If you asked my grown boys what their favorite part of Christmas morning is (after celebrating our Lord’s birth), they would undoubtedly tell you it’s the stockings. I think they got that from me. But sometimes stocking stuffers can be challenging. We don’t want more stuff to fill up our already overflowing junk drawers. I start shopping for stocking stuffers in January, so here you have my curated list for the 50 best stocking stuffer ideas for teens, adults and in-laws for 2022!
Which one or two are your favorites? I’d love to hear any stocking stuffer suggestions you have in the comments below!
In the coming weeks, I’ll also share great shopping ideas for readers and writers as well as a grouping of the best books to add to your reading list, so stay tuned!

Give the Gift of a Good Day
What we focus on grows. So, when our feelings or our circumstances take us down the negativity rabbit hole, our perception of our whole day becomes darkened. Yet, when we train our brains to focus on the truth of God’s character and His promises, our perspective of our day changes and any day can be a good day. This book was birthed out of an extremely painful time in my life when I needed a reason to go on, and I needed something to cling to. One by one, I clung on to God’s promises, I began to rise above my devastating circumstances, and you can too. Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises From God to Start Your Day Off Right helps start your day on a positive note to carry you through the rest of the day. Buy on Amazon

Hot Hands Hand Warmers
The Hot Hands hand warmers are perfect for any stocking…the athlete that practices outside in winter months, the employee who spends their day working outside in cooler temps, or the sports enthusiast who sits in the windy stands. I’m wishing I had some of these during our trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula when the temperatures and windchill were below freezing and we were sightseeing outside! Buy from Amazon

While this umbrella is sure to stick out beyond a stocking, I had to include it in the list of suggestions because this was one of my favorite gifts a couple of years ago, and a different design but still inverted umbrella was one of my son’s favorite gifts this year! Because of it’s design, it helps keep the water out when folding it up and putting it in a car on the rainy day. Buy from Amazon

Good Dog Reward Training Treats
Even my dogs have small stockings that hang from the hearth. If you have a dog you love to provide treats for, consider these KIWI Peak dog treats that are all natural, grain free.

It seems we never have enough cup holders or the right size in my husband’s vehicle. So, he loved it when I gave him this 2-in-1 car cup holder expander to give us not only an additional cupholder, but also a larger holder for larger beverages. It has an adjusting rotatable base for saving space. Buy from Amazon

Where has this been all my life? When my stylist introduced me to this brush, I thought “what’s the big deal? It’s a brush!” But this is the best detangling brush to use on wet hair.

While I won’t make medical claims, tart cherry extract has found to be useful for reducing joint pain, muscle recovery, and promoting good sleep. I take them as part of my strong antioxidant support. Buy from Amazon
Metal Stencil Bookmark
Many of my author friends tell me that once they began bullet journaling, they never went back to a traditional journal. When I bought my first bullet journal, I also got this great stencil bookmark specifically made for bullet journaling, but have found many other uses! Buy from Amazon
