Where to Find Inexpensive Stocking Stuffers

Tips for Buying Inexpensive Stocking Stuffers

Stick to a budget. The same way you have a set amount you want to spend on presents, you should have a limit to what you spend on your stocking stuffers. If not, you can wind up grabbing a lot of little gifts that really add up.

Shop at the right places. A great place to shop for stocking stuffers is any dollar store [5]. Check the “dollar bins” at department stores. Craft stores are a good place to find inexpensive craft projects, stickers, and more. Used book stores can have small books for a low cost. You can even use free samples of perfumes and cosmetics from department stores.
