Finding the perfect stocking stuffer is a rare art. It has to be meaningful enough to have heft as a gift itself. But it can’t be big enough to steal the thunder of the gifts under the tree — or, frankly, to weigh the stocking off of its hook. Shopping for the kids in your life can feel even more precarious, given that the toy du jour seems to change by the hour. And so does the price, in one upward trajectory.
So, how do you perfect the art of the stocking stuffer without sending your budget into the stratosphere? You head to Dollar Tree. Among the aisles, you’ll find the gizmos and gadgets galore that will light up the faces of the little ones around you.
GOBankingRates took a look at some of the potential stocking stuffers.
Assorted Novelty World Light Up Goofy Gooey: $1.25
The kids in your life are going to absolutely love this goofy gooey, which lets them get gross — but not too messy — by stretching the brightly colored slime, which lights up before their very eyes. Available in blue, red and green, it’s cheap enough for you to load up their stockings with it. Though it looks like slime, it’s not too easy to pull apart, which means parents can absolutely love it too.
Fuzzy Friends Rolly Poly Plush: $1.25
Unicorns and puppy dogs and koalas, oh my! These plush little cutie pies, along with their friend the axolotl, are ready to be the cuddle buddies for the little ones in your life. As soft as they are cute, they’re perfect for not-so-little ones too — the tweens and teens who might not want to admit that they love stuffed animals as much as their little siblings.
Bright Plastic Winged Ponies With Combs: $1.25
These beautiful winged ponies would make Pegasus blush with their bright colors and lush manes that all but beg to be brushed. While you can’t quite call them My Little Pony, you can call them a perfect stocking stuffer, bound to delight kids of all ages.
Etch a Sketch Mini Doodle Magnetic Drawing Boards: $1.25
A perfect way to encourage creativity without getting crayon on the walls, this mini etch a sketch offers the most artistic kids a chance to doodle for hours on end with minimal muss and fuss. Kids and parents alike will savor this gift when it comes to long car rides, making you the hero to the whole family as the “Are we there yet?” falls off.
Plastic Yo-Yo Toy for Kids: $1.25
Why not bring back classic toys this holiday season? There’s a reason kids throughout the ages have enjoyed mastering the skill of the yo-yo, and you can help bring the kiddos in your own family or friend group into the rich tradition. Who knows, you may have another Smothers Brother, or Sister, in your midst.
