When it comes to stocking stuffers, the best gift ideas are things people will actually use. Convenient as it might be to wait until December to head to your hometown mall and buy random things on sale, there are so many distinguishable mementos out there that you’d be wise to do your holiday shopping now (and check off one more thing on your impending to-do list).
Because unpacking stockings (or whatever!) is undoubtedly exciting, and we’re already counting down the days until the moment comes, ELLE.com has gone ahead and put together a definitive list of stocking stuffer gift ideas for everyone on your list in 2022. From cult-loved beauty products in fun-size form to classic accessories and thoughtful objects you might not have thought to gift before, the list ahead has every niche covered. And for anyone who swears by Amazon as their one-stop shop, we’ve even featured a range of Prime gifts you can get with free two-day shipping and easy returns (you know, while you’re already adding those extra sink sponges and affordable fall fashion finds to your cart).
Ahead, the best stocking stuffers for women and men to make your gifting a total breeze this year—including some of the best gifts under $50!
