There are two kinds of gifts in today’s world: Big-ticket items that are typically more expensive, and smaller stocking stuffers that can be equally as thoughtful—without the hefty price tag attached.
But the price constraint can actually sometimes make these smaller presents harder to find when you’re trying to find a gift under a certain amount for each person on your list—questions like “would they actually use this?” and “do they have it or something like this already?” swirl around your head as you examine your options.
Don’t worry—sometimes you just need a little inspo to find the perfect, budget-friendly stocking stuffer ideas that you know the people in your life will genuinely enjoy and use often.
To make your life a little easier, check out these 10 stocking stuffer ideas, all of which are under $20 and you can pick up at your local CVS (where, if all else fails, you can always grab a gift card). Here’s to finding stocking stuffers that your giftee will love just as much as the big-ticket presents they receive.
