Each year the feast of St. Nicholas seems to sneak right up on us after the Thanksgiving holiday! That leaves me scrambling for stocking stuffer ideas that my children will love! My children enjoy celebrating this feast day in part because it makes it really begin to feel like Christmas is approaching!
Our St. Nicholas tradition has always been to lay out our stockings the night before his feast (Dec. 5) and slip in our Christmas Lists. Then, on the morning of his feast (Dec. 6) the kids awake to their lists being gone and sweet little prizes left (enter: great stocking stuffers)! We typically do small gifts and chocolates and even though they aren’t elaborate, our kids (even the teens!) get so excited. I love that this ties right along with the true story of St. Nicholas, who left coins in the middle of the night, so to not be recognized or praised!
So, for all of those who the feast has snuck up on you or you are just struggling for ideas for stocking stuffers, I have included below 15 different stocking stuffer ideas that are low cost. Some of these our children have received and love, some they will get this year, and some are just ideas that I’ve had but haven’t used yet. I hope you find this helpful!
