Looking for stocking stuffers? Here are 20 affordable options under $5 you can get before Christmas for everyone on Santa’s list.

Hello stockings.

You look a little empty.

Good thing Christmas morning is on its way.

Do you open stockings on Christmas Eve? Christmas morning? Do you wrap everything in the stockings?

Around here we are all about a stocking. Santa individually wraps everything that goes inside of the stocking and when everyone comes in Christmas morning the stockings are spilling out onto the mantel.

And Santa takes those stockings very seriously and tries SO hard to find unique, creative, one-of-a-kind things that make Christmas morning even more fun.

But here’s the thing–Santa is not a gazillionaire–so all those unique things have to be affordable, too.

I know that Santa is busy and the elves are a little overwhelmed this time of year, so I thought I would make life a little easier so today on DAY FIVE of “Getting Ready for Christmas” I’m sharing some inexpensive stocking stuffer ideas for under $5—the better to plan for December 25.

I tried to find gifts for everyone on Santa’s list.

Here are 21 of the BEST unique stocking stuffers for under $5
