Costco might seem like the last place you’d go for stocking stuffers, but bulk works in your favor here. One pack of anything can turn into five gifts, and you can take care of a whole household for less than you’d spend running store to store.
Here we found 16 ideas that can work as great stocking stuffers without stretching your budget.
Ferrero Rocher, Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Candy
Feeling a little biased writing this while tossing the wrapper from the Ferrero Rocher I just ate, but this is genuinely one of the best things you can put in a stocking. And Costco makes it absurdly easy to look generous by selling the big 48-count box at $18.99. Divide it between several stockings and keep the rest for yourself.
Apple AirTag
If you have people in your family who lose everything short of their own shoes, an AirTag is what each of them needs. Costco sells a four-pack for $74.99, so you can split them between multiple stockings. Each AirTag works through Apple’s Find My app, has a replaceable battery that lasts over a year, and is water- and dust-resistant.
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Conditioning Lip Balm
This is probably the gold standard of Costco stocking stuffers. Costco offers eight tubes of Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm for $20.99, which makes it easy to drop one into every stocking and still have extras to hoard for yourself. It’s winter after all, and chapped lips are bound to happen. The pack includes Burt’s classic beeswax-and-peppermint formula and a couple of ultra-conditioning sticks.
CAT LED Neck Light, 2-pack
This is a nifty little stocking stuffer for anyone in your life that enjoys reading in the dark, or is a late-night dog walker or jogger. The CAT LED Neck Lights come in a 2-pack for $29.99, and are hands-free flashlights that sit around your neck. Each light has pivoting heads that tilt up to 90 degrees, and the brightness ranges from 100 to 200 lumens. A very practical stocking stuffer, and it comes as a pair, so you’re technically getting two gifts out of one purchase.
Stonewall Kitchen Holiday Collection, Sampler Gift Pack
Giving someone jam or jelly is always a safe bet, especially for a stocking stuffer. Everybody likes jam. Costco’s Stonewall Kitchen Holiday Sampler goes for $34.99, which might seem expensive at first, but it comes with six mini jars — jams, jellies, and mustards — so it actually works out as a solid deal for stocking add-ons. The box includes Wild Maine Blueberry Jam, Raspberry Peach Champagne Jam, Red Pepper Jelly, Holiday Jam, and two fancy mustards shrunk into stocking-friendly sizes.

Dionis Goat Milk Hand Cream
The Dionis Goat Milk Hand Cream comes in a 3-pack and costs $24.99. Each tube is built around goat milk, which is naturally rich in fatty acids and tends to absorb quickly without that greasy aftermath everyone hates. It’s paraben-free and moisturizes well instead of just sitting there smelling nice.
“I like their scents and more importantly I find that it moisturizes without feeling greasy or just sitting on top of my skin,“ a customer said on Reddit. “I love it! Super soft without being greasy and smells incredible!” added another.
Kirkland Signature Men’s Athletic Sock
Don’t listen to the young kids who say socks are a boring gift. After all, you can never have enough pairs of socks. The Kirkland athletic socks come in an 8-pack, they’re cushy without being bulky, and they hold up way longer than the $14.99 price suggests.
Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark
If there’s not one peppermint bark in the stocking, is it even Christmas? The Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Collection (16.2 oz for $19.99, sold in sets of two) makes it easy. The bag is loaded with individually wrapped peppermint bark squares and little snowmen, so you can divvy them up or keep a stash for yourself.
