Stockings are often filled with a collection of thoughtful, practical, fun, and affordable items. They’re also often last on the shopping list. To help, we rounded up a number of stocking stuffer contenders for babies, kids, teens, and grown-ups. All are sized to fit perfectly in a stocking with many coming as multi-packs so you can buy one set and split them up as separate gifts. Plus, nearly every gift priced at $50 or less.

Did you check your list twice and realize you still have more people to shop for? We’ve got you covered! Check out our entire holiday gift guide for even more ideas.
