35 Christmas Stocking Stuffer Gift ideas for Kids 2024

The thing about holiday traditions is they’re unique to each family! Some people open their stocking gifts on Christmas Eve and do presents the next morning. Others leave freshly filled stockings in bedrooms to be opened first thing in the morning. Still others do stocking stuffers only. However your family operates, we’ve got Christmas stocking stuffer ideas to spark those holiday smiles! Our list includes meaningful little gifts for fans, like blind-box collectibles; cheap-and-cheerful little toys for babies and toddlers, like bath toys and vehicle collections; and fun toys for school-age kids like adorable doll play sets, and fun plush. We’ve got your pre-teens and tweens covered, too, with multi-sensory fidget toys, DIY jewellery kits, arts and crafts activities, and superhero action figures. And even though they’re older, we have toy options for a teenage boy and teenage girl – even the fun-for-life grownups we call kidults. Think cute retro plush, and pop culture figures featuring characters from favourite TV shows and book series. And with similar entertainment themes, we’ve got engrossing maker kits that combine unboxing, crafting, and collecting. The best stockings have a mix of fun and silly stuff – mystery toys and cute collectibles – and fun crafts, games or activities to look forward to working on, and of course, some sweet stuff to sock away or to share! The big drama of the holiday is often under a tree, but stocking stuffers offer the opportunity to feed a fandom, spark kids’ imaginations – maybe even take a bit of a risk! !

 

1. Spidey and His Amazing Friends Vehicles 10pk

2. ZURU Smashers Mini Light Up Dino Surprise Egg

 

Great stocking stuffers for kids check several boxes: they have a surprise factor, a maker factor, and a collector factor. ZURU Smashers Mini Light Up Dino Surprise Eggs also have a sensory factor: the components of a mystery dino are hidden inside two different textures of slime! There is gooey lava slime and crystalline amber slime to excavate. Kids then assemble either a T-Rex, Spinosaurus, or Stegosaurus and flick the tail switch to light up their cool dino collectible.

Peppa Pig in the family red car, Grandpa Pig in his boat, George in a motorhome, Pedro Pony in a school bus, and Rebecca Rabbit in a helicopter. Prepare for lots of road-trip adventures….

 

8. Franklin Sports NHL® Foam Mini Hockey Pucks

 

When it’s time to ponder stocking stuffers, here’s the best gift for girls and boys who love hockey! Stock up for your indoor mini-sticks players so that when the next puck goes wild and ends up behind the sofa or under the bookshelf – or the dog runs off with one in the middle of a game – kids have backups. Each 2” puck is made from soft, vinyl-coated foam to keep kids and furniture safer. Game on!

 

9. My Little Pony Mini World Magic Epic Mini Crystal Brighthouse

 

If you need a last-minute pick for a kid who loves My Little Pony, this is it! Based on the My Little Pony: Tell Your Tales web series, this buildable play set lets kids recreate fave episodes and imagine their own! Fans can build a customizable layout with scenes from the show and fun accessories, some of which change colour in water! There are even five teeny 1” pony figures included AND the set doubles as a carrying case.

 

10. Hatchimals Alive Carton

 

Like the bigger versions, kids “love” these colourful little Hatchimal eggs to life by removing their pacifiers and “feeding” them water to activate the self-hatching process! They’ll crack open to reveal five cute little friends and adorable music-inspired accessories for hours of imaginative fun. (Some of the pieces are quite small, so it’s best for kids ages three and up.) It’s a Christmas stocking stuffer with loads of play value: the egg carton case locks securely so kids can take their show on the road.

 

11. TechDeck Fingerboards: Sk8 shop Bonus Pack

 

This sick stocking stuffer puts the x-treme in Xmas! This set includes the components for three complete mini skateboards: decks, wheels, hardware, stickers, and a tool.

12. B. Toys Mini Monster Trucks

 

Any preschooler will tell you that the only thing better than a monster truck is LOTS OF MONSTER TRUCKS. These half-dozen trucks are perfectly sized for little hands, so kids can play with friends! Between the size and the quantity, it’s easy to have one always on hand: in the diaper bag, the car, the bathroom…. (One reviewer did say that these make great head massagers for adults, so pass that along to your kids if you’d like them to test this technology.)

