Hot take: Sometimes stocking stuffers are the best presents. They may be tiny, but often, they're practical, thoughtful, cute little gifts—and as someone who lives in Manhattan, I appreciate the minimalism of it all! Seriously, though, if you're looking for one last little present to finish off a bigger gift or something to contribute to a sibling's stocking on Christmas morning, there are tons of cute stocking stuffers for women that don't require an XL box for that wow factor.
Because let's be honest, there are a lot of good gift ideas that are 10/10 but might feel a little lacking on their own due to size. That's where the stocking comes in! I write tons of gift guides every year, and over the past few weeks, but together this list of the best stocking stuffers for women of 2025. Think affordable beauty products, little luxuries, fun mini gadgets and tech gifts, and accessories that will wow, ahead for your shopping pleasure.
This monogrammed page marker is adorable for the person who spends most of her life either buried in a book or scrolling through BookTok for her next read. You can choose between a spring, summer, fall, or winter color scheme!
This practical pack will be ideal for hikes, concerts, and travels. It's water-repellant with an adjustable strap that can be worn either crossbody or around the waist.
Claw clips are one of those things that you always need, always lose, and never want to buy for yourself... which means that they're the perfect stocking stuffer. The rhinestone name personalization is just the cherry on top.
I personally love these hand sanitizers because they dispense a perfectly fine mist rather than gloops of gel. This fresh-smelling set contains the Mint, Citrus, and Lemon Lime scents.
These sweet makeup pouches come in 10 different stripe colors and can be customized with any name or word on the front! Perfect for makeup, toiletries, chargers, or any other little knick-knacks.
With the gift of this handy printer, your friend can turn any digital image into a customizable physical copy via Bluetooth and thermal paper. Oh, and the best part is it’s small enough to carry around with you wherever you go.
This is the easiest way to store bracelets, earrings, or whatever else they need on the go without everything getting tangled. This one comes with a built-in mirror and you can customize it with any initial and colorway.
Is the giftee planning on having a Ralph Lauren Christmas? These sweet bear socks will round out their holiday outfits. I've been seeing lots of people style these with loafers or fun sneakers, and honestly, I'll probably snag myself a pair, too.
Eliminating that awful feeling of water running down their forearms as they wash their face? It’s a Christmas miracle!
Tweezers are one of those things that I can never seen to keep handy. Having a pointed tip and blunt tip option in a handy carrying case would totally change that.
This key chain alarm can be easily carried around on a key ring or bag, and when activated, lets off a strobe light and a very loud siren. It may not be the most glamorous, but it's always good to have on hand.
Merit just launched a sheen version of their beloved matte eyeshadow pots, and as a big fan of one-swipe-and-done makeup, I’d be delighted to find this in the toe of my stocking. It's extremely easy to apply and looks like you spent a lot of time blending out your eyeshadow.
I'm sure they need new tank tops, especially if they're as good as my current favorite: the Blondie tank from perfectwhitetee. What makes it so good? It's completely bra-friendly, will cover your straps, and has the perfect stretchiness to thickness ratio.
This TikTok-beloved K-beauty sheet mask is filled with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen, and niacinamide. Simply wear it for a few hours or keep it on overnight to let your skin absorb alllll the hydration.
This e.l.f. primer won best makeup primer of 2025 in Cosmo’s Reader’s Choice Beauty Awards thanks to its staying power and affordability. "This made my makeup stick for a full day out in the sun,” one reviewer raved.
These pretty keychains come in multiple colors and can be monogrammed for an extra personal touch. They can use this to spice up their keys or to easily identify their suitcase.
The easiest way to learn how to crochet? Making a stuffed animal with this little craft kit. It comes with the yarn and supplies you'll need along with a QR code that leads to a step-by-step video tutorial.
I'm on Team Put-Everyday-Essentials-In-Stockings, and yes, that includes toothpaste. If you're on dental TikTok (don't ask me how I, a shopping editor, got there) you know that everyone's been raving about nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste that actually remineralizes the teeth. Sick! It also comes in a chic tube... I'm just saying!
This tiny gadget is a tracking device they can attach to their keys or slip into their wallet, and they’ll be able to see its location in the Find My app on their iPhone. Trust, it’ll come in so clutch for the person who’s always losing things.
YSL's popular Libre perfume and their beloved lip oil stick (one of my personal favorites) make for great mini luxury stocking stuffers. Seriously, you get $51 worth of value for just $36! Pro tip: Take it out of the box if it doesn't fit... or hang the ornament on the tree!
