9 Greatest Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Christmas ornaments can run the gamut, from incredibly special and meaningful to fairly generic and forgettable — this one definitely falls in the former category. The gorgeous collectible hand-painted glass ornament features a charming one-of-a-kind design featuring poinsettias, holly sprigs, and pine needles, and includes an ornament cap and a hanging cord. This is one Christmas decoration that you'll have hanging from your tree year after year.

2. Hot Chocolate Tin Collection

If your Yule log has entered the digital age, then you'll need something to actually keep you warm while you sit around listening to the crackling sounds of fake flames. Nothing is cozier than a warm mug of hot cocoa on Christmas morning. (OK, maybe being wrapped in a Sherpa-lined blanket while sipping the cocoa.) This Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection includes four festive tins, each filled with a different cocoa flavor (peppermint, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel), making it easy to split between stockings. Just add warm water — not to the stocking, of course — to these mugs. Or, for a creamier brew, use warm milk. (Mustache not included.)

3. Chocolate Truffles

If you're looking to sweeten up someone's Christmas, look no further than this box of Limited Edition Holiday Truffles. Six different seasonal flavors, including gingerbread, candy cane, and crème brulée, all handcrafted in the Harry & David candy kitchen (its version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory) perfectly placed in one little box. The chocolate lovers in your life will be thanking you all day (while they wipe the creamy chocolate off their face).

4. Gnome Salt & Pepper Shakers

We all know someone who loves to make their home a winter wonderland. What better gift for them than some winter-themed salt and pepper shakers? This adorable holiday gnome set will bring some cheer to any table throughout the holiday season.

5. Malted Milk Balls Jar

Does anyone really know what malted milk balls are? There's chocolate. There's some kind of crunch inside. The flavor is a bit nutty. Let's forget about those particulars and focus on the overall wonderfulness of these delightful gourmet malted milk balls, which come all snuggled inside a reusable quart jar. If you get these, go ahead and turn it into a challenge to see who can catch the most in their mouth. Guess what the winner gets? Another malted milk ball!

6. Christmas Chocolate Caramel Apples

Let us explain how these apples are made: First, crisp apples are hand-dipped in buttery-smooth caramel. Second, the crisp apples are dipped by hand in the finest Belgian chocolate. Finally, and again by hand, the apples are decorated by master chocolatiers with holiday-themed drizzles and candies. Feel free to read this description over and over and over, slower and slower, and slower.

7. Coffee Assortment

While the kids are sipping on the aforementioned hot cocoa, their parents will be enjoying the wake-up juice you so generously gifted them. (And they'll need it after little Tiffany and Johnny woke up at 4:30 a.m. to start unwrapping their presents.) These exceptional coffees come in three holiday flavors: butterscotch caramel, cinnamon swirl, and dark chocolate candy cane. After a few hours of the hurricane known as Christmas morning comes blowing through, those adults might want to consider making this cup of java a more potent one.

8. Cookie Dough Popcorn

It's almost impossible to describe how delicious this flavor of popcorn is, but we'll give it a go. The good folks at The Popcorn Factory start with cinnamon sugar popcorn — amaze! — then proceed to toss in mini chocolate chip cookie dough bites — our mouths are literally watering — then drizzle it all in white confection — swoon! — and, finally, top the whole darn thing with red and green sprinkles. Go back and read that again, and then tell us this isn't something everyone on your list would want to find in their stocking on Dec. 25. (You're lying if you say it isn't.)

9. Personalized Wine Glass

It's the time of the year when wine lovers break out the Beaujolais Nouveau (or another of their favorite wines), and there's no better way for the oenophile on your list to enjoy a libation than in a personalized, classic modern stemless wine glass. Each one is custom printed with a word or name in your choice of font. With 15 design colors to choose from, it's easy to mix and match a couple or set of four to warm your wine drinker's heart on cold holiday nights.
