I love Christmas! I like to buy Christmas presents throughout the year to help keep the holiday stress to a minimum.
When it comes to stocking stuffers, I usually wait until the last minute. In an effort to not do that this year I’ve come up with a list of 50 stocking stuffers for kids under $10.

50 Stocking Stuffers For Kids Under $10
In my family, we do a fun tradition for the adults where we do funny stocking stuffers. Everyone gets a kick out of it and it’s the highlight of Christmas. But for the kids, we mostly do practical/fun stuff that they can actually use.
For Your Reader
My kids love this magazine. Last year we put one in their stocking and then we ended up buying them a subscription for Christmas. They love getting a magazine in the mail each month.
- Books
Books are a great stocking stuffer!
We seem to always lose our bookmarks so putting extra in the stocking is a great idea.
Our kids love to read at night. We have lamps next to their bed but they prefer a book light.
Creativity
We started a gratitude journal this past summer and it has really helped. Did you know that writing down what you’re grateful for has been proven to help you be more positive? It also improves self-esteem and makes you happier!
My kids love post-it notes. A great idea for a stocking stuffer.
- Pencils
- Gel Pens
Who doesn’t love gel pens? My kids love to write/draw with them.
- Markers
- Crayons
- Erasers
For Fun
- Sticker Books
- Chocolate Coins
- Mini Coloring Book
- Playdough
It seems like we’re always running out of playdough. If you don’t have time to make your own, buying store-bought and sticking it in their stocking is a great idea!
- Silly Putty
- Small Toy
A lot of times Target will have little toys in their dollar section. I like to grab a few and stick it in their stockings.
- Plush Toy
- Bath Toy
- Bath Crayons

- Road Car Tape
Road car tape is so fun. It lets them create their own roads. My kids like to create an entire city with road tape.

- Temporary Tattoo
- Keychain
Who doesn’t love a good keychain? Get them a keychain to put on their backpack!
