101 Cheap Stocking Stuffer Ideas
This list of over 100 cheap stocking stuffer ideas has the best gifts for adult men, women, and kids. Everything is under $10! There's even a section of small, inexpensive DIY Christmas gifts.

Introduction
We're chugging along in my stocking stuffer series!
These gift guides cover everybody from babies to grandparents. Today's collection of cheap stocking stuffers is no exception. In this post, I've got over 100 cheap stocking stuffers for every member of the family. Everything on this list (as of publish time) is under $10.
It's so easy to buy stocking stuffers that friends & family will love without break the bank. Even on a budget, you can wow any family member on Christmas morning!
In this list, I've compiled over 100 stocking stuffers for every member of the family. As of this publishing date of 2022, every single thing on this list is $10 or under. (Please let me know if that changes - I'll be glad to update the list as needed).
Best Stores for Cheap Stocking Stuffers
You'll find that these cheap stocking stuffer ideas come from a variety of places. Most of the stores included in this list have some kind of free shipping. I didn't want shipping costs to make your stocking stuffers even more expensive. So, I chose stores that provide quick and cheap shipping options this holiday season. You can the individual websites for details. Off the top of my head, I know that Nordstrom, Target, and Amazon all have some kind of free shipping available!
If shopping in person, there are many other resources for cheap stocking stuffers. Those include: dollar stores, Target dollar spot, and Walmart clearance sections. Walmart tends to put overstock items on clearance often. Sometimes, they even put seasonal items on clearance during that season! No matter your Christmas budget, there are many options for stockings. You don't have to limit your stocking stuffers to candy!
If you can't buy it, make it!
At the bottom, check out the section of DIY gift ideas. I get a lot of requests for super inexpensive gift options too, and DIY is about as cheap as it gets. I'm not a huge gift DIYer, but sometimes those little things can make the most impact.
Especially around the holidays, people love seeing the thought that goes into a gift! Make a unique gift that is a conversation starter and ultra cost-effective.
