Santa’s Secret Stocking Stuffer Formula Revealed!

The easiest way to stuff a sock – plus dozens of ideas

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care… but let’s be honest, somebody’s got to fill them. And with everything else on your holiday to-do list, curating a perfectly personalized, festive and cost-effective sock can be intimidating. 

Well, we wouldn’t call ourselves elves or anything, but we’ve got some of Santa’s best secrets for stuffing the perfect stocking. Just pick a product for each of the following categories and consider those socks stuffed!

Fresh Fruit

Call us old school, but there’s just something nostalgic about a Christmas orange in the toe of a stocking. Not only does it fill that awkward seam flawlessly, but it also gives both kids and adults a chance to enjoy the simple pleasures of the season. If you’d prefer a little twist on the seasonal favorite, consider a winter-ripe alternative: 

  • Pear (gold-wrapped are pretty and festive in a stocking)
  • Grapefruit
  • Persimmon
  • Pomegranate 
  • Kiwis
  • Tangerines

Something(s) Fun

Whether you wrap your stocking stuffers or not, placing the “fun” surprises near the bottom of the socks is a great way to build excitement as your recipients unstuff. While there’s no shortage of small items guaranteed to thrill, try these cost-effective options for every member of the family:

Kids


Teens



Adults



Something Cozy


This time of year, fluffier is always better – especially if you’ve got a big sock to fill. Choosing something soft and cozy is the perfect way to fill that long shaft – and warm some hearts during the season’s coldest months. Choose any of our ideas below, roll them up tight with a pretty ribbon and keep the comfort and joy going all winter long. 



Something Lengthy


You’ve almost reached the top of the sock! But make sure to keep any limpness at bay with a long stuffer that’ll ensure your stocking is festively plump. This one is less about the category and more about the shape, so you can be creative while thinking inside the rectangle.



Sweet Treats


Nothing looks more festive than sweet treats peeking out from a well-stuffed stocking. This time of year, go for seasonal delights and gourmet goodies that make any day of the year feel like a special occasion. Here are a few of our favorite delights: 



Filler


There’s nothing worse than filling a stocking and falling short. That’s why it’s always a good idea to have some filler items on hand – those products that give a lot of volume for a little amount of cash. Here are a few of our favorites:


  • Washcloths (these are our favorites of course!)
  • Kinder Schoko-Bons
  • Hard candies
  • Nuts in shell (bonus if you include a nutcracker!)
  • Stress balls
  • Wrapped chocolate truffles/bonbons 
  • Wrapped bars of specialty soap
  • King-sized candy bars
  • Gift cards in wrapped boxes
  • Rolls of Oreos/biscuits

We know you’ve made your lists and checked them twice, and this year, you can cross those stockings off quicker than St. Nick! Just follow this formula and you’ll be stuffing socks like a North Pole pro. And of course, we’ve got all sorts of things to help with that. Get your orders in quick for stocking stuffers they’ll love all year round!
