Stocking Stuffers Under $25 They'll Actually Use

Stockings are my favorite part of the holidays. But it's so easy to fill them with cheap little things that break by New Year's or get forgotten in a drawer.
So this year I picked stocking stuffers that will actually get used, all under $25 and all with Prime shipping. I sorted them by who they're for, so you can jump right to the person you're shopping for.
Quick tip: prices change a lot in November and December, so look for a coupon box under the price, and check my promo codes page for extra savings.
For kids
Kids love having something to *do* on Christmas morning, so I look for little gifts that keep them busy (and off a screen for a while).
- Glass marker pens: a big set of bright markers that write on glass, mugs and windows, then wipe right off. Perfect for decorating windows for the holidays.
- LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Wild Animals: one box, three builds. They can make a spider, then rebuild it into two other animals.
- Kids' karaoke machine: for the kid who's always singing. Get ready for a lot of Christmas concerts!
- Funko POP! Mira from KPop Demon Hunters: if your kids have watched KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix (or 100 times), they'll love having Mira on their shelf.

My stocking stuffer tips
- Buy early. Popular small gifts sell out or go up in price by mid-December.
- Set a budget per stocking. It's easy to keep adding "just one more thing."
- Mix fun and useful. One treat, one useful thing and one thing to do together always works.
- Check the return window on each item before you buy, just in case.