 

13. Elf on the Shelf Mini Figures

 

We have observed that families that do Elf on the Shelf, go ALL IN on Elf on the Shelf. So they’ve likely seen all the Elf Pets animated specials and would LOVE these sweet seasonal holiday gift blind-bag toys containing one of the Scout Elf or Elf Pet characters! (We think that chonky reindeer is the cutest.) There are eight to collect – a meaningful gift for kids whose holiday memories are so entwined with the Scout Elf tradition.

 

14. Harry Potter x Miniverse Make It Mini – Potions

 

This is a spellbinding stocking stuffer gift for tweens who are deep into the Harry Potter Wizard World: an enchanting mix of craft experience, collectible, and surprise toy. Each capsule includes the materials to create a mini replica of a Hogwarts-level potion: Polyjuice Potion, Felix Felicis, Skele-Grow, and more! Once the teeny elements are in the bottle, makers use UV light to cure the resin and complete their craft. A cool touch: the packaging becomes an on-theme display case!

 

15. Fluffie Stuffiez Minis

 

Sensory-play toys are having a moment: great goodies with satisfying textures and textile elements for touchy-feely fun. Fluffie Stuffiez feature a fuzzy outer layer kids can pinch and pull away to reveal a squishy figure within! These surprise collectibles are mini but not TOO mini: they’re about palm-sized for kids so they make effective fidget toys for people who like to have something soft to squeeze and squish. Each pack comes with a pair of Fluffie Stuffiez pals.

 

16. Miniverse Make It Mini Food: Hershey Multipack

 

There’s just something about teeny tiny food that kids LOVE, and it’s even better when they make that miniature themselves! This irresistible mix of craft and collectible includes 30 pieces to create five “recipes” from the folks at Hershey. Kids assemble the recipe, then apply resin and set it with UV light to create a display-worthy piece. It’s an awesome gift for girls and boys who love candy, sure, but also with an interest in food science and design.

 

17. Calico Critters: Connor & Kerr’s Carriage Ride

 

The charming set is expensive as stocking stuffers go, but it will provide immense play value for imaginative kids. The Calico Critters aesthetic is sweet and simple: flocked figures of adorable animals in old-fashioned outfits – even the twin baby bunnies! The classic carriage with its lacy canopy fits both babies for long walks and outdoor adventures. Whether this set stands alone or becomes a gateway into the immense Calico Critters universe, kids will fall in love with this trio.

 

18. Rainbow Brite Cheebee Micro Figures

 

Parents and even grandparents who remember the original Rainbow Brite will love introducing a new generation to these colourful characters! Any student of retro appeal knows that a beloved ‘80s cartoon is ripe for reintroduction and these adorable 1.5-inch figures call out to be collected. Each “pudding-cup” contains two of 20 characters, so kids can peel and reveal who is inside! There are three rare and three ultra-rare figures, but we think the sprites and the villains Murky Dismal and Lurky are the CUTEST.

 

19. Little People Collector: Friends – The Television Series

 

This set is essentially The One That’s an Amazing Stocking Stuffer for Teens. The beloved ’90s sitcom has ensnared a new generation, so fans of all ages have a shot at getting the references. The Little People-ified cast are SO cute! There’s Chef Monica; Chandler with Duck; Rachel in her Central Perk apron; Phoebe hiding that stain with a Christmas bow; Ross in leather pants; and Joey in ALL of Chandler’s clothes, because opposite is opposite.

 

20. Li’l Woodzeez Famileez: Digglesby Dog Family

 

Who could resist this collection of delightful doggos? It’s a super-cute mixed clan of bulldogs and beagles: two parents, two older kids, and best of all, a set of baby TRIPLETS! Kids can swap their diapers, dresses, shirts and trousers as a good exercise of fine motor skills and a silly way to imagine each family member’s characteristics. As an intro to the Li’l Woodzeez world or as a standalone play set, these pups make a perfect stocking stuffer.

