Stocking Stuffers are always the last thing I think about. I'm usually scrambling around the store at the last minute looking for something to throw in my kids' stockings that are cheap, but still useful. This list of 125 Stocking Stuffers for Kids under $10 or Less is basically one big brain dump. I made this list to help me when it's time to fill the stockings. I'm trying to "work smarter not harder". There's more than enough on this list to fill stockings several years in a row. Hopefully it will help you as well.

This list of stocking stuffers is broken up by category for your convenience. I like to vary the items in my kids' stockings, so I thought it would be helpful to break it down a little bit.
