Amazing Frugal Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Stocking stuffers can be so much fun! My husband and I really only exchange stockings each year rather than big gifts. I like to fill his up with a mix of practical things and fun goodies.
However, it’s quite easy to get carried away buying all sorts of fun little things to add to the stockings, so I’ve compiled a list of frugal stocking stuffers to make shopping easier. I think you’re going to love the list!

Have you got any other ideas? What do you normally add to stockings?
I have always couponed and joined every sample website available in Canada. I start in January ordering free samples, work all sales, coupon for the best deals and never ever use a credit card for Christmas. This way I can not only do stocking stuffers for the kids and grandkids but also contribute to my church and the local food bank. At church I am given scrapes if wool (1/2 skein or more) and throughout the year as I accumulate the wool I knit slippers for the local woman’s shelter.
Gold chocolate coins, are a given in our family!
And a Loonie
Chocolate letters,
maybe some wine.lol and a lump of coal….
