Stocking Stuffers – Ideas on a Budget
If you are looking for affordable Stocking Stuffers, here is a list of items that will be a great fit if you are on a budget, that you can get without even having to leave the house! We will updated this post throughout the holiday season, as we find more things in this price range, so be sure to pin it, or bookmark it so you can check back regularly!
To make the list easier to use, we have separated it into Stocking stuffers for kids and then tweens & teens! The image will show you the current price, but always verify the price in your cart before you checkout. Amazon prices are always subject to change.
Another thing I like to do, is add things my kids need (so I don’t have to buy it later) like pretty razors or special beauty products). And of course there is always candy too.
Note -Make sure to verify that these will ship in time for Christmas before you buy!Â
Stocking Stuffers on a Budget:
Here are a couple of spots to look for great deals on stocking stuffers in general, before we get into specific ideas:
- Walmart has Stocking Stuffers for $5 and Under here!
- Amazon has a page full of $10 and Under Stocking Stuffer Ideas here.
- 5 Below has lots of options starting at just $1
- Ultas Stocking Stuffers for as low as $1
- Shein has tons of really affordable stocking stuffers for under $5 (starting at $1). It is a great spot to look for jewelry, phone cases, ear bud cases, beauty items, socks and more, but make sure you shop early for shipping times!

Stocking Stuffers for Teens & Tweens:
As we mentioned above, another great idea for stocking stuffers for teens and tweens is to get them items they need (and you would have to buy later). Like beauty products, socks, hats, etc. Look for kits of personal products that go on sale (like Axe gift sets) and you can break those up to use in stockings too.
One spot you can get really affordable stocking stuffers for tween and teen girls is Shein. Their shipping takes longer though, so order early if you want to use them. I just got beanies and accessories for my girls from $1.25 to $2.50 each. They offer free shipping days too sometimes, or shipping is free on orders of $49+
