I love buying Christmas presents of all sizes, including stocking stuffers. I think of small, lower-priced items when I think of stocking stuffers under $5. Things that you can get from a dollar store, things that are add-ons when shopping through Amazon or Walmart. These are the little things that don’t add much cost, they won’t affect your budget too much.
