Best Stocking Stuffers
Great Little Gifts
We have the most fun shopping for stocking stuffers. We can finally buy people all the little things that on their own wouldn’t amount to much of a gift, but when they are put together in a big felt sock with a bunch of other little trinkets, they become exciting and fun.
- Prices and item availability are verified at publication but subject to change over time. While we do our best to keep information updated, if you find changes before we do, click here to give us the 411.
- In most cases, shipping and taxes are additional.
- How about a free gift for yourself, first? If you’d like our “Top Product Pick of the Week” e-mailed to you each Tuesday, click here to sign up for our free newsletter.

The Chocolate Traveler
The Chocolate Traveler chocolates bring from chocolate from the world’s regions—West Africa, South America, and Indonesia—into convenient travel tins. Even more important than traveling with it, the wedge shapes are great portion control. There are Traditional, Classic Dark, International, Seasonal and Sugar-Free collections, each of which offer three to ten flavor varieties. Crème Brulée, a white chocolate, is the most popular flavor.
- Available at Trader Joe’s, CostPlus World
Market and other retailers nationwide

PB Loco Peanut Butters
We can’t stop writing about these flavored peanut butters. Fortunately, they are just slim enough to slide down the average Christmas stocking, so we can give them to our family members who haven’t been introduced to them yet. They are great stocking stuffers for kids and adults and come in fun yet sophisticated flavors like White Chocolate Raspberry, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Sumatra Cinnamon and Raisin.
- 16 Ounce Jar of Flavored Peanut Butter

Sweetriot Chocolate-Covered Cacao Nibs
Got antioxidants? You will when you carry these little treats. Sweetriot’s chocolate-covered cacao nibs come in three varieties: Flavor 50 (covered in 50% cacao chocolate), Flavor 65 (65% cacao) and Flavor 70 (70% cacao with a hint of espresso.) The crunchiness of these little morsels is similar to the crunch of chocolate-covered espresso beans, but the flavor is far more interesting. The slender tins are adorned with art by up-and-coming artists. The first series of tins features artist Mike Hammer, and they’re useful for storing all sorts of things after the nibs have been gobbled up.

Oral Fixation Mints
These clever, flat cases of mints are a fun stocking stuffer for any age group. The Oral Fixation website allows you to customize a box of 12 tins, if you want to make it more than a stocking stuffer. Mojito Mint is the number one flavor, but our own numero uno is Night Light, which is chai-flavored.
