6 Must-Have Stocking Stuffers for 2016

Stocking stuffers are one of the best highlights of the holiday season. Whether they're filled with candy, gadgets, or knickknacks, stockings serve mostly to keep you entertained while you begrudgingly wait to open the big presents. Using these stuffers this year will take your stockings way beyond simply Christmas “leftovers.”

  1. Personalized M&M’s
    Who doesn’t love M&M’s? Everyone loves these candy-coated little chocolates! Show someone how much you love them with a personalized message or just their name on the candy. They make great stocking stuffers because you can munch on them while chatting with your family! Plus, you can put portraits or other custom images on the surface. Finding these special M&M’s in a stocking will definitely be a highlight of this holiday.
  2. Banned Books Socks
    Banned Book Week may have already passed, but you can always show off your love for literature with these great socks. One showcases titles of books that were previously banned while the other shows the censored version—which frankly just makes us sad. Plus, for each pair you buy, the company donates a book! They’re made of cotton, nylon, and spandex, and are perfect to warm your toes with by the fire.
  3. Warm Touchscreen Gloves
    The weather is getting colder, and it won’t be long before gloves are a necessity to keep hands warm and comfy. That makes gloves the perfect stocking stuffer to keep loved one’s hands out of the freezing weather. Plus, they can still keep in touch with you, as the gloves allow the wearer to use all ten fingers on the touchscreen!
  4. Carry-On Cocktail Kit
    We’ve all been in a situation where we wish we had a drink but there wasn’t a drop in sight. The Carry-On Cocktail Kit is the perfect size to carry around and stuff into a stocking. This brand comes in five different flavors including Bloody Mary, Old Fashioned, Gin & Tonic, Champagne Cocktail, and Moscow Mule. Each tin makes two drinks and contains bar spoon, mix, and everything you’d need to mix the perfect drink. All you need to add is the little bottle of alcohol from the airline stewardess. Long flights will be much more sophisticated with this cocktail kit.
  5. Butterfinger Bites Lumps of Coal
    Let everyone know exactly who’s been naughty this season with a lump of coal! Not real coal. These are little Butterfinger Bites and much more delicious than your average coal. They’re also much less messy. Stuff these into stockings for a good joke and a great conversation piece. Plus, they’re bite-sized and shareable. Perfect for the season!
  6. Binge-Watching Survival Kit
    With the arrival of the holidays, everyone is off work and school, which means it’s time to finish the latest season of your favorite show…in one week. This Binge-Watching Survival Kit makes a great stocking stuffer. Each kit contains two drink coasters, sofa yoga guide, a pack of tissues, a pair of socks, two mini forks, a chip clip, deodorant, stain remover, hand sanitizer wipes, breath drops, floss, and a “Keep Watching” decision coin. With all this stuff, the only other things you might need are a glass of wine and popcorn.
