They say good things come in small packages and frankly we could not agree more. This is why a Christmas stocking filled with goodies is one of our very favourite parts of the big day.
Waking up to find a full-to-the-brim Santa Sack or stocking at the end of the bed is what Christmas is made for (and family, friends, merriment blah blah blah).
But finding the perfect set of goodies to gift your loved ones isn’t always easy. They can’t be too expensive or fancy, but you still want them to be used and loved like any other gift.
This is where we come in. Considering we are always on the lookout for the perfect gifts for any occasion, we’ve scoped out plenty of options that will be an absolute delight to unpack from the stocking come Christmas morning.
Read on to find our favourite stocking stuffers and prepare to impress.

What are stocking stuffers for?
Stocking stuffers are those tiny surprises stuffed into Christmas stockings, adding a fun and exciting twist to the holiday morning.
They’re often reserved for kids as gifts that Santa has stuffed in their stockings come Christmas Eve, but why should kids have all the fun?
What can I put in stocking fillers?
Stocking stuffers are often smaller, inexpensive treats like lollies, quirky gifts, beauty products and trinkets. The idea is to include items that are small in size but big on cheer!
