Walmart is the place to find stocking stuffers that don’t feel like an afterthought, and there’s something for everyone on your list. The retailer has a solid mix of classics, small treats, and genuinely useful things under $5 right now. Here are 18 finds we think will make great stocking stuffers.
Kinder Joy Eggs
Both a treat and a tiny toy, Walmart has the holiday Kinder Joy 3-count pack for $4.87, which is a solid deal. You can split the eggs into different stockings if you have multiple kids in the household, or just be very generous.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas Mug
The mean green one might try to steal Christmas, but he won’t succeed against a bundle that includes a 10 oz mug and a packet of hot cocoa. And for $4.96, this set feels more like a gift than a stocking stuffer.
Holiday Time Wreath Earrings
Deck the stocking of any holiday-obsessed person with these jolly wreath earrings. At $5, they’re detailed with green and red accents, and finished with a bow that makes it clear this is a Christmas-only accessory.
Brach’s Peppermint Christmas Nougat
Brach’s Peppermint Christmas Nougats come in an 11-ounce bag for $4.32, with individually wrapped pieces that are soft, chewy, and heavy on peppermint — plus, they’re easy to portion out for stockings.
Dr Teal’s Aromatherapy Sleep Wellness Spray and Body Cream Duo
A great “treat yourself” stuffer, this little Dr Teal’s duo at $3 pairs a lavender sleep spray with a rich body cream that leans into magnesium, shea butter, and cocoa butter.

At $4.97, a four-pack of ChapStick Toasty Treats lip balm breaks down to about $1.24 per stick, making it easy to spread across multiple stockings as a practical cold-weather extra. The set includes four holiday flavors — Gingerbread Cookie, Spiced Apple Crumble, Warm Cinnamon Roll, and Candy Cane — packaged in seasonal “ugly sweater” designs.
Pringles Original Potato Crisps Chips, Holiday
A 1.3-ounce Pringles canister in holiday gift-size packaging makes sense for a stocking. It costs $1, so you can buy a few for each stocking without being called Ebenezer.

The pajamas use a zipper closure ( a godsend) and come in sizes 0M to 24M.
Home Scented Aromatherapy Candles
Discounted from $6.90 to $4.99, this edgy Giunmcul scented candle looks elegant enough to be small gift material, but it also fits great as a stocking. It’s a container candle with an aromatherapy scent profile that leans towards lemon and orange.

Cholula Extra Hot Sauce
Every household has that one person with indestructible taste buds who treats regular hot sauce like ketchup. For them, Cholula Extra Hot Sauce makes sense as a stocking stuffer. The 5-ounce glass bottle costs $3.82, and it’s noticeably hotter than standard Cholula — but still meant for everyday food.
Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzels
For the snacky snackers, this is a nice add-on because it’s a big, shareable bag with bite sized salty crunchy pretzels. The 16-ounce family size is currently marked down to $3.13, so this is no-brainer stocking stuffer.
