Probably This Picks Holiday Gifting Guide 2023: Stocking Stuffers

Everyone’s got their own weird and, at times, emotionally charged viewpoint on gifting for the holidays. Just within my own tiny constellation of best friends, opinions range from, “do not get me a gift” to “if I’m not given a gift, I will assume the worst.” Presents can represent so much, and the pressure can get to your head.

That unnecessary pressure that can come with gifting? I think it’s the reason I love the idea of stocking stuffers so much. They take the pressure off. By nature, stocking stuffers are meant to be just a little something extra, but they can be as superfluous or as deeply personal as you want them to be. These can be something literally stuffed into a stocking, or something given as an accompaniment to a larger gift, or, depending on the relationship, they can be a small little gift all in themselves.

We’ve got a list of stocking stuffers for you below, a round-up of thoughtfully curated something-extra’s for you and the people you love. I love everything on this list, but if I had to pick a favorite, it just might be the foodie fridge magnets. They’re so cute, not going to break the bank, functional, and they’ll forever live on the giftee’s refrigerator, a daily reminder that you thought of them.
