Gift-givers, step away from the chapstick and put down the toothbrush (!!). Whew, that was a close one. You almost gave your mom, dad, sibling, and friends the most cliché stocking stuffers of the holiday season. Thankfully, this list is chock-full of cool little presents that your loved ones will be super excited to receive, and, more importantly, use.
Stocking stuffers may not be considered the main event on Christmas morning, but with thoughtful gift-giving skills and this handy guide, those teeny-tiny, personalized presents will pack the same punch as the big boxes wrapped underneath the tree. From useful phone accessories and bath essentials, there's a mini gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list. And before you start panicking about how much this will cost, don't worry — almost every present on this list is less than $25 (with some goodies clocking in at just $5). We've also included all kinds of cheap stocking stuffers that you can gift to yourself, from magical bath bombs and sheet masks to a brand-new mug for your morning coffee. Plus, you can be sure that the presents will arrive on time, with fast shipping options from Amazon, Target, and more available.
So grab your Christmas stockings and get to stuffing, 'cause your cart is about to be fully loaded. Here are the best small and affordable stocking stuffers for teens that might be even cooler than an actual gift.
