To me the perfect stocking stuffer is something that is unique and FUN! I love searching the internet for gift ideas that I have never seen in stores, or that I know my kids will think is fun! While on vacation last summer my kids saw these handheld water toys in a gift shop and they thought it was the best thing ever! If you grew up in the 80s/90s do you remember them from your childhood?! I used to love them too, and thought nowadays they were to “basic” for kids…but to my surprise they loved it! That gift idea, made me think of other things I had as a kid that I loved, like fruit stripe gum! Just go browse your local cracker barrel for more priceless nostalgic items!

What things from your childhood do you think would make great stocking stuffers for kids?

Another thing I always look for when shopping for stocking stuffers, are items that are cheap (like under $10). Bonus if they come in a pack of 2 or more so that I have one for each child. Most of these gifts are also Amazon prime ready, which lets be honest is a lifesaver! To shop these items click on the photo below!
