20 Easy Stocking Stuffers You Can Pick Up at the Dollar Store

Christmas is almost here, and stocking stuffers are a great tradition worth keeping. Fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank with them, unlike with larger gift items.

You can save money shopping for stocking stuffers since they're an easy way to put smiles on your loved ones' faces — especially if you know where to find good items at a low cost.

From clothing and beauty items to kids' toys, here are 20 stocking stuffers you can find at your local dollar store.

Beauty items are always great stocking stuffers. And this one from Dollar Tree is a steal at $1.25, especially when jade rollers can get as expensive as $22, like this at Sephora.

Gift food and fun with these hot coco balls from Dollar General.

Drop one of these bad boys into a mug and pour hot milk over it. Then, watch as the creamy milk chocolate melts away and marshmallows appear.

Give the kids hours of fun with a can of Play-Doh. For just $3, you can get six cans to dole out to your children or maybe even your niece and nephew. The silver colors are what makes this pack from Dollar Tree special.

If you’re a dog owner, you’re probably hanging a stocking for your pet, no? Or maybe you just know a dog lover. 

Dollar Tree carries a sizeable inventory of dog toys for the pooch in your life. Your dog will have so much fun trying to rip apart these plush toys with an attached rope for an extra good time.

Stuffing a loved one’s stocking with a new pair of warm gloves is probably very appreciated. How many single gloves do you have lying around your house?

A pair of fuzzy, patterned socks is a must when it comes to Christmas gifts. For just $1.25, pick up some festive socks in red and green colors.

Or get a little fun with snowflakes, Christmas trees, or lights. They’re at least half the price as very similar socks at Target.

If you have a loved one who likes to work their brain with a good puzzle, consider stuffing their stocking with a new word search book or a crossword puzzle.

Dollar Tree carries books that are holiday-themed and perfect for the occasion. A reviewer says each book comes with 64 puzzles. The text is also easy to read, so it’s perfect for puzzlers of all ages.

Let’s be honest, we can never have too many phone chargers.

These lightning cables are perfect stocking stuffers for the iPhone lovers in your life. You get 3.3 feet of cord for just five bucks — good for a nightstand, desk, or car.

When your kid throws one at a smooth surface (like the wall), it will flip and tumble down to the floor. You get three in a pack for $1.25 at the Dollar Tree.

Small items make the best stocking stuffers, so including nail polish in the haul just makes sense.
