What is the most common stocking stuffer?
Most people tend to stuff their stockings with small, inexpensive items that are easy to fit inside a stocking and appeal to a wide range of people.
Candy and chocolate, gift cards, and cosy socks are perennial favourites, along with skincare items like lip balm, mini-games or toys, and small ornaments.
Stationery and toiletries are also common, especially since they’re useful during holiday travels.