 

21. Miniverse Make It Mini: Lifestyle – Series 2

 

Of all the Make It Mini themes, this is one of the most sophisticated. The mystery miniature inside isn’t based on a fandom or brand – it’s just a lovely wee teapot, candle, flower vase or other décor item. Teenage makers will love the detail work of assembling the replicas from the tiny components and the mindful process of applying and setting the resin to create their display pieces. It’s a surprise stocking stuffer for the more mature maker-kid.

 

22. Lionel Disney100 Celebration Ready-to-Play Train Set

 

A train set is a classic holiday gift – this anniversary edition set is an inexpensive option that will delight Disney fans young and old. The battery-operated locomotive has a working headlight and is trailed by colourful coaches as it makes its way around a 24-piece track. It even plays looping announcements and authentic train sounds. It’s a charming gift for kids and parents to build together – it might even spark an interest in more complex model trains!

24. Funko Mystery Minis – Minions: The Rise of Gru

 

It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is no such thing as too many Minions. Fans of all ages will appreciate these quirky collectible miniatures of those funny yellow fellows and their friends. Which one of 12 is stuffed in that stocking? Maybe it’s Young Gru, Flight Attendant Bob, Bathrobe Stuart, Pilot Kevin, Tim Bear, Overalls Bob, Roller Skating Stuart, Pet Rock Otto, 70s Bob, Pajama Bob, Track Suit Otto, or our Kill Bill-esque fave: Kung Fu Kevin.

 

25. Li’l Woodzeez Famileez: Daintypaw Cat Family

 

Here’s an adorable stocking stuffer for the youngest cat people: a whole fuzzy family of felines. These poseable figures span three generations of kitty friends: grandparents, parents, and three grandkids, including twins! There are names for each and lore that sets up the clan in the Li’l Woodzeez universe, but they also stand alone as a nice family of pretend-play characters kids can imagine adventures for. Bonus: the outfits are removeable to swap and share.

 

26. Polly Pocket: Camp Adventure Llama Compact

 

The unique scale of Polly Pocket is perfect for stocking stuffers! Inside the sturdy llama-face case is a terrific tiny play set loaded with fun features. There’s a tent to house the pet llama, a fold-down lemonade stand and cooler, a sleeping bag, and more! Best of all is the stage with flip-up doors and a spinning platform for the two micro dolls to show off their moves! Kids can even use the wristlet strap to take their imaginative adventures on the road.

Kids choose 15 prospective pets to craft, and then they can assemble the multilevel truck for pretend adoption events!

 

29. Pinky Promise: Gemmy Friends 12pk

 

More than just cute collectibles, the 12 bright-eyed, crown-wearing jewel characters in this set are also compatible with two sweet wearable accessories: a hair clip and a bracelet.

Those are just some of the best Christmas stocking stuffers from among the thousands and thousands of fun little toys we swim in every day. Stocking stuffer gifts for baby can be simple: linking rings or other clip-on toys for a stroller or car seat; a silly rattle or teether; exciting bathtub toys; or even something practical but adorable like multipacks of sweet socks. There are loads more gifting ideas to choose from as they get older: cute little gifts for kids like pots of modelling dough; sets of washable markers; travel games; or small toys like a yo-yo or die-cast car. You can always coordinate stuffers with the bigger gifts for girls: adding to their menagerie of plush, to the cupboard of craft supplies with fun stationery items or art supplies, or bonus rubber bands or beads for jewellery making kits. Same goes for gifts for boys: you can spin off from the items from under the tree: accessories for action figure play sets; trading cards; or small building toys compatible with their larger sets. The best stocking gifts for teens include collectibles based on their favourite video games, TV shows, movies and books. For stocking stuffer gifts for teen boys consider accessories for their bigger gifts, like replacement darts for blasters, or even decks of cards, 3D puzzles or other brain games. Little gifts for teen girls might include lip balm, a cute character keychain, hair chalk or nail art supplies, stress putty, or fidget toys. Go get those stocking stuffers, Canada!
