I'm a gifting expert — here are the 10 best stocking stuffer deals happening now, from $4
Playing Santa this year? Save on these tiny, delightful finds for the whole family.
Don't forget about the little guys this Christmas — and yes, I'm talking about stocking stuffers. When done right, these petite, practical presents have the potential to rival whatever's under the tree. Looking for small-but-mighty ideas that'll steal the show? Scroll through this list of stocking stuffer deals, starting at just $4.
I get it: Stocking stuffers are typically an afterthought, especially if you're spending what little time you have trying to secure the big-ticket buys on your list. As a result, you may get into a cycle of filling stockings with the same old stuff — travel-size toiletries, subpar socks, festive chocolates and other cheap doodads. That ends now because as Yahoo's gifting expert, it's literally my job to find quality gift ideas that are worth your money. These stocking stuffers are exactly that.
Keep scrolling for some of the best stocking stuffer ideas you can grab for a whole lot less. (And while you're in the shopping spirit, take a peek at our main Christmas gift guide for more crowd-pleasers.)

The best stocking stuffer deals
Because self-care is the greatest gift of all. It takes just 15 minutes to reap the benefits of these editor-approved eye masks, which aim to energize tired, puffy eyes with ingredients like sea moss, retinol and hyaluronic acid.
Your handyman has a whole box of tools, but does he have one of these, dare I say, handy gadgets? This extendable flashlight is magnetic, so he can pick up screws, bolts, tools or just about anything else. More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers snagged one in the last month (for stocking stuffers, I'm sure), with one writing that it "saves my knuckles when something I drop goes into that spot you really didn’t want it to go."
Winter weather takes a toll on our skin, and our hands are the first place to show it. Problem solved: Snag a couple of these oat and shea butter hand masks for the coming months. One reviewer said they "make my hands feel like silk," while another raved that "these literally work magic in restoring my skin."
A car vacuum can only do so much. This reusable goo, on the other hand, is specially designed to boldly go into air vents, consoles, steering wheels and other hard-to-clean spots. Press it into the car's nooks and crevices, then pull it away slowly to remove years of dust, dirt and grime.
Stretch and connect these colorful tubes to create different shapes — or, ya know, one absurdly long tube. "They make a crinkle sound when you pull them apart and push them back together, which my kids really enjoy for stimulation," one satisfied shopper wrote. Give one kid the entire four-pack or divvy them up between stockings. They're on sale for 40% off, so it's a great deal either way.
Whether they're out on the slopes or shoveling the driveway, they'll be grateful to have these handy (get it?) doodads within arm's reach. They can stick one in each glove and enjoy up to 12 hours of continuous heat, then pop them into their coat pockets once they're nice and toasty. Grab a set for anyone who gets cold quickly, so everyone? They're a steal at under $20!
Giving pimple patches as a gift? Hear us out on this one. While we typically stay far, far away from targeted skin-care products in stockings, these star-shaped patches have become, dare we say, cool with teens. They come in a bunch of colors — go with yellow to target surface-level spots or blue for deeper, clogged pores.
Get 32 patches in each refillable carrying case. That's a whole lotta bang for your buck!
Buying someone a new pair of AirPods this year? Even if you're not, this 3-in-1 cleaning kit is a must for anyone who wears wireless headphones on the reg. It tackles dirt, dust and unwanted gunk from every angle — the soft brush is delicate enough to clean the earbuds and case's exterior; the flocking sponge removes dust from nooks and crannies; and the metal brush reaches the hardest-to-clean areas.
When's the last time she replaced her makeup sponge? I'm not here to judge, but let's just say it's probably a good idea to give her this five-pack so she can switch out her sponge when it's past the point of cleaning. Get the whole pack for $10 — half the price of a single Beauty Blender. You're not skimping on quality, though: A lot of reviewers say they're a great dupe, with one adding that "I was able to blend out my foundation and concealer with such ease."
Fast food like French fries and chicken nuggets were made for eating in the car, right? But ketchup? Ranch dressing? Not so much. That is, unless you have a Saucemoto Dip Clip. This condiment contraption clips to your car's air vents so you can dip with utmost ease.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
