Hi friends! Can you believe how quickly Christmas is approaching? Personally, I CANNOT wait. Opening stockings on Christmas morning is a tradition I have always enjoyed.

I love finding cute, little items that suit a family member’s personality or offer a practical purpose. Since Christmas is approaching fast, I am sharing 25 affordable Christmas gifts and stocking stuffer ideas. They are all $25 or less!

Establishing Christmas Traditions

On Christmas Day with my family, everyone takes a turn going through their stocking. Before any Christmas gifts are opened, we go one by one and item by item. As little kids, gifts from Santa were not wrapped, but were instead displayed with our stocking. Seeing everything from Santa displayed together was always super exciting.

Now, I know it may sound like torture to refrain from opening gifts. But, having that time together to go through our stockings is absolutely one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Similar to the affordable Christmas gifts I have shared with you, our stockings have a mix of candy, beauty products and small items that are just for us. Take a look at my stocking from last year, below.

Affordable Christmas and Stocking Stuffer Gift Ideas

Since I am getting married next year, this Christmas will be the last time my family does the stockings all together. While we will have many future Christmases together, the dynamic will change. Will and I will pass along this tradition to our family. I think carrying on traditions like these can be a meaningful way to stay connected to those you love.

Now, I would love to know about your traditions and your favorite affordable Christmas gifts. Do you have a favorite tradition in your family or did you continue one from your childhood? What do you like to give and receive during the holidays?  Are there any go-to, affordable Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers that you love? Also, stay tuned for the story of my newest Christmas tradition.

Cheers & Happy Holidays!

    I love traditions.Were not that big on Stockings but it is something I have been thinking about starting up this year. Great list of ideas to get me thinking about.

  2. Linh says:

    These are all affordable gifts I’ve been looking for! Christmas is nearing so I’d better buy some of these for my family and friends. Thanks for your suggestions and Merry Christmas!

  3. Thảo Nhi says:

    Christmas is one of my most favourite moments of the year and despite a huge love for choosing gifts for my loved ones, sometimes it is better to take some suggestions into account instead of devoting all my time to it. Your list is just what I’m in need of at the moment – various choices for all ages, omg, how could you even come up with this? Thanks a lot, I really mean that!

  4. Nita says:

    I actually really like the spatula! I hope they do it it red because the theme in my kitchen is like an explosion of tomatoes! 😛 The popsocket is also very pretty!

  5. Life with Larissa says:

    I love the speaker, the socks, the slippers, and the beanie! They could definitely find their way into my stocking and I wouldn’t be upset 😜 But in all seriousness, these are great gifts for those in my life, and I think they’d find some good use for most of these!

  6. Nicole Anderson | Camping for Women says:

    Like you, I just love the traditions that go with Christmas, being a special time for families. This list you have researched and put together is just fabulous. So many great ideas and this is so great for people like me who are behind in getting gifts this year. The are quite a few things here that I would like to check out for certain people I know.

  7. Ayana Christine Nell says:

    My family was the same way! My dad always struggled with it because growing up, his family tore open their gifts all at once and it was over in 5 seconds. I love passing out gifts and checking out what everyone has gotten. It makes the magic last longer! My mom passed away two years ago and my dad moved to Oregon and got married, and my husband isn’t great at the whole ‘stocking’ thing. It’s super sad but I’m trying to train him! In the meantime I have a good time getting them together for my son and my husband! They are definitely my favorite!

  8. Angie says:

    You have great gift ideas for everyone. Thanks for sharing! I love you tradition of not wrapping the Santa presents, wish we would have started that with our kids.

  9. homeboundbuthopeful says:

    I love that you included a game in the list- that looks like such a fun one to play with my brothers- and sisters- in-law after the kiddos are in bed!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
