A few years ago, I wrote a post about how much I hated buying Christmas stocking stuffers. I didn’t want to fill the stockings with junk.

I asked this question at the end of the post: Do you have any great non-clutter stocking stuffer ideas?

And boy oh boy did y’all deliver!

So this year, I’m putting those fantabulous ideas into a post so you can have them in one easy-to-read place. (And so you can share this post on Pinterest and all that good stuff . . . )

Obviously, consider your child’s age and needs.

(Oh. And I am linking to a the items using my Amazon affiliate links. Please note that this is for your convenience and my desire to make money to pay for this site. You may prefer to pin this post and pull it up on your phone while at the store. Also note that prices change all the time over on Amazon, so if you land on a package of underwear for $700 you can rest assured that when I originally linked to them, they were the best price I saw at the time, and were most definitely not $700. Also, they will take you over there on my link, but you should look for the best fit for your family and your budget once you’re there. And, some of the items are PrimePantry or add on items that have to be shipped with other things because they’re small items. If you don’t have prime, here’s how we use it all year long to save my sanity. And this is a great month to try a Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial.)
