The Greatest Stocking Stuffer Ideas. Ever.

Unwrapping gifts under the tree takes soooo long, right? Going to town on what's inside a stocking is where all the action is at.

Stocking stuffers are often the first thing your family opens on Christmas. They're just hanging in that giant sock that hangs from the mantel, waiting to be attacked. (What do you do if you don't have a mantel? Are you allowed to hang stockings from some other place? Who do we talk to about this?) Anywho, Christmas stockings should not only be hung from the mantel with care, but also stuffed full with small gifts and gourmet treats that everyone can enjoy throughout the holidays.

We've put together a list of our favorite stocking stuffer ideas that your loved ones will delight in pulling out of their stockings come Christmas morning.

I love the word heritage. It's used to describe things that have been around a while, are durable, and you can count on it; as well as tradition. That’s what these chocolates are. They’ve been getting made in the Harry & David Candy Kitchen for decades. You can count on the 15 pieces of classic chocolates being delicious and putting a smile on anyone’s face.

Let us explain how these apples are made: First, crisp apples are hand-dipped in buttery-smooth caramel. Second, the crisp apples are dipped by hand in the finest Belgian chocolate. Finally, and again by hand, decorated by master chocolatiers with holiday-themed drizzles and candies. Feel free to read this description over and over and over, slower and slower, and slower.

Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection

Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection

Shop : Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection from Harry & David

If your Yule log has entered the digital age, then you'll need something to actually keep you warm while you sit around listening to the crackling sounds of fake flames. Nothing is cozier than a warm mug of hot cocoa on Christmas morning. (OK, maybe being wrapped in a Sherpa-lined blanket while sipping the cocoa.) This Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection includes four festive tins, each filled with a different cocoa flavor (peppermint, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel), making it easy to split between stockings. Just add warm water — not to the stocking, of course — to any mug. Or, for a creamier brew, use warm milk. Mustache not included.

While the kids are sipping on the aforementioned hot cocoa, their parents will be enjoying the wake-up juice you so generously gifted them. (And they'll need it after little Tiffany and Johnny woke up at 4:30 a.m. to start tearing into their presents.) After a few hours of the hurricane known as Christmas morning comes blowing through, those adults might want to consider making this cup of java a more potent one.
