Here at SPY, we love looking for gift ideas, and we consider picking out the season’s best stocking stuffers something of a specialty. We’ve made it our mission to find the coolest stocking stuffers, little treats and tchotchkes for everyone on your holiday shopping list, and we believe we’ve found some awesome options for 2022.
The stocking stuffer is a Christmas tradition that is devilishly tough to get right. It’s one thing to get a gift, but an entirely different battle altogether when that gift has to be small enough to fit in a stocking. Whether shopping for stocking stuffers for women, stocking stuffers for men, or the best stocking stuffers for children, finding viable options can be difficult. Sure, you could go with cash or a gift card, but do you really want to phone in Christmas? No, we didn’t think so.
There’s a complicated list of best practices for stuffing a stocking. So if you’re determined to find the best stocking stuffers of 2022, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
Don’t include anything more expensive than the main gift you’re giving the recipient
Don’t include anything that costs less than $5 unless you’re sure it’s a quality product (think chocolate bars or hot sauce)
Make sure everything inside a stocking is useful or enjoyable
Include mostly edibles if giving to children, but only some edibles for adults (but is there such a thing as too much chocolate?)
All stocking stuffers must be small enough to fit inside the stocking
Some of the gifts in a stocking should be wrapped
When filling your family Christmas stockings, make sure each child gets similar items to avoid hurt feelings
This list might sound long, but as long as you’re stuffing a stocking with love, there isn’t a wrong way to do it.
We’ve already rounded up the 90 Best Christmas Gifts of the year, and now we’re finally ready to announce SPY’s official guide to the 99 Best Stocking Stuffers of 2022. So instead of tearing your hair out trying to stuff a stocking with a handful of throwaway items, check out our recommendations for the best stocking stuffers for Christmas 2022. We recommend you start Christmas shopping as soon as possible, and if you’re shopping for someone specific, you can also check out our guides to the best Christmas gifts for men and women.
Now, keep scrolling for the most awesome stocking stuffers. We’ve included stocking stuffers for adults, kids and even pets.

The compact design makes this gift the perfect size for pockets and Christmas stockings.
Godiva designed this beautiful tin of truffles just for the 2022 Christmas season, and it’s full of individually wrapped truffles. Every stocking needs some kind of edible treat, and Godiva is a holiday must as far as we’re concerned.
Best Personalized Stocking Stuffers: Birthdate Candles
Birthdate makes 365 candles, one for every day of the year, with fragrances tailored to zodiac signs. If you have a friend or sibling who loves astrology, then this is one of the most thoughtful stocking stuffers you’ll find. SPY editors have used (and loved) these candles, and we highly recommend them as a stocking stuffer or birthday gift.

Last year, 5 Surprise capsules were one of the top stocking stuffer ideas, and while the buzz has died down on these mystery gifts (each capsule contains five mini collectibles), the company has collaborated with Disney Store on a new series. Inside, you’ll find mini figurines and other toys featuring popular Disney characters, and they’re fun gift ideas for Disney adults (and kids, of course).

Who said functionality couldn’t be fun? If you love these sloth drink markers, you’ll also love these llama-themed drink markers.
We all know the feeling. You’re out and about, and you really have to go No. 2. No one likes to go in the middle of a friend’s holiday party, but if you have to do it, you better hope they have a bottle of Poo-Pourri Before-You-Go Toilet Spray. Squirt the spray into the bowl before you sit down, and no one will ever know you’ve pooped. While this may seem like an odd Christmas gift, it certainly falls into the category of something you wouldn’t likely buy yourself. So, if you know the person you’re gifting it to well enough, it could be a hilarious or super useful stocking stuffer.

We first wrote about Jot Coffee in 2020, and our product reviewer was highly impressed with this “ultra coffee” concentrate. Tuck this Jot Coffee in the stocking of any coffee lover for an amazing surprise. This pure, highly concentrated coffee is 20 times more caffeinated than any coffee alternative, meaning they only need one tablespoon to transform a simple glass of iced water into a delicious cup of brew.

While bath-themed gifts may be generally overdone at Christmas, we would argue that gifting someone a quality bath item is always worthwhile. Just do your recipient a favor and stay away from scented lotions, shower gels or other items he or she probably already has a stockpile of.
One example of an excellent bath stocking stuffer to gift this holiday season The M3 Naturals Himalayan Salt Scrub. With almost 8,000 reviews, this scrub maintains a 5-star rating on Amazon.
