Christmas is aggressively approaching. Somehow December seems to fly by at twice the speed of normal time. Quite the enigma.
Not only are you actively searching for gifts for the humans you love, you’re still into those old school stockings. I’m sure you’re very familiar – that tradition where you stuff cute little gifts into a dinosaur-size sock for someone you love. Or someone you’re begrudgingly required to provide a stocking for, according to the irrefutable names-out-of-a-hat legal guidelines.
Whatever the heart posturing, let’s offer some hand-picked items that the recipient will actually use for more than 3 hours on the morning of Christmas.
Pro-tip: don’t overfill the stocking. It’s ideal to allow the giftee to remove their items without shredding the sock to bits. If it’s actually hanging on a fireplace mantle, it’ll probably launch the nail and regretfully explode on the hearth below. If it looks like an anaconda that just swallowed a pig, you’ve probably outdone yourself. Reconsider your decision.

The top stocking stuffer ideas for all humans.
1. Stocking stuffers for him.
Lagavulin 16 Scotch whisky.
- Ron Swanson lives and breathes this Scotch for a reason. It’s insanely buttery, smoky and balanced. Only the best for him. $100 bones for a bottle of this liquid gold. That stocking’s net worth just went through the roof.
- The dopest ice to add to your whiskey drink. One massive ice ball. Cool your drink faster and dilute it more slowly.
- He watched the Disney Channel Original Movie “Smart House” for good reason. To prepare him for his smart home device obsession.
Light-sensing LED lighted outlet cover.
- The permanent night light that doesn’t take up one of your outlets. It replaces the entire outlet cover. A light sensor turns on the 3 LED lights when the room is dark to provide floor visibility without any overhead lighting use. Our backdoor and front door areas stay subtly lit every night.
- The craft coffee lover’s take-anywhere coffee brewer. Tastes like a mix of a pour over and a french press.
- Every guy should be slicing envelopes, cutting fruit and opening packages with a personalized knife.
- For the heavily bearded male and his facial grooming needs.
- Only one of most comical, engaging AND easy-to-learn games on the planet. Created by the artist Oatmeal whose silliness knows no bounds.
- When your dude grills all the meats and never temps anything… but REALLY should.
- For the closest shave next to a straight razor. Like your grandpa used to. Vintage facial hair care like a boss.
- The razor blade with a handle. Cuts drywall, carpet, thin plastic, thin wood, cardboard, some sheet metals and strips wire sheathing. The super sharp & versatile “pocket knife” for every handy-human. We recommend the folding version instead of the retractable version (box cutter). The folding version acts like a single blade Swiss Army Knife, closing to become about 50% smaller for safe and easy pocket storage. The utility blades are easily changeable whenever the blade begins to dull. If you want retractable, consider the foldable / retractable combo models.
- Possibly the most well-known and well-used tool ever. The tape remains coiled inside the device until extended. Smaller handheld versions measure from 1/16th of an inch up to 35 feet. Larger versions often measure up to 300 feet.
- Technology designed by Tinder to find a suitable gentleman… totally kidding. The electronic device that enables you to find and mark vertical 2×4 studs behind your drywall. Whenever fastening nails or screws to drywall isn’t structurally sufficient. Ideal for hanging very large pictures, shelves, cabinets, etc.
- For the dude who desperately needs to upgrade his drill bits. Those dull hand-me-downs just ain’t cutting it. Sized for all practical home applications.
- Don’t drop the stocking or risk breaking your floor. The shorter, thinner, wider, mini crowbar. The perfect tool for destroying things around the house or home. Uses on #DemoDay: rip out drywall, remove nails, pry dimensional lumbers out of place, remove trim, replace moulding, wreck door & window casing, demo your old vanity / soaker tub / shower insert, pry cabinets from the wall (after removing screws), etc. Less leverage than a crowbar. Ideally paired with a 20 oz hammer, mini sledge hammer or mallet.
Adjustable wrench + groove joint pliers.
- The handheld tools for the guy wanting to up his plumbing game at home.
Wire strippers + voltage detector.
- The beginner electrical handyman’s essentials. Don’t let him change light fixtures, switches or outlets without these must-haves.
2. Stocking stuffers for her.
- For all those needs she doesn’t even know she has yet.
- We all need some time off every now and then. An Airbnb gift card is the perfect gift for a mama who needs to take a night or weekend off and have some date time with her boo or a girls weekend with her besties. Up the ante by offering to babysit or pay for a sitter for her kid(s).
Gold & Snail hydrogel eye patch.
Romantic Rose Flower Print Lightweight Infinity Fashion Scarf & Head Wrap.
Women’s Fall Winter Scarf in Classic Tassel Plaid.
Women’s Floral Print Kimono Sheer Chiffon Loose Cardigan.
3. Stocking stuffers for babies.
Glow in the dark pacifiers.
- If your baby takes a paci and your don’t have a glow-in-the-dark version, you NEED this in your life. Once you little guy (or gal) is capable of grabbing the paci and putting it back in his (or her) little mouth, these glow-in-the-dark pacis help baby actually see the paci in the middle of the night, saving you a half-asleep walk across the house to find said paci. Game. Changer.
Teethers
- Are these teethers for Gnawty Baby Teethers not the CUTEST. She has such sweet options (and she’s also a personal friend who is a genuine, caring human.) Hurry and order to ensure you get your order in in time for Christmas!
- Canaan also has this teether. We love it because you can pop it in the fridge so it offers an added cooling element to soothe those little teething gums.
- Have you ever seen anything as cute as this little banana toothbrush. We started using it with Canaan when he cut his first tooth. We love this one because the handles make it easy for babies to grab even when they’re still little. You can train them in good (and cute) hygiene from the start!
- Baby will soon start using a cup, if he or she isn’t already. We sat down to write why we love these cups, but the product description stole the words right out of our mouths: Imagine a world in which drinks didn’t spill at all – not in your diaper bag, not on your furniture, and not even onto your eager-to-learn child. No, it’s not a miracle, exactly – it’s Munchkin’s miracle 360˚ cup. The first Sippy cup invented with both parents and kids in mind, the miracle 360˚ Sippy cup eliminates messes and supports kids’ dental health all at once. Drinking from anywhere around the rim, like a regular cup, helps support normal muscle development in a child’s mouth. And with no extra spouts, straws or pieces, the miracle 360˚ cup is easy to use and even easier to clean. We’ll say cheers to that.
