In 2017, my mom made the most adorable, personalized stockings for my family. I hung them next to our wood stove in great anticipation of the next year when I would have a little boy to fill them for. That is what inspired this list of stocking stuffers under $10. The next year came, and despite my baby being so young, I was eager for Christmas morning and watching him open…errr…correction, chew open his stocking. But as I filled his stocking and came to the realization that there are few stocking stuffers for kids that are inexpensive, and children will use them after opening their stockings.

Baby Stocking Stuffers
I don’t know about you, but I have spent some serious dough trying to find teethers that my baby likes! All those teeth coming is tough work! I love how easy these are to grasp and all the textures. The maracas are fantastic! I keep one in my car at all times. My little BaaBoo is perplexed by them, which keeps him occupied when the car rides get a little long.
