The 38 Best Stocking Stuffers That Make a Big Impression

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

With a couple of weeks left to shop for gifts, you don't want to forget the best stocking stuffers for women this 2023 holiday season. Once December 25 arrives, the attention typically goes to the stack of presents tucked under the tree. But, to me, the stockings hung with care on the fireplace (or tacked to a wall or mounted from a bookshelf) are not to be overlooked. Yes, they are often small, yet they're also among the most enjoyable indulgences for those who celebrate Christmas.

While there’s no chance that a TV or new vehicle could be tucked into this oversized sock (car keys sure would fit, however—hint, hint to my husband), it can be a great place to stash small but mighty luxuries that may be the best of all, like fine jewelry, stylish tech, and luxurious beauty.

There are sweet treats, like a decadent chocolate bar, a bag of specialty coffee beans, and even gorgeous lingerie that can all be stuffed into a stocking together with the guarantee of delighting any giftee. If you’re shopping for a customization queen, a stocking is also the perfect place to tuck away a personalized present like a meaningful pendant or monogram stationary set. For those all about fashion gifts, items like sleek sunglasses or a designer wallet (perhaps with a gift card inside) will certainly elicit that elated happy dance and squeal.

Ahead, find 38 of our favorite stocking stuffers, from gifts under $20 to plenty of luxury gift ideas. From home gifts to jewelry, there’s a little something for her, no matter what her interests and aesthetics may be. Pick one out now so that once Christmas morning arrives, you can start a new tradition of overlooking the presents pile and heading straight for the stocking.
