I’ve seen $50 electronic items advertised as stocking stuffers. But for me that seems way extravagant. I think the term refers to candy and silly little goobers, that cost a few bucks. But I know inflation has been crazy so maybe my sense of numbers just hasn’t caught up. Thoughts?
I’m travelling for work in New York. I’m considering the “cashmere” scarfs that street vendors are selling. Under $10.
I thought it was the size of the item rather than its cost. So a small expensive item could be a stocking stuffer, but a large cheap one would not be. I’m probably clueless though.
However much Terry’s chocolate orange is.
I usually associate stocking stuffers to under $5 or even $10.
But it could also mean, “small enough to get lost under the tree” so you put it in the stocking so it isn’t misplaced in all the wrapping paper and boxes.
“Stocking stuffers” in my home are there to keep the kids occupied when it’s not their turn to open gifts.
Maybe $25 total in a stocking.
That seems right. Generally stocking stuffers are a few wee candies or toys to fidget with. Less memorable and more about rounding out the day.
Aldi has a pack of 5 small chocolate bars for like 2.80. It’s stupidly good chocolate too. That’s a stocking stuffer if ever there was one.
Aldi chocolate is a hidden treasure!
Absolutely. I’m spoiled to where I am suddenly tasting the wax in regular Hershey’s bars
My stocking stuffers every year are: $150 in scratch off tickets, a multipack of chapstick, and chocolates
