What to put in a toddler’s stocking…

Ahhh, the Christmas stocking. So many beautiful memories of us kids crowded around the fireplace on Christmas morning scoping out our treasures from Santa Claus.

Being on the other side of this tradition, as a mom myself, I quickly learned stocking stuffers can really add up to a lot of $$$!

I dove deep this year and came up with a list of 30 toddler stocking stuffer ideas that are actually useful and fun, and come in under $10 each (many are well under $10!).

Happy shopping!

Etsy is a gold mine for adorable, fashionable face masks. I am obsessed with these, and they have so many cute patterns! It doesn’t look like face masks are going away anytime soon, so they could be a perfect, practical stocking stuffer this year.

Cute slippers are another cozy stocking stuffer! I love these bear slippers, and they have great reviews too!

Final thoughts on toddler stocking stuffers…

Last but not least, don’t forget to put an orange in the toe of the stocking! This tradition comes from the legend of St. Nicholas, where he was helping a family by providing spheres of gold to their three daughters. The orange today represents the gold sphere of the past. You can read more about this tradition and legend here at the Smithsonian.

Have a magical Holiday season!
