Stocking stuffers are often the most overlooked part of a Christmas gift. Typically, parents will throw some bits and bobs in a stocking for their kids and call it a day, but as we get older, move out, and leave our Christmas stockings at our parent’s house, we forget all about the small, extra goodies that were the icing on the cake of Christmas morning.
I’m here to change that. In my humble opinion, stocking stuffers are sometimes the best part of a Christmas gift. Some may say that socks, jocks, and mini hand creams are boring, but in reality, they’re handy presents to receive — especially when you never think to buy them for yourself. Sometimes they’re even a fun little add-on to the main present.
Stocking stuffers shouldn’t be a last-minute lazy purchase with no thought put into it whatsoever. But if you’re absolutely perplexed and need a hand, I’ve rounded up X of the best stocking stuffer ideas that your giftee will actually use.
21 Stocking Stuffer Ideas That Are Genuinely Useful
Adairs Bow Japanese Honeysuckle Candle
How cute is this bow candle from Adairs?! Not only is the Japanese Honeysuckle scent perfect for summer, but once it’s burned down, the ceramic jar can be used to store makeup brushes or trinkets.

T2 Christmas Breakfast Tea Bag Tin 25 Pack
I buy this tea every single year. If Christmas morning could be bottled up and served as tea, it would be Christmas Breakfast from T2. It’s perfectly spiced yet sweet, warm, comforting and robust.

You can never have enough candles, and the Night Before Christmas candle isn’t only on theme for the festive season, it’s also ideal for summer. It smells of blackcurrent with a hint of rose and musk — so it won’t be thrown to the back of the cupboard once Christmas is over.

Lush Snow Fairy Bath Bomb
Lush makes some of the best stocking stuffers. Its Snow Fairy Bath Bomb has been an iconic stocking stuffer for years now (just make sure to place it in something protective so it doesn’t get bath bomb dust over all the other pressies).

You’ll receive a $50 voucher, which you can pass along them to redeem on their favourite sample — or you can keep it for yourself if you want your own bottle.
