As a kid, stockings were a big deal in our house. Santa did an awesome job stuffing them with a combination of fun and functional items. Below is a list of 70+ of the best stocking stuffers for kids that won’t break the bank. Best part? All of the items are fun, useful and under $5!

This list is full of cheap stuffing stocker ideas, nothing is more than $5. There are some items that come in packs, but the price per item is less than $5. This list is geared towards kids, but it’s full of stocking stuffer ideas for everyone! I mean who doesn’t love (or need) a piece of exotic fruit, chapstick, and Band-Aids!
