You can never go wrong with UNO as a stocking stuffer. 

This classic card game comes in a pocket-size, allowing younger children (ages 7 and up) to better hold onto the cards as they play. Enjoy playing games during the holidays and continue playing long after the holidays have ended during car rides and travel.

Give a savory and sweet treat with Sweet Chaos peppermint crunch kettle corn. Each 1.5-ounce bag is stocking stuffer friendly and filled with popcorn drizzled with sweet white and dark icing.

Every stocking needs chocolate, especially Lindt Lindor milk chocolate truffles.
