minced garlic or other dried herbs someone might use while cooking.
