Need some last-minute trinkets? Here are a dozen great Aldi stocking stuffers that your whole family will love … and that will still leave some money in your wallet.
Peppermint Pretzel Stars

Anyone with a sweet tooth will be happy to find candy in their stocking, especially if it involves white chocolate and peppermint. Aldi sells Clancy’s Peppermint Pretzel Stars — white chocolate–dipped pretzels sprinkled with crushed peppermint and shaped like stars — for $3.29 a bag.
Peppermint Flavored Kettle Corn

Here’s a nice add-on that goes for $2.55. You can grab a few of Clancy’s Peppermint Flavored Kettle Corn and use them across stockings or gift bags. The kettle corn has a light peppermint flavor and a candy coating, which makes it a perfect snack for holiday movie nights.
